i am glad Carles isn't an ass to Estelle. so the knight is only around 18 years old? if i read that correctly. i guess a 7 year gap isn't too bad but she's still a child so i won't be shipping her with anyone yet

"The risk of death, I felt that more with my mother then here"

If you're using it to compare two things, it's "than"

 

[mimicking]

I think way too much about how we've managed to completely switch around the original meaning of "blood is thicker than water" somehow over the years. The original full version is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," which is to say stuff like bonds forged between comrades are stronger than those caused by something nobody can control like who your relatives are. I'd say the only reason "blood is thicker than water" ever works at all is because some people manage to forge decent bonds more along the lines of comradery within their families. Often, you see people further corrupting the original meaning of it by just using this arbitrary bond to take advantage of the kindness of someone related to them. Honestly, this is probably how the phrase evolved into the modern usage. A quick little edit and suddenly you can guilt some poor sod into helping you.

In this story, you can see how the mother probably didn't put much stock in either of the intended versions of the saying, for instance. She's my daughter? So what. We've lived together for years and should have probably bonded over that time? Nope. She's totally one of the ones attempting to use an arbitrary bond for personal gain. Her blood relation to the daughter she doesn't seem care about gives her an in with the duke who should most likely be the child's father, so she went after his money.

anyone know what chapter it is when estelle told amel (? maybe wrong person) how she was treated by her mother? thought it was this one but he didn't ask her

 

[snow_and_cats]

"Hamth's sinful finger" is the funniest thing i've seen

 

[bonkabonka]

@Flocci I think you're looking for chapter 16.

 

[Athena707]

The siblings scene is cute

 

[Richman]

I need an edited version where he asks her to call him "bro" instead of brother

 

[BoredWeeb23]

The romance better not be fuckin incest

 

[jaellasster]

[isekaied]

An age gap of 7 years... acceptable.

 

[PaperSun]

I love how quickly Charles accepted her. I'm glad there is none of that "You aren't my sister!" Drama

 

[Even_Tia02]

Well my boyfriend turned 25 last Dec 30 and I will be turning 19 this January 19 so I don't think age difference matters Hahahaha

I burst out laughing at the boy on his dads lap, I was just imaging that but the actually picture is ten times funnier
