@Elmithian: Ah, no. By "her", I meant magic grandma here. Too many placeholder words, I suppose.

Me: Bad puss, that's not food. *sigh* Now we're going to go have to try to guess where you found it and put it back... :'p

@Elmithian: Hmm... While I don't remember exactly what I meant when I made the comment, by "the protagonist," I would have meant Ebony and none other. Interesting to me that you would seem to have interpreted it as him.

I look forward to, some time in the distant future, having to explain to some young whipper-snapper what the hell is going on with the masks and whatnot in a story like this.

@solonit: Eh... it may be splitting hairs, but I wasn't under the impression that it was a love triangle as such—Ignis never liked anyone, just needed a marriage for political reasons. Similar outcome, perhaps, but very different forces driving the conflict.

...So we'll be killing each other in a love triangle rather than any struggle for the throne, I take it. Can't catch a break. ^^;

All the "sirs" in the middle of sentences are making me think too much of the more colourful monologues of a certain ex-president. XD Alas.

...Surely it's not possible to be that dense, even as a narcissist or some such? Maybe I'm being optimistic, but the only reasonable explanation for such a reaction of shock would seem to be that that brother is completely crazy—which, okay, to be fair, he is.

Girl, no decent boyfriend material is going to think ill of you for smelling a bit after being locked up in a dungeon for a week. Also, where do you even find a butler like this? He's so damn soothing. And there's no way he's just there because the pay is good, nuh-uh, I can't imagine for a...

Yeah, I'm not clear why they would have thought our guy would suddenly take no for an answer, it's not like they haven't met the man. >_>;

One step late, indeed. I'm glad that the main romance interest in this one does in fact seem to be a pretty decent guy, despite being socially awkward and all that—otherwise I'd be screaming in frustration right now. XD

@ichypa: I feel like I've seen it happen, once or twice. But I'm afraid all of these dozens of nearly-identical stories have mixed together so much in my head that I wouldn't be able to tell you where, anymore... XD However, "agreeing not to fall in love" is a plot device one would...

I sincerely appreciate the call to sanity and good taste by the QC, even as I consider it sort of a lost cause given the genre XD I mean, this actually was all fairly morally upright by the standards I've gotten used to in these things. ~.~; @Stoner: Er... The way I read it, he didn't really...

Okay, but honestly I wouldn't think those symptoms were about her grieving for her husband, but rather for her life that's finally finished falling to pieces. Like, I thought everything made more sense before grieving for him was brought up XD

"Inappropriate feelings?" You've got the wrong lady, ms. head maid, it's him who likes her! After all, it's the author that's a cougar, not the protagonist. And yes, of course Lorenzo would probably make a better boyfriend (though he does seem just a little too earnest—but I could say the same...

The mom may be a truly horrible parent and a human being of questionable merit, yadda yadda—but I can still totally respect her decision to flip everyone the birdie and go playing with her boy-toys and slack off, after what a hell-hole living in that household must have been for her, too...

Me: Wondering not whether, but how this sort of blatant confession is going to be discounted, because it's that sort of fingers-in-your-ears series. XD @zawaourodo: Notably where he touched him was where the scar used to be visible, so it may not have been affectionate, or even a social...

"What are you thinking, marrying a king, you charlatan! What will people think?!", says the bloke who slept with the kitchen maid. ...Assuming not just lazy writing to make him The Bad Dad, I'm torn between whether to think he's projecting, or just bloody jealous that she gets better...

I was kind of nodding off for the first several chapters of this, but they've got a nice sort of bickering banter relationship going between the protagonists now and it's become much more pleasant.

"Serialization" now seems like such a strong word. x_x; It's shorter than the pre-serialization now XD I'm tempted to amend the description to "The (brief) serialization of Today I'll (Make You) Confess," or something. Alas.
