I'm sorry but this whole chapter took me out of enjoying the series. It was TOO "empowering women" without basis. Don't get me wrong, I love empowered women but it has to make sense. Acting like her father won't hunt her down and drag her back after she's "independent" is insane. There's no change to the laws or how the kingdom has been run for likely hundred of years now. Her doing art in private doesn't change anything. She's just doing it in a dangerous setting now, instead of the safety of her home (near that lake, on her father's property). She's still hiding it, she isn't independent, and her father still opposes it.
Then you're telling me that she knowingly is in this dangerous area and sends away the mercenaries SHE hired? For what reason? Makes zero sense. And when they run into robbers, her bright idea is to bite the guy? In a normal scenario, instead of "getting away" that would just escalate the situation and then they'd BOTH be in danger. Why didn't the other guys grab her now that she was closer? Again, doesn't make sense.
The whole chapter annoyed me. I was able to turn off my brain for most of this story but not this chapter.
I hate, hate, hate this stupid trope. You also remember your previous life. And you're sitting here, asking her what she thinks happened after she died? She DIED. She wouldn't know. And then you proceed to BLAME HER for not knowing anything. This is BS. He has full ability to tell her what happened but instead plays the stupid game of, "The future is changing and it's all your fault!"
Also, also. If you want a better outcome for the future, take an active effort. Don't give me this BS of, "Oh they made a promise not to get involved with other houses!" THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE??? LEAVE. If you're not going to interfere, don't make any effort at all.
Evergreen is 1000% at fault for anything that happens in the future. Unless that stupid god Vincente or whatever his name is sealed his mouth shut himself, he has zero excuses. He's just making a huge mess of things. Fuck him. I officially hate this character now and nothing can redeem him.
