as of now though, the characters have only ever been in one situation. roxana constantly in survival mode. cassis always being in captivity. dion never having not been in a position of power. this shows us each of their traits. roxana is cunning. cassis is upright. dion is heartless. but that's exactly it. the story has only shown us this aspect of their personalities, which gives us a clearer view of what type of role this character will have, but doesn't tell us what this character is really like as a person. characters need to be in different situations for us to see how they truly are, and for us to be able to relate to them. but then again, the pacing of this manhwa is very slow. even at ch20, it still feels like buildup. so since there's time for the author to explore the characters and their relationships in the future, i'll rate this a solid 9.
