Why is Prince still calling Melissa a fiancee? She's completely rejected him and he's met Yuri now, so why on earth wouldn't he break the engagement?
I think the fact that he said "I want to leave my fiance but she..." Is a point in favor of @Himechu's idea. Sounds like he's being controlled too, he's just not as aware of it as Yuri.
And if she's controlled AND looping through the routes... That poor girl! That makes Melissa very special for being able to act independently, and change the world around her.
Yuriiii
Could it be that she's been relooping back into time like an actual otome game and having to deal with these shits every time? If so I feel so bad for her
Oh damn! She knows that she’s the heroine??
Or maybe she’s been through this before in an endless circle?
Who knows!? (Probably someone’s who’s read the novel let’s be real.)
So much to theorize, I can’t wait for the next chapter~
And now I feel even worse for Yuri to have all these jerks force their way into her life. That exchange with the Prince making her indebted to him particularly pissed me off. It was so satisfying to see those 4 get shit on.
