Ahaah so this story is full of misunderstanding. It can be so frustrating but I think it fun and read until the end ! They are so cute
Basically, the MLs enemy is himself. He doesn’t reveal that he is the master until the end. Learning that the emperor is targeting Judith, ML decides to support his half brother completely and reveals the truth of his birth and just as good mother prophesied he kills the emperor. But way before deciding to assassinate the emperor, Judith confesses her feelings to the master and they spend a night together while Judith blind folds herself saying she still wait until the master is comfortable revealing his face. So Ekian leaves a heartfelt letter saying he will come back for her, as he did not want to reveal that he is going to kill his father as he was cursed to do. Although Ekian doesn’t reveal the assassination plan, Judith manages to guess it based on baggies prices of information. She focuses on helping Melanie, the crown princess to detoxify CP and end up learning that she is nots truly pregnant. Initially she plans to start put until Ekian comes, but she feels guilty about staying as the young duchess while being pregnant with another man’s child and so she expedited the divorce process with Isabella’s help who was also disappointed with her son, who left suddenly on CPs orders without explanation. Only the CP and his wife knew that Ekian went to kill the emperor. While preparing to leave the duchy after divorce, Judith learns that her mother’s lover Jess trying to kill her and comes to an inference that it must be on the emperor’s orders and decides to escape quietly after informing Ben and Isabella. She goes to the ruined temple, where the priestess teleports her to the border away from the empire where a remnant of her tribe lives.
The misunderstandings aren’t as annoying as with the other stories in similar tripe and honestly the FL makes pretty rational decisions, given her situation.
Need spoilers. I know he is coming back home but will he reveal that he is the master of the guild? And what happens to Judith after that
