as to why astrid decided to take only lectica is that she knows better than anyone how the house will act with her awakening. aka the sacrifice. so like hilda, she has planned to spirit her away to the mage tower before any of that and return to deliver the divorce papers considering astrid is done with the duke's bs
as for no one being surprised about tan or astrid. I imagine in astrid's case the servants have only see the prince as of late, so their priority of who to report is the instance of "astrid and the prince, or the prince and astrid.: yes there was the instance with the tower, but it seems agreed upon that it's the duke's fixation.
as for tan, thankfully our new butler has shown some actual reaction. it anything the duke's instance of giving tan a title, just moved to the face of tan who has become a human. as for the dog name... I think because tan was young as he is, they had only given him a dog name(?) though I think that's a bit illogical because pets can have human names too!
and with the head butler's perspective, aside from cautionary rules within the household. serving the household seems to have made them jaded. I mean imagine the days when astrid who have resurrected and maintain that forest as well. certainly a new catalyst but probably not the first instance of strange happenings
o, forgot that attraction causality as well. we know she's as good as astrid. so her safety is also important
also novel chapters leave off around ~30 if anyones interested
About Astrid…someone who read the novel has the answer above. You might want to look at it lol.
I did read from the latest chapter lol... in all fairness Astrid said she was done. and legit she is DONE. MC even says she's a dictator lolol
horny accountability is wild; love this situationship for them. except somehow this one is perfectly symbiotic
ml...? it's an open ending, but she does end up fulfilling her promise about William (grooming the blonde's dog) and gets a confession from black hair. there maybe also a third one at some point. though honestly, when I first read this I was initially rooting for the blonde, because I thought the period difference was too much. but off the grapevine I heard a lot of the frustrating elements of this novel are because of him. he mistakes our MC as the monster of legend who stole her face and repeatedly tests her because of this.
That better be a lying grape vine, 'cause our other candidates feel like infants compared to her....
yeah, that's the same reason why I was rooting for the blonde. I do think though, that this story so far has fleshed our main character to be more emotional and the right amount of stunted. given this change, I hope any of the ML's shape up and prove themselves better.
Kinda understandable for the blonde hair mc to test and seek answers, because it is a possibility something can just use some else face. Plus, her not able to use her real name, and her maybe not clearing things up in private with her friend could play a part of misunderstandings. Plus, trama and guilt as well. But who knows
ohhh this makes sense I guess, but didnt he try verifying her identity directly? why use such a roundabout way? it just feels like its dragging on and its a little frustrating how slow everything is going
why didnt he* my bad
aside from her original name being on the deceased list, because she gave up her name to the cat zodiac, she just has the inability to express it.
she also holds the stance that bygones are not meant to hold back the 'living,' she has no intent in being acknowledged- so should wouldn't be aware that he is trying to sound her out because he's longing for their past
he also has his own reasons for not believing in her, he carries his own trauma after all of that. though this is just my speculation based on the information presented.
can't help but wait for the fact that the message is going to blow up in his face
Same it's been on my mind since the start
he had good chemistry with his coworker! one of these days I want them to drop the ball and pursue the new romance!! argh
Fr, it's not like I want or like angst anyway but idk for me it would be better if he ended up with the coworker instead. I can see their dynamic and it's kinda cute. Like a shape shifter dog + a person who afraid of dog? It's actually funny and cute
I completely agree, plus it would be cute to see coworker overcome his fear of dogs by interacting with aoi
something else about this mermaid, I'm pretty sure he's one of those flying fish based on those fins. if mermaids display any traits like their fish counterparts, flying fish usually swim up to escape predators.
lq nuanced for what is happening
