Man… kinda disappointed Javier’s reaction is too mild compared to his vow to protect his master. Also I thought the author is going to use the +1 life card lloyd received from the dragon king, didn’t expect butt shaped heart is going to save the day lol.
But i still like the pacing since the Queen’s corrupted hand plot isn’t dragged too far into the plot.
Hyun jae’s shocked face shows a hit of jealousy especially the panel when his eyes were covered with shadows.
And no it’s not the BL jealousy but more akin to how jealous he is to HYJ relationship with his brother. He’s like “is this what it looks like when someone actually worries about you?”
He lowkey looks hurt ngl. Thank god this artist pick up this story, the facial expression is A+++++
Though manhwa often omit a lot of details but this artist manages to capture the characters feeling so well ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
right?????? especially considering his backstory and the fact he didn't have much of a childhood or an actual caretaker figure. and i feel bad because his first real interaction with one is yoojin, who is very much an exception to the rule. like, he navigates part of his life in overflowing power where he doesn't need anything or anyone, just fluctuating between boredom and cynicism, and now he knows that there are people out there who'd put their much less powerful existence on the line and literally turn back in time just for the person they love despite not even being strong enough to take the backlash. it's kinda like hyunjae realizes that he doesn't really has anyone that would do that for him. i like this buildup specially because it makes what happens later between them so much more meaningful.
sorry for ranting under your comment, op!!!!!
Y’know… as fkd up as the ML is, at least their intercourse has actual consent in it can’t believe the bar is this low. But i like this author, when i want a tyrant THIS is the tyrant im seeking. Not the always “im misunderstood and have sob story” kind of tyrant but The bashit crazy tyrant one who made me the reader on edge as well (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ waku waku. Waku waku.
P.s. : the paladin is freaking hot! Holey shet
I went into the spoiler forum rabbit hole and dug out some juicy information. Read at your own discretion. Ofc heavy with spoiler :
“ Hyunjae give him flower, gift and sweets like he is courting him, Hyunjae expressed his possessiveness of Yujin versus a previous younger version of himself, they slept in the same bed one time and fooled around while reading a letter (on a bed) another time, when Hyunjae ignored him Yujin acted like an angry girlfriend and kept sending him texts over the phone till he decided to bomb his guild, Yujin put lip stick on Hyunjae lips (do you think someone else can even do that without consequences?), Hyunjae prepared a pink jet to mellow Yujin mood for when he would kidnapp him, they have much physical contact like carrying him and hug him, Hyunjae was totally in bad mood the time Yujin was brainwashed and refused him, Hyunjae called Yujin his "Cinderella", they role played with each other a lot (like the audition in Hon Kong), Hyunjae that view himself above others promoted Yujin from being a "item" to his "partner", when Yujin denied his crush on Chloe saying he was just a fan Hyunjae replied he was Yujin's fan, Hyunjae got jealous when Yujin admired Song Taewon naked muscled body, even dungeon Yujin got weirded about the close behaviour between his future self and Hyunjae, when Song Taewon tried to prank Yujin by saying who married who in the 5 years pre-regression Yujin believed him till he said Hyunjae married Evelyn and Yujin denied him "impossible", the sexual undertone you feel in Hyunjae's dark thought when he went all out to fight Yujin while the later was possessed by Crescent Moon, in a exchange for a SS class item Hyunjae asked Yujin a date in the aquarium, when Yujin made Hyunjae angry he promised to buy him an ice-cream in their future date at the aquarium, like a yandere Hyunjae got Yujin rubbish in his hidden space as a treasure, when Hyunjae betrayed him Yujin got drunk for the pain but still said after he would get Hyunjae back and Hyunjae couldn't restrain the feelings on his face "I feel like I'm going crazy", when Hyunjae saw Chatterbox mark on Yujin he felt possessive, when Hyunjae hurt himself during training he was satisfied that Yujin cared about his injuries, the sexual tension and trill over a power play they did in a party organized by Yujin where they spilled wine on each others, Hyunjae took advantage they were in the same bike to hug Yujin tightly, the same day Yujin took advantage of Hyunjae unconscious status to feel his facial skin, Hyunjae like to watch Yujin sleeping face, Hyunjae only feel the will to live because Yujin thus he want to feel everything possible with him, they have a child together that look like Hyunjae (Han Gyeol) and Hyunjae got a profecy by the white bird that only Yujin can give him what he really desire. There are many occasions where Hyunjae also behaved like a whipped boyfriend like for example buying him coffee, making him breakfast or opening him a can of beer LOL”

Why he’s so particular about the earrings? Last time i remember he just gave it to MC after he got kidnapped. That line seems like that earring has significant value to him.
Gay baiting for sure… Also i just came from spoiler forum turns out pink is MC fav colour.. no wonder the earring is pink.
Later they also have a lot of questionable moments, some of it where they messing around on bed (not r18) , spike eacth other drinks , hyunjae (taking advantage) hugging MC’s back tightly on a bicycle ride, whem both of them were drunk MC feel Hyunjae face and said he likes it(?)… Also Hyumjae will give MC pink sweater lmao
Lol, here’s the receipts. Enjoyy~ (caution heavy spoiler)

“I'm also raising your child. You came rescuing me when I was captured by a dragon, and we did something close to a dance. You bet an eye and arm on me, and we participated in an auction together. You were the guest, and I was the product. The eggs were half-cooked.”
“Are you saying nonsense?”
I fucking lock these twoლ(´ڡ`ლ)
“Give me your body”

I had to pause and reread if im reading what i think it is. The fact the convo afterwards is much worser than this makes my jaw dropped.
