the more i read this, the more i'm convinced that enoch is a loser or ijdk. ik ur traumatized by magicians bec of ur brother, but being written as someone saintly good but having no qualms on killing a child?? he's so blindly devoted by what he believes that i just see him dumb. what i hate most about someone is having no conviction and a backbone in what they hold dear. someone had it worst and still became the bigger person, and i know we should not base who has it worse but i just can't with the hypocrisy with how he is portrayed.
good lord, it's my first time shipping a woman with another woman but, in all aspect, there's no doubt that calla is a man than he is and will ever be. lapis is too much of a queen to be entangled with someone like HIM. if it's really a straight ship then even hector is 100x better than that emo of a man. better yet i'm fine with anyone aslong as it's not him. that creature of a manchild didn't score dude like heal urself first.
and no i don't see that manchild as pitiful as others see him. maybe on his backstory? but it's quite clear he's already so blinded and won't hear anyone else so why would i pity a man who won't even pity others?? he choose who and what he is and that's on him. lapis is not someone who should be conveniently shipped to him just because it brings that man of a child peace when he can't give that to lapis lol.
i don't think anyone can really heal under arverna's reign. and how is he even meant to heal without realizing the truth. so this is perfect timing to let his perception shatter. also funny that he just appeared out of nowhere after the party is almost over bro you're 2 whole business days late
ikr lol. but i honestly just find it absurd how a man is supposed to feel guilty for lying but not for killing a literal child. even an animal is sympathize, does he even know north and south atp? i also find it irksome having lapis herself to constantly analyze his behavior/trauma just to justify his actions. like are we deadass?? is lapis supposed to be his therapist to be tiptoeing on every interaction? like just go on a vacation and spend time on urself pls why even bother showing up ugh
Fr i felt the intense need to slap him
ugh idk both of them (fl and ml) are infuriating. i just find it ironic how the fl kept saying one thing and doing the opposite. as the story progress, i also felt like it was partly the fl’s fault why she keeps hurting because of her own one-sided expectations whereas the ml was oblivious to anything. i can even understand his indifference since they weren’t even a thing lol and didn’t know she was his mate, whereas, the fl has her own truth that the ml doesn’t accept her as a mate. in the end, both of them were just dumb in communicating yup. and girl, must i say how annoying the ml can be and his obsessive complex?? i’m even more surprised how they even worked out
the only interesting character i read here is actually the supposed to be fake empress. not gonna lie, but she has more depth and complexity compared to the fl lol
He always knew she was his mate. He hated being a Dragon and hated the destiny he was given. So he denied her and saw her as a weakness. It was only after she died and he lived with insanity for 7 years that he realized his mistake and misunderstood what he was given. I think they worked out because he never ex-edged her to fully forgive him and fully love him. He always knew the past would hurt her and be a scar on her heart. He always apologized and never expected anything in return as long as she stayed with him. She stayed with him because she eventually realized who she was and her past mistakes as well. She ended up meeting him halfway with her feelings cause she realized how truly devoted he was to her in the new life.
i don’t quite get the narrative people are trying to push through just because this is majorly the fl’s pov, but again, i don’t really think that he knew but i had to say he has his own assumption, he never confirmed. he was only sure when she died and that’s when he lost it. regardless, they were never a thing in their past life. she was never considered an official mate and he never took her as one. it’s entirely understandable to be frustrated to what happened to her, but i can’t really see to it that it was only the ml’s fault. they were both at fault for not communicating well enough and letting their rs stale enough be it personal or as a subordinate. then, come to the present life where the fl is supposed to ‘leave’ but all of her actions are opposite to what she’s been preaching. i can’t say she’s stupid but i definitely find it funny. at first, i thought she was just a complex character but then it fell through lol. but well, happy for them regardless, tho the story was quite bland and predictable.
Yeah, I think they are both to blame, I wasn’t only blaming him. Both were in the wrong. But I still stand by that he knew she was his mate, especially after she died. He just refused to accept his Dragon self and believed he didn’t need a mate. It was in his flash backs as he told her his side of the past.
