@LordTeddington i agree that she is in survival mode so she must be thinking on surviving and only surviving auto esteem be damned so that refutes your first point.
And she is not guaranteed to survive even one second inside her current household. Remember how the Duke sent men to kill her in her first life and this one already?
But what exactly is wrong with her family???? I'm so frickinh confused. Was the reason why they treat her bad mentioned in the earlier chapters? Am I forgetting something??
Yikes ,that is defiantly the dead body of some animal, Their Son is a psychopath. He even uses fire which is 2 out 3 elements of the homicidal Triade.
pyromania & killing animals & bed wetting [?]
@Faryshta
Except it wasn't the duke that sent them, I don't remember what chapter it was said, but I am pretty sure Hexion revealed the emperor would probably plot to have Adele killed, and would frame the duke.
@icekatze
Oh, no, I completely agree, the duke is horrible- honestly, the whole family are a bunch of psychopaths.
I was just saying that she is probably safe from the duke killing her, as he still considers Adele to be a useful pawn.
*sigh* Seriously, this family is insane. I'm glad she was able to handle it in the last life, but they all seriously need some beating because damn. If this turns into "oh, he was only treating her badly because he actually likes her" I'm going to flip!
