He always knew she was his mate. He hated being a Dragon and hated the destiny he was given. So he denied her and saw her as a weakness. It was only after she died and he lived with insanity for 7 years that he realized his mistake and misunderstood what he was given. I think they worked out because he never ex-edged her to fully forgive him and fully love him. He always knew the past would hurt her and be a scar on her heart. He always apologized and never expected anything in return as long as she stayed with him. She stayed with him because she eventually realized who she was and her past mistakes as well. She ended up meeting him halfway with her feelings cause she realized how truly devoted he was to her in the new life.
i don’t quite get the narrative people are trying to push through just because this is majorly the fl’s pov, but again, i don’t really think that he knew but i had to say he has his own assumption, he never confirmed. he was only sure when she died and that’s when he lost it. regardless, they were never a thing in their past life. she was never considered an official mate and he never took her as one. it’s entirely understandable to be frustrated to what happened to her, but i can’t really see to it that it was only the ml’s fault. they were both at fault for not communicating well enough and letting their rs stale enough be it personal or as a subordinate. then, come to the present life where the fl is supposed to ‘leave’ but all of her actions are opposite to what she’s been preaching. i can’t say she’s stupid but i definitely find it funny. at first, i thought she was just a complex character but then it fell through lol. but well, happy for them regardless, tho the story was quite bland and predictable.
Yeah, I think they are both to blame, I wasn’t only blaming him. Both were in the wrong. But I still stand by that he knew she was his mate, especially after she died. He just refused to accept his Dragon self and believed he didn’t need a mate. It was in his flash backs as he told her his side of the past.
ugh idk both of them (fl and ml) are infuriating. i just find it ironic how the fl kept saying one thing and doing the opposite. as the story progress, i also felt like it was partly the fl’s fault why she keeps hurting because of her own one-sided expectations whereas the ml was oblivious to anything. i can even understand his indifference since they weren’t even a thing lol and didn’t know she was his mate, whereas, the fl has her own truth that the ml doesn’t accept her as a mate. in the end, both of them were just dumb in communicating yup. and girl, must i say how annoying the ml can be and his obsessive complex?? i’m even more surprised how they even worked out
the only interesting character i read here is actually the supposed to be fake empress. not gonna lie, but she has more depth and complexity compared to the fl lol
