Little prince: "Please have a fake engagement with your (almost) adopted brother, making both the crown prince and your younger sister (...who for some reason is NOT also my brother's - almost - adopted younger sister) very VERY upset."
Woa, did adult Rachel always have that figure and attitude??? She's a bomshell menace!! hahaha.
Yas... the FL will take part in the siren's interrogation, and that's when she'll most probably get the chance to find out something (I also bet Miss Siren is dying to talk to her, too, if just to say sth about the ML's "rather intense" hidden intentions... lmao)
The alleged "harem" is turning out to be only two guys who get all the scenes: the ex gladiator and the blushing knight... and neither of the two is particularly entertaining. It's getting boring. Even the stepsister annoying everyone with her newfound "faith" due to her crush on the cutie priest is becoming more fun than the FL's boring "seductions"
I have a nagging feeling the killer isn't either of the two MLs, but her father (my gut feeling is, the guy was never her real father, since she looks nothing like him)
ML: "I'm gonna use your wish to protect me from scandals to make you agree to being my sex toy, and once you agree, I'm gonna torture you for abandoning me back in high school..."
Also ML: "Didn't get to prolong the torture cause I came right away bc of how much I like you..."
Stupid ass.
Heh, you keep trying to drive him into a corner to force him to be honest about his feelings... but it's not like you were ever honest with him either, Mr "I like a(nother) dude so be a good 'friend' and help me test it"
Gaaaaah... neither did they get to hear about the rebellion, nor about them planning treason against the duke, nor about the viscount's daughter's true appearance! Author-nim, why are you doing this to my blood pressure...!! (╯T﹏T)╯╧╧
So, dear Han Jei... you're a guy who's about to get married with a wedding right around the corner, who is not only lying his head on his friend's lap for comfort, but even wanting to share the bed... and you still thinks it's supposed to be just a "caring friend" relationship?
Dude, you need therapy...
I don't quite agree, friends can totally do those things. In his case though... he's clearly got some feelings. Which is ehy it pisses me off that he proposed to a woman who he apparently doesn't even wanna marry and still wants to act like a couple with his best friend
Yeah.
Friends do stop doing that stuff so often after a certain age and relationship experiences, though. Especially, when they're not roommates, but each accostumed to having their own separate roofs, and their own separate romantic partners ("separate" in the sense that their romantic partners aren't always from the same social circle, anymore). Moreover, when its a place where there ARE spare beds for the other person to use...
It becomes kinda less frecuent to willingly share a bed with a friend (when there are spare beds) because at a certain age one starts getting prickly with their sleeping preferences, particuarly when you start really needing your quality sleep because age means you still have to get up early to go to work the next day, and will no longer be able to function without a good night's sleep) so you're no longer as tempted to be so accomodating if the friend has sleeping habits you're not used to, and which may disturb your sleep, like snoring, rolling over anf over while asleep, hogging the sheets, etc etc etc (the type of stuff you would save all your tolerance for only when it comes to a romantic partner in a steady relationship). You also become mindful of how your own sleeping habits may cause discomfort for the other person... not to mention about respecting other people's private business and space (like, always being mindful your friend may have planned to have someone over for sex, or may have been waiting for that chance to get re aquainted with their hand... or may simply NOT want to share their bed unless they absolutely have to, when there's a perfectly good extra bed just in the other room).
I mean, the older you get, the more quality sleep you need to get you through the day, and the less you're willing to sacrifice it in order to adapt to sharing a bed with other people who's not your even your romantic partner. Sad, but true...
Seems like events are forcing both the FL and ML to shift some of their attention away from their private "daily toxic dance" with each other, enough to *really* turn some of that attention on how the rest of the world is looking at them: the FL wants to hear the sister out, while the ML is starting to realize he can't possibly control all the variables in order to keep the FL safe while still beside him (...even if the attack wasn't just "bad luck", if you know what I'm saying...).
