If that were the case then there is no need for this story. Where are you getting that she is his aunt? Anna is his cousin but he and Carla have no blood ties lol she never married his uncle. The only thing weird here IS their age gap but they are consenting adults so who cares. I'm sure the King will recognize Anna enough to let her marry the ML but they are not going to enter society its so clear that he is going to give up his status to live with her on the farm.

Wait, how old are they?

Franz is 26 and Carla is 36 i think. She got pregnant at like 16 i think and Anna is 20. so they only have a 10 year age gap as far as i can tell.

I also hate that pairing. And while Carla isn't his aunt, I get the ick just thinking she's gonna fall for the guy she knows is her daughters older cousin. I can't stomach it but Anna and Bertram are precious so I'll always read this for them, they're so cute

was it really stated in the past chapter that she was 16 when she got pregnant? i knew she's still kinda young but i thought she would be like 40 yrs old. 10 yrs old gap is not a big deal but i do think it will be an awkward situation for anna and franz. from cousin to father

i'm pretty sure! with these translations things can always be... but that's what i remember!

also anna seems to be pretty aware of franz's feelings and doesn't care. i don't think it's a big deal it's not like carla and philip had a relationship. he took advantage of her and then abandoned her. that does not make people family.

Carla is not his aunt by blood but more like aunt-in-law. And the weird thing about them is not their age gap but the fact that Franz and Anna are cousins by blood. It's more disturbing to see your cousin by blood trying to be your stepfather

ya'll are creating relationships where there aren't and giving meaning to things that don't. yes if the cousin you grew up with started trying to date your mom that would be weird and inappropriate. but they are all strangers and there is no shared biology between the people involved and there's not even that big of an age gap between them so i really think ya'll gotta get over this. it's only weird if you make it about you and not about the characters. nobody is asking you to let your cousin marry your mom haha

literally there's no one making it about THEM??? lmao

erm let me rephrase about my last sentence. Rather than their age gap (which the other person mentioned) it's more weird and disturbing to see a character who has blood relation to other character develop a feeling for that character's mother. And nobody is literally making the situation about theirselves

it might not be traditional for sure but in this specific situation i don't see anything wrong with it. carla should make all her life decisions based on a mistake she made when she was a child? i think not. and franz should make his life decisions bc of his shitty uncle? also i think not. he's not making a decision based on anyone but his own feelings which are developing for carla cause she's awesome and strong and beautiful and he's got good taste. it's only natural to fall in love with the beautiful strong independent woman in front of him. i don't see what's so weird about it unless you're projecting your own beliefs onto both the characters.

Franz is the duke's son, and the duke is Philips borther, making Anna Philip's daughter because Philip got Carla preg before she got married to her late husband making Anna and Franz cousin, did u not read the story? Even if Carla and Franz isnt blood related its still weird because as I have stated, Anna is her daughter, and since Anna is Franz cousin, that make Carla his aunt.

Bro, just because they dont know they are related does not make it any better, as i stated in my reasoning, eventually, Anna is gonna know the truth, and it gonna hella weird for Franz who is suppose ot be her cousin related by blood to date her mom

I lit said theres nothing wrong with him falling in love with her, I thinks its cute, but its the fact that she is technically his aunt that makes it weird because Anna is her daughter and Anna is his cousin related by blood, u people are just twisting my point.

She seems fine with it for rn because she doesnt know that Franz is her cousin, BUT WE KNOW BC WE READ THE STORY, thats what makes it weird, its the fact that the reader know something that the character doesnt.

People who try to defend their relationship is gen so weird, I dont mind that he has a crush on her if she was a complete stranger, but its the fact that Anna is his cousin related by blood and Carla is her mother, therefore making her his Auntm so yes i think its year, idk why u people are trying to say Im creating relationship out of thin air even tho its litertally in the story if u actually read it. What so wrong about finding a relationship between an aunt-inlaw and a nephew in law weird. Even if she doesnt end uo with Philips, which she most deff wont, it still doent change the fact that Anna is blood related to Franz and will have to acknowledge him as her father if he were to get with her mother one day, MAKING THE WHOLE RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC MESSY.

then don't read it. nobody is forcing you. they are not related. not legally and not biologically and your judgment doesn't make it wrong lol it just makes you judgmental of innocent love. hate all you want but the story was written before the manhwa came out and you can't change it through force haha

plus again you stated aunt-in-law but the in-law doesn't exist. she is anna's mother and franz and anna are biologically cousins but carla and franz are not related. not on paper and not biologically. you are free to find it weird but that doesn't change that that's where the story is going.

Ur whole argument is, it’s ok bc they’re not biological related, which is just weird af, they don’t have to be biologically related for it to not be weird, it’s the fact that Anna and Franz is blood related alone is already making it weird bc if they do end up tgh, he’s tech gonna become her step dad even hes literally her cousin by blood. How tf am I being judgmental when I’m just sharing my discomfort about the ship the story is good it’s just their relationship weird me out bc she’s technically suppose to be his aunt in law, so imma keep reading bc I can.

Doenst matter if they are biologically related or if she is in-law or not, it’s the fact that Anna is till her daughter and she’s still blood related to him already makes it weird, even if the story goes that route, I’m just expressing my opinion about the ship bc it is genuinely weird to have to see Anna acknowledge Franz as her father even hes literally around her own age, and suppose to be her cousin. Just say u ship them

You know that people quite literally use to marry their relatives right? It wouldn't have even been unusual for Franz and Anna to have been arranged to marry as cousins. You say that Anna would have to recognize him as her father but I feel like your reading comprehension is low because there is no way anyone is going to make her do that. I doubt him and Carla even get married but just have a quiet low key relationship. I don't think you are weird for finding this couple odd, I think the age gap is odd, but you just seem so immature that I don't understand why you are reading a complex story like this. I don't even care about their relationship all that much but it's pretty funny how deeply bothered you seem to be
