At this rate, as much as i hate that guy who locked his brother out of his “secret” crush for him, i still prefer him over the ML. It sucks man, having to root for someone i genuinely hate just because this ML is such a total flop (︶︿︶)=凸
Oh wait no they are together, like they’re romantic partners but i meant that theres was no content of that in the novel. When & how they became partners is a mystery but we only get a lil snippet of their relationship in a small side story where taeui was sick and rahman sent over a bunch of herbs so hed get better because yk how if taeui got sick jaeui would too? Yeah basically jaeui would get sicker than taeui and it prevented them from doing intimate stuff i guess so now its a thing where rahman has to make sure taeui is completely healthy to ensure jaeuis health too lol. But thats like the only thing abt them i guess
Ahh yeah, it was so obvious from the beginning ( ̄∇ ̄") It was weird how he didn’t even seem that interested in his genius brother’s work, but cared more about having his brother stay by his side instead lol. He even went back on his word about letting him go if he finally decided to work on something for him, but in the end, he just couldn’t bring himself to let his brother go lol. From the moment he entered the picture and was so unusually friendly with his brother, it was already so obvious that he had some kind of affection for him. Like, otherwise, what else would’ve made him so determined to keep his brother confined to his side like that? :v
Both Riftan's reaction and Maxi's decision are completely understandable. I can't blame either of them.
Yeah, in the end, they're both just afraid of losing each other and are trying to protect one another in their own way.
Maxi can't accept Riftan's decision because she's terrified of putting Riftan and Anatol in danger. And so is Riftan. He's just as afraid of losing his precious wife—to the point that he couldn't care less about anything else, even if it meant going to war against the nobility or even the Crown.
And unfortunately, neither of them are capable of, well, any communication at all, never the less honest communication. And their stubbornness regarding the other, the desire to protect and not lose regardless of the others wishes, means that even if they started to learn how to communicate, the other party wouldn't listen.
The main reason I keep following this story is because of how funny it is that Riften and Maxi are extremely similar









Instant rejection LOLOLOLOLL
