relationship dynamics that are *chef's kiss*

i mean, there's no power imbalance, the dialogue between them feels natural and witty ,,, also they're both hot as fuck so

i love love love how villain-y tia is. how she manipulates ppl to further her objectives, how cunning she is.. and how despite all of this, she's rather innocent (?) in certain aspects, esp when it comes to her emotions. then we have cedric, who is super straight-laced,,, literally too pure for this fighting for the throne shit ,,, yet it is this caring nature that makes him so emotionally mature,, they compliment each other and balance each other out without being overbearing or toxic ugh yes

~this will make more sense if you read the novel~ love how ML is super respectful of her and acknowledges her strengths without being a bitch about it like other MLs lmao ,,, yes the bar is on the ground but STILL i recommend i rly love both leads and their banter

seme is not forceful/rapey at all, super sweet and gentle ,,, uke is p clear on what he wants (rough sex lol) ,,, the "i give you my body so we're going to fuck" & "how romantic" does it for me LMAO so funny
