Uh there was a reason he was waving that gun around obviously dudes.
So people still don't get why misunderstandings aren't inherently solvable like they appear to think they should be?
Nooooooo! How could you do a dirty to my man Cyclops like that!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Gawwwwwddd Max is adorable! When she rejected the CP because she thinks of him as a sadist tyrant Max's expression was like "wtf!?!?!?!". It really does look like he doesn't know where she got this idea of him. This is a big hint about the novel ending that the FL read. Because I'm pretty sure there's no way Jubellian and Max met before the end of the novel. But there's also no way his personality did a complete 180 like the novel suggests it would have had to do by the time she and Max first met in the novel, while she was in prison. Which means he was likely never thinking about torturing her. The next logical guess would be that he was there to help her.
Err, she regressed. It's not a novel, she went back in time when she killed herself.
Juve and the prince never met in the past life. She was busy being a problem child that chase her fiancé and got framed for treason and he hated her for being Legis' weakness that the emperor exploit. In the past she probably won't even bat an eye for him but in this life, she actually interacted normally with Max and because of her changed personality/perspective, he became interested in her.
Yes it is a novel she read. If you read the synopsis (it literally says it there) and reread the beginning, you'll know she transmigrated into a novel. This can also be inferred both regardless of as well as due to the spoilers I've read.
No he didn't hate her in the novel. If he did he would have known that she would try to kill herself rather than be tortured by him.
I talk about her being tortured by him rather than him being interested in her because my theory about whether he tortured her was clearly my point. If you thought my theory was about whether or not he was interested in her, it does appear you missed it.
I was also saying that it was unlikely that Juve and Max met in the novel. It looks like you thought I was saying otherwise, so I'm confused....
Edit 1: ...try to kill herself rather than be tortured by him *as he should also know is the reason she would believe that she was there for*....
Edit 2: ...my theory about whether he *was there to torture* her.....
Okay so this appears to not be adapted from either of the novels I thought it was. There are some important differences between this one and those two to make it unlikely that it was adapted from one of them. One novel had this producer guy knocked out and the FL had to get out of the room before her trash ex and stepsister brought the police to the room. The other novel had the FL sleeping and waking up next to another guy who was actually a good person and had nothing to do with her drugging. He was actually being set up as well. But the thing is he wasn't the ML.
Edit: scroll to the bottom of this post to read the added spoilers.
Ashley hates the Duke (Develo) specifically because he stood by and watched each time as Ashley was killed. Later he protects her from being injured by a sword wielded by Castor (whom the Duke later claims did not intend to harm Ashley with it. He was either testing the Duke or another companion of Ashley's, or so the Duke says). Of course this does nothing to quell Ashley's resentment towards the Duke. The Duke is the Templar of Beasts.
Ashley's mother is the Templar of Chaos.
Fleon has an older twin brother who wears glasses and looks somewhat like Castor. Fleon and his brother's mother was the previous Templar of Vulcanus. Her heir is Fleon despite him not having any power. She despises her older son because he looks like the Emperor. The Emperor forced her to be his concubine by threatening her country and killing her family members. Her older son inherited the Power of Vulcanus and the Power of the Lord(s?)* but his mother can't bear to look at him because he resembles the man who traumatized her, too much, so basically she forced herself to forget he existed. But her older son didn't grow up twisted like Castor so I feel bad for him.
Ashley is actually the Templar of Seminus (or something) because she can amplify the powers of others, such as the Stele she used to teleport herself and it's probably why she can use the diary. Ashley dropped the diary in front of Castor and it burned his hand. But him touching it also did a number on the diary itself so it stopped writing for awhile. She has a kind of lady in waiting who was supposed to become Castor's madly in love fiancee who tragically died in Light of Rusbella but after saving that Lady (Rebecca is her name), despite the fact she's still quite the coldhearted and arrogant woman, from my point of view she simps pretty badly for Ashley now. Castor also has another fiancee from yet another empire that the diary wrote was going to try and kill our MC about a year from the last chapter I read. This fiancee, like Rebecca, was also supposed to die tragically in the novel. It has been confirmed that Ashley has some imperial blood because only people with imperial blood can escape/survive (from/in) the Forbidden Forest. Ashley has also decided to take her revenge on Castor. Since she knows the events of the novel she's gonna use that knowledge to blow up the consequences Castor faces as a result of those events.
Castor has the *Power of the Heirs (don't know if the Power of the Lord is similar to this or not, though). It allows him to control the power of the other Templars to some extent since his power comes from the highest god. And you might know this already; but Castor can detect lies and read minds. Ashley gained immunity from Castor's lie detection ability only in her 30th life. And it probably took another couple lives at least for her to be able to act like a clown in such a way that Castor would let her live. But by that point she'd forgotten the advice that Amoru had given her in her first life as Ashley here until he reminded her of it in her current life. That's one of the bigger reasons why it took so many lives before she could survive beyond that day:
And in the latest chapter I've read (112) it appears Ashley is about to meet the OG heroine of the story for the first time. You know the festival that Ashley is taking part in at the beginning of chapter 1 in the manhwa (she still hasn't chosen her patronus yet btw)? Well, she remembered that Castor and Rusbella meet at the market or something before the festival takes place. So she's preparing to go to that place as well.
Edit continued. Rusbella is the OG Ashley. So apparently this is not a sandwich rebirth (I'm glad. I was kinda starting to wish for something even more different). The OG Ashley faced a death loop too. The events of the novel our Ashley read describes only one of OG Ashley's lives. The diary is a fragment of OG Ashley's soul. Castor gets stuck in a time loop by his own hand in order to trap our Ashley and cause her to go 'in****' so he can have her forever. But Ashley wakes up and escapes. So now Castor is stuck there alone and he becomes blind every time he thinks about our Ashley, I believe.
Uh this girl and the manager can't really be this clueless, can they?
Ah Maxiiiiii you're adorable! Ilysm! You are definitely a good guy under the mask of a coldhearted man. I just need to read the story from beginning to most recent chapter to know that!
Seriously dude? You didn't hurt her by just not having s3x with her. You hurt her in so many ways. I really don't think fixing your ED is going to help. Like others have said you should probably just divorce.
And in these latest chapters one of the reasons why it took her 40 lives to survive was given more context (a context I forgot to provide in my earlier long @$$ text): Castor obviously pretty much knows Ashley isn't as 'd***' as she pretends. And he would have known that in at least most of her lives. He doesn't need his lie detector ability to know that (go to next *). That's why her acting had to be amusing (not deceptive) enough for him to allow her to live. It wasn't until this life that she could accomplish that.
*In the novel we read Ashley isn't exactly unaware that Castor may know she's lying.
Plus it's made clear in the last chapter that even if Amor didn't die Ashley would still have had a hard time because she would have still lost Amor's support.
