Is that cute child really that scummy Prince Cedric? What happened to him?! Lol

 

[Nekocchi]

Baby Cedric is cute but teen Cedric.... haaah

 

[Suckerforshipping]

How did Cedric grow to be such a bitch??

 

[illusion_moon]

The young Cedric was so cute!

What a pity! He shouldn’t have grown up. He should have just died some time in the middle. Lol.

CEDRIC WAS SO ADORABLE HOW!??!??!??!??!?

 

[BanditHadron]

Why was he damn cute

 

[zz2000]

@hiko27 Apparently the reasons for Cedric's current issues are explained in LN Vol 3/WN Arc 3.

Given the manga will soon end its coverage of LN Vol 1 content, I hope the manga will continue adapting the next 5 novels. Suffice to say Aileen just keeps on being assertively awesome.

 

[Pocky8]

Cuties.

Oh King Claude, why not go the yaoi route with Keith instead.

@Suckerforshipping: Being raised as crown prince did that to him.

He NEEDED to be successful, be at the top, because he's to be the king, that's likely all his teachers told him, directly or discreetly.
But at the same time, because he's the prince, whatever he say, go.

The way he treat Aileen is basically the result of that.
He treat her like his 'thing' because he's the crown prince.
He 'dislike' her being successful because it reflect poorly on his own perceived imperfection.

And so, unlike Aileen who's busy trying to polish herself into that perfect queen candidate, the heroine fawning over him feed into his ego (even though in truth she's just using him for HER own ego) and made him chose the heroine over the less responsive Aileen.

But because he still think of her as his possession, when Aileen did not cry and beg for forgiveness, and instead went and got Claude, the 'better one' in Cedric's eyes, it hit his ego HARD and made him hold grudges.

tl;dr? The pressure from society combined with the lack of anybody to tell him how to treat others with respect made him into egoistic manchild who demands adoration of others but always treat others as 'below' him.

Cedric is cute. Why is Cedric is cute. I refute this all.

 

[Ladyalexia]

Awwww. I want to kidnap baby Cedric and somehow raise him to grow up as a respectful man.

Not the jerk he becomes, I will avoid those messy flags somehow.

 

[July_Daydreamer]

Omg, so cuuuuuuute!
Cedric, why you a dick now???????? Before you where so cute ;3;

 

[Kazedoom]

I’m heartbroken that this is not ch 10.

But then they heal me with this diabetes inducing chapter....
Thank you.

 

[sketches]

Now we all know we just need Cedric to have an age reversing spell to become tolerable again.

 

[JutlandAngel]

@sketches not even baby Cedric can make me forgive him.

 

[Vofuro]

[JWChibi]
