... still, if I were Michel, I might be a bit pissed at the reveal because it's such a trap. He was going to feel like sh*t either way - love 'im and leave 'im for the "betrothed" or fall in love and beg to elope, abandoning the "betrothed." $2 says that Michel is going to face vilification and scorn either way. Well, it should be interesting from here out, but I would still sulk in a dark room, burrowed into a high, wing-back chair in front of a roaring fire, all Poe-like for at least a month to demonstrate my displeasure at being played.

    I would like to see that because Michel shouldn't be played that way.
    He has demostrated to be honest guy, and now he is hurt. It would take time for Ain to redem himself

    Aww, thanks! I usually just get lots of hate because I don’t always go with the popular opinion and then I start tangent spiraling, hehehe. I’m frankly terrified to voice my true feelings about how they outfitted Michel - the apple-greens and shell-pinks are NOT my cuppa… shhhhh….

    I wholeheartedly agree Katsura-he’s struggling with being ejected from his homeland, contracted into a marriage agreement that wasn’t what he was prepared for, introduced to a relationship dynamic he didn’t pursue, essentially groomed by a proxy to ensure he wouldn’t kick up a fuss and STILL acted honorably until the inevitable emotional turmoil engendered by physical and psychological manipulation was complete and even then he was willing to take the blame for breaking the betrothal to follow his heart. Still, I have eyes and Ain/Ian (still laughing at how freaking obvious that was from the jump) is beautiful, so I’m just popping up some corn for the next train wreck episode.

    Yes!!
    Everything that you said..yes!!
    Michel is too good for his own good. I hope that he doesn't forgive so easily to Ain just because he love him
