Why do people hate talking and voicing their opinions so much when they're confused? God this is so frustrating cause the bottom just loves to think and the seme just loves to shut up. I'm still gonna read but I wanna bang my head on something and then bang their head against each other due to the frustration of their great communication
POV: my entire thought process throughout this chapter
But seriously, one of my biggest pet peeves is when characters have a major event happen to them and then they say….absolutely nothing??? Like?? You got NOTHING to say to that???? + vice versa when characters say all sorts of shit no one in real life would say aloud but of course they decide to monologue aloud and then !surprise! They get discovered a moment later when they simply could have just thought the stuff they spoke.
I don't know about you guys but, maybe just maybe, fail at being the candidate so you won't have to worry about your sister being married to that ahole? She won't even have the chance unless for some unbelievable situation where the guy suddenly sees her and decides to marry her. I mean why even sacrifice yourself unless you wanna kill him and his mistress? I would've just failed at that shit. Why would I wanna marry a dude who has a mistress already and will probably treat you like shit?
No, it was her father/family wish for her to fail. She wants to be Empress to prevent her family's tragedy from their last life. I don't see the point in being Empress if the whole thing from last life was set up cause the older sister loved the king and the other redhead just set her up to be killed. If it was political then yeah I understand why she would want to marry him to prevent it. We don't know the real reason either cause no one thought to tell MC for whatever reason.










If Ray or Hildegarde would just say they love the other and it's not because of the contract, it would save them both the hassle of wondering if the other actually is in love with them. Ray take your father advice for once and actually talk instead of guessing her thoughts on your own. It's a bit ridiculous how the two go out of their way to make up weird things about the other saying yes or no. How about just voicing it instead like how you voice your opinions about the countries affairs and your needlework? That's apparently too hard to do. While I do like this story, this simple situation could've been resolved a whole lot sooner but then I guess we wouldn't get drama from that.
