LOUDER BAE, BECAUSE PEOPLE AT THE BACK SAYING THAT THIS IS BORING, LIKE WTF IS BORING.

Yea those little things are hugely issues caused just by how fast the plot was churning itself I feel. I didn't notice half of those myself bc I was so hyper-focused on the condemnation event, the author probably had that same tunnel vision or just didn't have the panels/time to explain.

If I had to guess:
1. She's part of the family and uncovered him being shady, so perhaps they just accepted her decision and moved on. Staff can be easily replaced in this economy lmao.
2. Perhaps their relationship blossomed shortly after the condemnation event? Btw, I found it dissapointing that Zenaida just moved on from her past bs with a shrug, like she was never stressed to the point of quitting bc of Alexandra despite needing the cash.
3. Apparently not, since there's no hint of that in the manga, it would've been cool to see tho. My personal cannon is that "Lucia" posessed Lucia somehow, while Alexandra was naturally reborn. Or alternatively "Lucia" was so focused on the game and so stuck in that mindset that she was never able to truly adapt to the world, thus making her a seperate entity from og Lucia.
4. Yolo, ig? There is the 3 year gap, idk if you overlooked that or not. The child looks about that age so they sure were diligent in getting it on asap lmao.
I found it strange as well, it would make more sense if they were already married and the scene of them at the end was their official coronation as crown princ/ess or regents.

So yea, I agree the story's great, and while the pace is also part of the charm it's fast to the point where the lil details get tangled up in the tailwinds if you will.

Wow awesome thanks for replying!!
The condemnation event was the main focal so I agree it was just probably the author getting in as much as they could with the chapters they had and pretty much tunneling on that. Which worked out for the most part since they didn't deviate or leave big plot holes while keeping it interesting and planting a twist.

1. This is possible and so true about staff. I just was a bit disappointed a butler that had been with her for so long and the family, who was gathering evidence on her, was dealt with and no one questioned it or asked about him while they were having dinner. The guy never showed up again or went to talk with lucia the next day etc. It's a small point compared to everything else but it felt disconnected.
2.Yeah she seemed to move past it and her brother didnt seem against her at all so maybe they grew close after but still i agree with you i didnt like how fast zenaida got over how awful past Alexandra was to her and accpted her talk of a "revelation" of whats to come. She took that and blew everything behind her and gained strong loyalty.
3.I like this interpretation.
4. Sorry i didnt make it clear, I knew there was a time skip because the og fiance got sent on a crusade but failed and Gerald went on his own and succeeded. I just thought that having a child, especially 3 or so many years before their official wedding would've been taboo or frowned upon and I assumed she would've made Gerald wait longer. I wish it played out like you said. Where they had been married and the scene would be their coronation.

Like you said the story is charming and the little details kind of just got swept along. It was an enjoyable ride and I hope I can find another story even more wild, a little longer, and just as charming to throw myself into.

For 3 Lucia came from another world and her soul went in the real Lucia’s body I’m guessing while Lucia was still alive but Alexandra just relived her life in the same world so Alexandra is still Alexandra but with her past life knowledge

Dang those are some things that really make you think about it more in depth, I guess the speedrun tried to gloss over a lot of it/keep the fast pace throughout lol

1. It could be that rather than the family butlet/head butler he was her personal butler, allowing him to collect so much intel on her and making it more of her business whether or not she fired him
2. Yeah tbh that part was also kind of iffy to me, they glossed over all of the verbal abuse she suffered so easily T^T
The only thing I can think of is that maybe her parents were similar with the short flashback she had of them so it was normalized to her?? Idk
3. Somnia has a fun take on this, thinking something similar where lucia × lucia didn't mesh too well, and also when "lucia" came in og lucia was a child so probs had less control/sense of self established, compared to alexandra being hit with like a memory bomb in essence
4. Thank you for bringing this up!!! I thought it was so weird that they had not 1 but 2??? kids before marriage, esp one that looks like they're almost 5?? Like this kid is walking and talking what? And Gerald also supposedly went on this crusade after his brother failed so how did they have the time? They speedran this relationship so hard seriously. Wish that they'd given it more time, also for her to get over Alfonso a bit more before rushing into things, but hoping that the 3 years later was additive to the 6 months from before, at least that gives it a bit more time hhhhh

Exactly what I was thinking about, except the Alexandra being inside Alexandra thing. Alexandra was born as Alexandra, she just happened to remember her previous life while Lucia was a transmigrator, meaning another soul entered Lucia's body. The problem with Lucia is that Lucia's original soul was still there when the transmigrator's soul entered the body, so the original Lucia's soul got trapped.

Also, let me add something:

-Prince Felipe married his rapist. I mean, he was the one who assaulted her, but that was because she drugged him and she was adding fuel to the fire by seducing him and touching him.

Yea drugging him sure as hell is a crime. I think it's important to keep in mind that Alexandra's side isn't the good guy squad, her whole circle is pretty elitist if we're being honest. It's simply about getting rid of the outsider, this tempress/wanna-be saviour.
I could start making excuses for why drugging him was ok and what not, but yikes let's not go there. It's just another case of the manga rushing as well as this general disconnect/neglect a lot of people feel towards male victims.

In my own cannon he'll eventually find out that his wife drugged him on purpose and leave with the kids.
