to be honest, it looks like black haired guy has been living multiple lifespans and has unlimited life and he most likely will be endgame bcuz he’ll be able to share his life with her and they both get to live a normal lifespan length idk if i read this somewhere but yeah
the prince is already obsessed with her with her makeup on. when they find her, her makeup will be washed off so IN FRONT OF ALL the mls in the og story she hated
all three of those dresses made me speechless like that last suit was a whole POWER move literally QUEEN BEHAVIOUR
so i might be wrong but in the first life, did gretel (the mom) get a proposal from the hero or was it forced by the marquis? maybe the hero rmbrs his past life and is trying to make amends WHICH explains why the timeline moved up and the marquis came sooner than mc planned
also i don’t want lucian to be the mL if the duke is the moms ml even if they’re not really related (but it looks like he is ╥﹏╥ )
