yk how long he probably had those other concubines in the palace? nobody wanted to associate themselves with him until he was paying attention to one of them. jeez, the emperor can’t even love nobody in peace. one day after he lost his virginity, the daughters’ fathers are asking for him to make babies with them. ヽ(`Д´)ノ
no bc why would she think that arsene’s gonna murk her family? if he rly didn’t like you, he would have did it before u even met the emperor for a favor. like, there’s no signs that this man is a bad person and he’s treating her well so far. i understand that she’s in a novel but a book can only tell you sm about a character. she has the real thing in front of her, she could actually get to know him if she wanted to.
and pls fix that lady’s eyebrows, everybody got regular eyebrows but her
Well given she witnessed him murder someone…
People can have two faces so it’s rather justified.
The things that annoy me about her as a character are: eyebrows, and ambiguous healing abilities that she has without any pretext, AND ALSO that her hair stayed intact after her head was cut off.
I hate inconsistencies.
Yeah but... why tf would she think trusting the one who orders the killings her fiance makes safer that trusting said fiance? Both of them made it very clear he was only doing his job... and the moment he supposedly kills her already passed...
The eyebrows... that perpetual wet puppy face makes me unable to like her... and her dumbness... in many ways... frolicking about when she knows she has a target on her back, getting in a boat with a sus dude, thinking is a good idea to sell holy water even when she was told how dangerous having that kind of power is... just... is been a while since I've seen 1 char making so mant bad decisions... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Also... I must say, I agree with blond friend that going on a boat with a stranger is stupid af... but boy her friends are annoying... obsessed much? At the same time I feel they must have been troubled a loc cuz of her cuz she acts like she'd follow a uncle with a long coat into a white van cuz he offered her candies... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
i was just saying that if he really was a bad person, he would have done the things she has feared already. except blackmailing her to be his wife (for obvious reasons), he has done nothing drastic to her other than witnessing her head getting chopped off in front of him.
i get that she’s scared, i do. but he’s not restricting any part of her life. she can still see her friends and family, and she can still go out to social gatherings and do other stuff whenever she wants. her interpretation of arsene is from a novel that’s already set in stone. her opinion of him was already preconceived, and the plot has already changed too. if anything, he’s not going to let what happened to her happen again.
it’s not even favoritism. if balzac kept his ass quiet and left tia alone, then this wouldn’t have happened. when will he learn that actions have consequences?
i felt for astelieu, but now he knows that it’s not good to be a bystander and to speak tf up. he has potential to be a good person. hope he apologizes too bc balzac def won’t do it.








she need to understand that she can’t change her son, or her husband. the history with the family and the kingdom itself runs much deeper than “I can change him.”
I understand she’s upset, but she don’t even know what happened. I’m glad she found out the truth, now she can stop being naive.
