Im glad this is just a preview/ serialisation to get people to read the novel
Because the art style is kinda ass
But i for one am not really
The uncle was shunned by the royal family and was made to renounce his claim to the throne
(which was his birthright + he was a war hero )
All because the former was a r*cist against magic users
I bet if he was still alive when violet awakened her magic she would gotten a similar treatment from the royal family
I also get the uncle killing her mum
Yes she was his sister
But haven't we all read enough stories here where even that is no reason to forgive someone
Especially when that person knew what happened to you, how you were raised and outcast
So yeah i get him hating her
And hating her even more for when her daughter was born with magic she turned around and asked him to be her teacher
As if that wasn't the very thing he was mistreated for
With seemingly no guilt about that
Then there is the current king who only got the throne thx to the former king bullying the uncle into stepping down
Even tho the current king seems to be absolutely mid in comparison to everything the uncle has archived
+ The same thing with violets mum counting for him too
(Its even stated multiple times that the king adores violet)
So some might think
"Yeah but why not kill him then too?"
Because him and his wife being too old to make another heir
+ Him having to watch his son die slowly
Would def be punishment enough
Him having to watch his son the heir of a crown , He only inherit because his older brother was robbed off His birthright,
Be robbed of his crown himself
Is somewhat poetic in a way
So yeah i get the uncle holding grudges for more that half his life ive been mad at other for less lol
just a little thing, olivia isn't the duke's sister, i think. He is the king's brother, as far I know. (olivia would be his sister in law)
Yes, Olivia was the Duke's sister, and yes his younger brother is the current king (there was the flashback chapter where the "king" said he had two boys and a girl and the Duke was watching from afar). Not only that, they keep showing the family tree in several chapters.
Adding to this, it doesn't seem like it was a burning hatred for the sister and I'm on board with that. He himself said it was an "experiment." He wanted to make sure it would work without detection and it did, except the one person who he DIDN'T want to notice, noticed.
He doesn't necessarily need to hate his sister with a burning passion, despite what people might think. Some resentment, mixed with the clinical efficiency of a scientist, is all that's needed to cause tragedy.
I personally love this concept for the uncle. He's been to war, he's a strategist. It makes sense for him to be a bit more detached in his revenge. Having him truly hate those on the throne and simply resent others, with a more clinical approach to trying to destroy them, feels like a subtle twist on a typical cliche.
How this is a otome game isekai but we all totally forgot about the og otome game ml aka the crown prince because he literally doesn't matter lol
So eve is left alone with all of this just starting self doubt and depression
, then ml comes back but only calls eve 14days after his return to see him
He gives him a bangel / bracelet and leaves again
Eve finds documents about engagement talk
That + all the talk from the servants
(about why ml would marry the enemy and territory wars loser)
+ all ready being depressed about everything+ the lady in waiting being on vacation+ winter coming and eve cant read in the garden no more
= makes for an insanely strong depression cocktail
Ml is wondering why he hasn't seen eve in days and tells the servants that they be meeting in two days in the bridal chamber
Eve comes that evening to Ml and asks him to behead him or look him up in the tower dungeon as that the engagement talks with the duke are almost done eve has become obsolete
Ml gets mad at that (and i got mad at him for that lol)
Eve said since their marriage is white it can still be annulled
Ml makes a move at eve one thing goes to another and they kiss and the spend the night together (ch 23)
In the morning eve tries to talk about how they can still act like this didn't happen and call the marriage off and ml explains that eve has nothing to do with the engagement since its his son thats gonna marry
(lol he literally says something like " you didn't give me an opportunity to explain, you just talked about beheading)
Ml says that despite the circumstances that bought eve her he hope to make eve happy and says thats why he didn't sleep with him sooner because he didn't want to pressure him or make him uncomfortable
But since it happened now he hopes eve wont reject him in the future and they kiss again
Ok i read all the raws that are out right now

After they made up cerdics son comes to visit with the prince thats wasnt planned the prince just decided to drop by Eve is at first nervous about that due to the whole situation about Eve being there and stuff but just like his dad he is super chill about that and friendly
Since his engagement with the dukes second daughter has been decided on Cedric said he should plan the banquet to welcome the prince in the castle since he is an adult now
He does a super good job and Eve ( who isnt good with crowds and usually cant handel banquets well) leaves the venue for a short while and spirals a bit about how he cant do much and knows much
While that happens some stranger in a coat talks to him and eve is uncomfortable and leads him back to the banquet (dude introduces himself as an official from the place the prince was actually supposed to visit)
Cedric finds eve and dude vanish and they talk eve talks about his insecurities about how he cant give anything to ml and ml says all he wants is eve to be by his side happy
The last ch31 out right now has eve at a market fair with his lady in waiting
Ch 30 also as an extra that states the ages
Cedric is 33
Eve is 31 ( is paper have been changed he is actually 34)
Cedric son is 15
Cedric former wife died 4 ~ 5 years ago they got married when he was 17
Thank you so much! I wondered about the raws!
Hahaaha thanks for the spoiler! Depression no longer for meヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
15? So they considered 15 as an adult back in the day. Σ( ￣□￣||)
Lmao yeah seems so they (his dad) did make eve younger on paper too
I cant believe how fast i got disgusted by him the moment i realised that girl is his child bride
And the misunderstanding started :
Thats either his sister or a lesbian or both
What's he doing in here?
Honestly that whole interaction felt like the authors self insert fanfic only the " and everyone clapped" was missing
I feel ragebaited with first having her be the dukes fiancee and now not like omg i totally jumped the gun there lmao im so glad they got that sorted out but still mad at the consort (?) for even suggesting this freaking sick in the head for that fr
