A Stepmother's Märchen - Vol. 1 Ch. 61 - Epilogue 5 - The Ending of a Fairy Tale (6)

[lemon_berry]

I got confused why this chapter mention Jeremy as Shuli's lover and turns out it's a mistranslation the original line is "노이반슈타인의 사자는 죽은 여인에 대한 그리움으로 반쯤 미쳐있었고" for those who know how to read KR (여인 is not lover btw it's woman).

It basically says he went half-crazy cause he misses the dead woman aka Shuli.

That photo of Nora and Shuli So beautiful but sad

 

[Pearlaloush]

Damn, this manhwa is freaking precious!

 

[Thirst_420]

The art is *chef's kiss*. Adult Nora is hot. That aside, this chapter is so heartbreaking. Shuli didn't realize how much she had impacted on other's lives.

 

[shiirosagi]

They're literally meant to be. My heart hurts so much fir the both of them. It's so beautiful and tragic at the same time

It's a good thing that her second life is far better. I just wonder how they'll overcome their enemies from the church...

@no168_92 I also get what you mean, people also have differente preferences about how a story would unfold.

To be honest, the ending of the trip on the mountain feels like a good ending for now. For the first time, the artist ended the chapter with no drama, only the Neuschwanstein being happy (finally). That means that for now we won't see the actual plot since after the Epilogue arch, the manhwa will take a break.
This arch is supposed to give suspense and to make our heart heavy and that even though Neuschwanstein family is currently happy in the actual story we must not forget there are many other problems to resolve like the cardinal who hates Shuli and the power struggle between the church and the empire (topic that i believe will take some space in the future of the second timeline).

Anyway, i hope you still enjoy the arch, even though you believe it's not fitted at this point of the story, it's still written good and enjoyable (beside some confusing points)

@sunhay, i am happy you agree with me! Regarding your comment, i don't believe shuli was underneath highly respected. It's more like "don't talk bad about the dead people" kinda thing

 

[pinable]

ADULT NORA OMG, I THIRST OVER HIM SO MUCH, SOMEONE STOP ME BEFORE THEY PUT ME INTO HORNY JAIL
BUT LOOK AT THIS SHOULDERS, I COULD TAKE A NAP ON THEM FOR HOW BIG THEY ARE OMG HE LOOKS SO SECSY AND JUICY

 

[Arisa05]

This flashback epilogue is so intense. Nora fell hopelessly in love with her and Jeremy going insane when he heard the news about Shuli. Damn I love this so much. Nora makes my heart ache by just being in the fucking panel oh God i want to go back to the reincarnated timeline this is just too much for my heart

 

[NgọcTrai]

This is the most epilogue chapters I’ve ever seen... I didn’t even know you could have this many... are we breaking rules right now?
If so, I volunteer to take one for the team and be punished by daddy Nora.

 

[Jumaca]

adult Nora is hot tho

 

[Athena707]

That Nora and Shuli portrait looks so holy and beautiful
I cried the moment Shuli asked why Nora were crying and then she said you are hurt only a lonely and hurt people could recognize the pain in the other's eyes
Please, let this new life be a happy one for all of them

 

[Sabinaa]

Please these few chapters are breaking my heart so much

 

[misakurei]

ma i'm crying

Spoiler

that cardinal should be burned i hate him

 

[Trezcast]

@ouibe definitely! This isn’t the only manga that shows/informs us what happens after the MC dies, but if you consider it, it’s actually very significant.

Usually the MC dies in an execution or other severe methods, you would think the death of such high ranking people over insignificant matters/false accusations without proper investigation of the actual events is someone’s plot, because a king can’t just randomly kill off one of his country’s pillars or offend them by getting rid of their child. It would logically imply that either:
1. The king is an idiot with a single brain-cell
2. The king is corrupt
3. This is planned by an enemy country/entity
4. All of the above

The reason I mention the king and not the prince is that the prince couldn’t possibly perform a public execution without the king’s permission no matter how much of and idiot/a** he is

 

[Keiraxix]

That picture of Nora and Shuli is so beautiful Also Adult Nora is so hot

 

[LilMonsterGurlDesi]

I think the absolutely GORGEOUS pic ofvNora n Shuli is both meant to be symbolism and foreshadowing WHICH I LUUUUUUUV

In this life time Nora was meant to be a hidden protector from his point of view. However he couldn't save her n can only punish those who hurt her now.

But it's possible that in the new life time he'll be there to save her this time, like how he protected her when her brother showed up.

Another person pointed out that the church is taking a more intense interest in Shuli earlier than before, (they thought she would crumble but after 7 years she was still strong) which means they might try and act sooner since she's already building a good reputation n strong stance.

So I'm hoping for Nora saving her when they try something similar.

Also the cardinal should get a pitchfork up his a**

 

[Tinachanchan]

Damn the art panel of Nora and Shulli. So damn good. Shulli deserved the time travel. They all deserved the second chance in life (except the cardinal or whoever ordered to kill Shulli)

 

[Kandid]

The art and plot are absolutely insanely gorgeous like wow im at a loss for words. Hands down one of the best I've ever read. Thanks for translating!!
