Had to take a break, I feel so bad for Ercella, the post-partum depression she went through at such a young age and her (im sorry) USELESS HUSBAND while she was going through it. 'what's wrong with you' I dunno HARZEN maybe she was left all alone during a very vulnerable time, believing - and rightly so - that she has no power or allies to support her and anything she has including her child could so easily disappear. AAA
Also I felt so bad for her son, yes she was going through a lot but I'm not going to excuse her or anyone else from how he was treated as well, the poor boy probably felt so alone and unloved by both his parents. As much as it does feel a bit too late, I am glad he is getting shown affection from his mother now and their relationship seems to be restoring well!!
Also some little things that I've appreciated about this, in lots of these stories the ML will provide everything and give so many expensive gifts and things to the MC, in some cases the MC really only has what the ML gives her but it's always portrayed in such a positive light, like oh wow how generous and loving of the ML! But then Vicente found out that yes his mother has access to many things.. if she asks for permission. Of course Harzen will buy her this, and of course he'll let her out of the house if she asks, she has so much freedom! The life of a woman, the noblest in the land even, is still so constrained. She has no authority despite how high her status is, even her own 15 yr old son has more power than her :( Also I do like how Harzen and her have never had a bad relationship, so often in these stories the two leads will have a cold marriage and never speak because of a silly misunderstanding, they make it a point that they got along quite well but were never in love with each other, which was a nice change of pace.
Anyway I'm really enjoying this, and even though I have a bone to pick with Harzen, I'll let it slide if Ercella is happy (sigh Juan you could have been so good for her..)
