Can people SHUT THE FUCK UP about the story being too slow. It literally JUST started, get off tiktok and learn to have some patience.
Anyway the FL better then me because I would've killed that red bitch's child. An eye for an eye? Nah, a baby for a baby.
Also little weird that the potential ML views the FL similar to his sister and that she's now gonna have to look like her too (weird plot device to have for romance but eh, there have been worse.)
I know it's supposed to be a short story but I really wish it was longer The concept itself is so interesting: a female painter who is struggling against gender norms to make a name for herself meets a neglected prince who is treated like a political tool that is fighting for power. Its a nice quick read if you like historical smut with a taste of plot

Perhaps I'm a pessimist who has read too many dramatic novels with intense plots but I didn't expect the plot to play out like this when reading the Prologue.
Like I don't like how surprisingly easy it is for Leah to sneak out not once, not twice but THREE times.. like did we forget about Castle Guards, her maids.. anyone working at all? For a princess to be able to escape her own chambers easily and not alert anybody.. it makes me question how no one has assassinated her whole entire family. It also doesn't make sense when we know two members of the Royal family are obsessed with her, these recent chapters don't pose her half brother or step mother as a threat at all because despite their possessive tendacies, they can't seem to notice when said princess is missing for an ENTIRE night (Like you think they would have spies to watch her or something that would put the tension high without it feeling random and dry)
There should've been a whole commotion at the fact that their princess went missing the entire night yet everything is so unbelievably tame that I'm struggling to remember if I'm reading the same story with every chapter update.. I just feel like the author's words aren't matching up with the story, if her family is obsessed then show rather then tell. I personally just don't feel like her brother presented to be as dangerous as a threat as the author hoped.. only a creepy, disgusting and self-entitled pervert.
While I utterly despise and somewhat pity Rashta... her children are both adorable ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ They both deserve better parents and a healthy environment to grow up in, so unfair they have to be used as tools by selfish greedy people who are fully grown and cannot communicate with a working braincell.
(Spoiler?) Aparently after all they will both be cared by their real father with a lot of love and live well (their father really love them, he just seek for rastha because she is their mother and obviously can give the first child better environment...since his father is still the head of the family and hide and neglets his grandchild)
No actually if I recall correctly the princess will be sent away by Sovieshu since it was proben she wasn't her child(spoiler but it turns out she's his child? The MTL is confusing) but Sovieshu still loves her so he sent her away together with the nanny but the carriage was attacked by bandits and took away the princess. The bandit leader raised the princess herself and in the future became the bodyguard of one of Navier's children.
Yes and the DNA test was actually tampered and it showed Sovieshu wasn't the father so he sent the princess away. Then after sending her away Duke Ergi confront(?) Or told via letter (IDK like I said the MTL sucks)Sovieshu and said that the DNA test was tampered and he's actually the real father and that he wasn't really infertile so it drove him mad that he tried to commit suslide and then got an amnesia where he thought he was still 19?or young before marrying Navier.
I know Pereshati cares about Celphi and wants to fix or at least help his mom to be at least updated on his achievements but I can't help but feel like she's slightly pushed the line Like.. not every mother wants to meet their abandoned child nor does every child want to see the birth parent who they felt abandoned by. It's an awkward situation that should be handled sensibly with consent from both parties. What I mean is, I wish she would've asked both parties if they were okay with any of this rather then impulsively showing up at someone's house who she barely knew, overstaying her welcome when they asked you to leave and shoving their child's history in their face despite them clearly not in the mood for that. Pereshati has good intentions, I'm not exactly angry with that. It's just.. I feel like I also understand where Celphi's mom is coming from and how not everything can be easily resolved. Just glad Theodore and Pereshati communicated around the issue and both found a more suitable solution (Although Celphi's mom made it pretty clear she wants nothing to do with those people which is pretty justified.)
