THAT ... is and EVIL looking cape. It's like the prince turned to the royal tailor and was like: "I need the most evil cape possible. You know the one: pitch black with the blood red interior, dagger like metal clasps and the fur trimming. Preferably from an endangered species. If I walk into a room and even one person has the slightest doubt that I'm not a questionably shady dude, then it's not evil enough. And while you're at it, make sure it's really f**king long. Just to make every poor f**ker who has to get close to me for any reason really nervous and also give me a reason to ruin them if they accidently step on it."
The most tragic thing about about the whole matter may be that in the original timeline this dickhead Marquess and his sister get their entire family, including Michael and Yulian, slaughtered by Linden. Their children didn't have anything to do with the Empress and Princess' murder and even feel that their family was the guilty party, yet Linden kills them too by association. I know they are part of an enemy family, but it's still sort of hypocritical of Linden.
Ha, finally! Dark Claude is calling Mr. White out on his bullshit. Mr. White, you have been helping this guy with his plot to overthrow the emperor for almost 15 years. You really think this evil super dark mage guy is just going to let you pull out from the plans now that you realize how serious this shit is? I'm sure, 15 years ago the plan seemed a lot easier: have Claude fall in love with Jeanette, make her his heir legally, and have her put on the throne with your son as her husband. But shit was going wrong WAY before this point and you should never had let your greed allow you to be involved in the first place if you weren't willing to risk your and your family's necks.

Honestly, this doesn't look good. The best plot lies in chapters 1-6, after that it just dies at this point...
The raws are tough to understand, but basically Cosette is claiming to be the child of the Duke's previous wife who was chased out and claiming that the MC is not the Duke's real child, but born from an affair. Cosette summons the water spirits from prophecy (or so it appears to everyone) and the fucktard Duke's response is to turn to the child of his second wife, whom he raised since birth and saw as his daughter for her whole life and have her executed for impersonating as his daughter (which by logic is stupid: a baby whose mother died when she was a toddler, can't scheme against you, asshole).
She wakes up a few years prior to her death remembering everything. Meanwhile, the Duke wakes up as well from the scene of her being executed and suffers from flashbacks ever since. And he is actually really disturbed by them.
Which sounds interesting! A plot where the father actually has some recollection of his wrongdoings. Unfortunately, where other novels MC's focus on becoming more competent, this MC devotes herself to being liked and spends the next 15+ fucking chapters obsessing over fucking romance novels with the maids. Its like she regressed: once an incredibly smart and competent teenager, now a love-obsessed moron.
Tbh, I can understand where's she coming from. She saw in her previous life that being liked was more advantageous than being dignified. Her getting all buddy buddy with everyone is not only because she never had friends, but also an investment - if she'll be accused if being a fake again, someone might help her escape death.
Ye I also find it very reasonable that she's trying to make up for what she didnt have in her first life. Plus, she's already an excellent lady so she doesnt need to focus on becoming more excellent, I mean her manners and studies and swordsmanship is already good. It is a very wise decision and I dont understand why the person giving spoiler is saying its a not a very good development.
well I may drop it if she continue being love obsessed moron but look at a positive view, let's be honest mc needs ally because otherwise she may got accuse for being a bad guy coz blonde bitch have a lots of bitch following her she's doing what the blonde bitch do, being kind and friendly to people, she can use that opportunity to act victim but I hope she's being smart on using that tactic, she's strong and competent in the past but if she had that personality where being kind and friendly to others but actually hiding those competent and strong personality of hers then I guess i would continue reading it BUT if she letting herself getting beaten by that blond bitch or relying to that ally she work hard for then I'm done! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭








I've glanced ahead at the raws and Violetta has to be the one of the dumbest FL in all manga history. It's literally infuriating - I know that characters are supposed to have flaws, but this webtoon seems to struggle between wanting to paint her as a strong FL and wanting her to be a complete helpless idiot, dependent on others for survival. Later on the webtoon does this weird 180 where she attains this really cold-blooded "kill anyone who threatens me" attitude, but this doesn't really seem to make her any more clever or developed as most of the people whose heads she blows off could have been avoided with having the intelligence to see the glaring warning signs in the first place.
Just one case: she gets poisoned because a random little girl offers her a candy at a party and she F-ING EATS IT!! Bitch, you have so many enemies that you can't even look to the right without seeing one, but sure, eat whatever any random stranger offers. This happens at the same party where a minute before she gets creepily threatened by the psycho 3rd queen. "Wow she's evil as fuck and clearly out to get me, but I'll just eat this candy offered to me by a random stranger". The fact that she survives is a miracle, and mostly due to luck and the ML.
Omg. I can’t. Like cmon, you’re a high status lady with many envious eyes from others and someone offers you a piece of candy, would you take it? For me I would take it and throw it out the window.
