How Cecil is forcing his eyes and mouth upward to the point it looks painful.
How sinister his smile looks, to the point that you can tell it's fake.
I think this is the first time we've even seen Cecil's eyes pitch black.
I love it, love love love this!!!! God, this author is a master at drawing expressions!!!

Oh he missed his wife....Ohhhhhhh he really, really missed his wiffeeeeee
They make me so siiicckkkkkk ╥﹏╥
Ughhh, such an empowering scene for women, really want to read more stories of women getting inspired by other women to follow their dreams!!
This is not a clean-cut love story. Nor is it a story completely about divorce. It's about redemption. The ML was an asshole, and the FL's father wasn't the best, but they're working to be better. Rosa (FL) only knows one side of the story from her side with her Dad, while we watch things change afterwards.
Give the ML some time. He does deserve the animosity towards him, but he is actively trying to become better thanks to Rosa and her father. Especially because of the latest bunch of chapters (ch. 20 - 25), I'm starting to respect him more.
As for the father, he is my favorite character in the story. It's tragic and heartwrenching, but really good, I promise.
Overall, I like the direction the story's going. I'll repeat this: This is a redemption story. Don't go into this rooting for everyone's downfall, but hope they will do better. (I'm still rooting for Rosa to get a chance with her crush, though!)
I DESPISE STEP-SIBLING OR RELATIVE LOVE INTERESTS! THE FEM MC HAD THE MOST RELATABLE, AND HONESTLY CORRECT REPONSE TO LEARNING YOUR BROTHER SEES YOU AS A WOMAN AND NOT HIS SISTER OH MY GOD!!!!!
You have no idea how often I've read trashy shoujo that have the sibling as a romance option for the Fem Mc. I HATE IT! The fact that this is one of the few times I've seen the MC actively show fear/sadness/rage at her own brother for his feelings is so upsetting omg.
I don't care if they're pretty, I don't care if they're your type. Dating someone who is related to you in any way, shape, or form is disgusting. It's fine if you like the brother for yourself, you're not the sister, do as you like. But if you are actively shipping siblings/step-siblings together, you are gross. The past had to deal with that problem, and the modern day shouldn't. I can't stand seeing it portrayed in a positive or interesting light in any way, shape, or form. Step-sibling romance through marriage is gross; you're still siblings, end of sentence. It's so obvious to me that anyone who likes this trope has never had a sibling or is from Alabama.
Imagine growing up with someone all your life, spending your time around them 24/7. Through all the awkward phases, bickering, etc. It's not sunshine and rainbows; hell, sometimes you'll feel like choking them out. But overall, you have a bond that no one will have, one where you don't gotta put up a guard or mask because there's no point, they've seen all the ugly stuff already! And then you find out that your sibling likes you, not as family but as a real crush. Then what does that say for all the awkward moments? Those times you had to share a room? Those times you walked in on each other? Were they perving on you the entire time? Did you ever have true privacy in your own house? Were you ever truly safe in your own room???
I just can't stand it, as someone with multiple sliblings its a trope I truly despise with my whole being.
Sorry for the long rant, just felt I had to get this out sooner or later, and I'm here just celebrating the MC's disgust over this damn trope fr.

I've noticed for a while now that, since the topmost post, no one else has commented on what's going on with Ebony. Welp, to those who find this, shits going crazy on the political side! I'll be mentioning everything I can remember/significant and separate it between a couple of characters since a lot is going on at once. Hope you enjoy!
Ebony getting a body double for Raven was something I've been hoping for! Like seriously, the Nobles' gambling den can get reaalllyyyy crazy. Having someone to fill in for her and help cover her tracks makes fucking with her enemies hilarious!
From the latest chapter (ch.187 as of this comment), I genuinely didn't expect the Chief Justice, Daphne's father, the bastard with the most unique design out of all the characters, to offer to step down from his position if the Grand Duke helps the Crown Prince win over the Neutral Party. Is it that serious, I fear. (And ofc the Dukes that are serious about Ebony wtf made you think otherwise???????? Dumbass smh)
I loooooove seeing Reginald get fucked with. 1) Because fuck him ong. 2) Because characters like him, the ones who hide behind their smile, covering their tracks to near perfection, are sooooo fun to break. I am genuinely concerned about him and Daphne's relationship, though, in the sense that he might be starting to become more interested in her, which is bad. Very bad. Stay away, you disgusting, disgusting man. She already has to deal with a stalker of a guard officer, she doesn't need any other trouble frfr.
Why did I just realize my mistake? I MEANT DEFINITELY NOT DEFIANTLY!!!!!
Stuff happens, but the manga does a lot of talking about all the drama instead of showing it, except for the MC's involvement, which is always the beginning. They did nip any drama or trouble in the bud really quickly, like next chapter everything resolved, but after flipping through pages of panels where it's everyone sitting at a table and talking about it, you can guess how annoying it can become. It was fine at first, but I'd like to see the MC do stuff and see her use her magic once in a while outside of convenient magic usage.
Art style is really good, so it feels like a waste to put it with a story this boring. I really don't recommend reading it except for an art style study if it's to your fancy.
Overall 2.5/10 don't recommend
