How the fuck are you guys reading and processing writing????
For those who seem to conveniently look over important key details of this story, let me recap you, so you understand why Philomels actions are the only ones that make sense:
She was treated like trash by her father until she was 9 in this life. she was so neglected that she had servants who were beating her as "education" and not taking care of her like they should for a royal heir. they were ridiculing her in her own palace, so much so she could hear them. lazing around and stealing from her.
for 9 whole years her father gave no shits so things became like this. he talked shit about her left and right and infront of people. he called her "a thing" and looked at her like she was a roach all this time. she had to heavily mask and act insanely mature and become a whole other person and butter her way up to this mojo to slowly show a bit less hatred towards her and warm up to her. with time he got used to her, cause she literally made her life revolve around him, so how could he not?
only with her fiancé she did not have to act to much and just spent their time together doing all the work she needed to do to be able to be in good regards of the emperor and be accepted by people.
look how frivolous, childish and immature eluncia acts now that she is a princess since a handful of weeks. she is dragging her around barging into an emperors room screaming "dad" as she pleases and demanding to play games or make a former crown princess her handmaid without batting an eye. nobody is doing anything about it. the dude ain't hating her or ever being in any way harsh to her nor is anyone else. and she is 16. still a teen. BUTTTT.......
When philomela was a literal CHILD people were treating her like trash because she was BEING A CHILD and didn't act enough like an ADULT at 9. the emperor was talking smack about her so much so he did that one time where she heard him talk so harsh on purpose KNOWING (as we know now) she was hearing him through the open door. Talking about how she ain't maturing or able to do shit. and how he wants her do live like a dead rat and just fulfil her duties as an heir properly, be mature and even come close to the excellence he showed as a child (who experienced hell as it seems and still dude has no sympathy for a kid in a situation similar to his, that he created for no reason)
so please. like how do people read??. like how do you guys read????? This is called cognitive dissonance you know. And I do not understand why you would chose to go through cognitive dissonance not for a real life distressing situation but for a mere fantasy story. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I hope you ain't like this in real life. just cause someone is handsome and begs a bit and looks pitiful, you tell the victim they should reconsider and are being to harsh or something....dafuqqqqq....trauma ain;t a joke. especially as a kid. and the author did not even portray that authentically in her story enough.....just a little bit with how she fainted from extreme stress when she saw emperor come to get her and was sick for a few days and said all that stuff to his face throwing all those words that haunt her since she was 9 and ruled over her entire life since then back at him....
other notes: dude never hugged her, never kissed her, never showed any real obvious affection to her, never told her he loved her. he just got used to her presence and was comfortable with her and was looking for her when not around. a bit more intimate a relationship than he has to his aide. that is how their relationship was. kay we saw some scenes (she knows nothing about) where he was jealous when she had danced with her fiancé at debutant or what. or him picking her up when it was convenient. but that is all. look how shook she was when eluncia came and kissed this dude on the cheek. something she never even imagined doing to him, cause he is so cold and scary....even when she hugged him by accident when she was happy for getting the ring or what was it? she drew back instantly and looked at him to see if she pissed him off....that is their relationship. she never got any proper sign from him (cause he never expressed himself!!! it is on him!!!!) that he cares for her. she thought that she was successful in being someone he is happy with to inherit his throne and that is useful to him and not to bothersome to be around and that is why he rewards her with gifts etc. cause he royal and she his heir so that is custom for royals and shi. that is all this ever was. as that is all it ever seemed. to which is why she thought he wants to look for her cause he wants her dead. (it was not just cause of the book, she thought she did it all perfect so he may not look for her, then he did and she thought fuck he must still want me dead after all. nobody who thinks they are being loved thinks this way okay)
phew. I just binged this now that it marinated enough from the beginning again with better quality translations, and felt all that empathy again. then I read these bullshit comments....couldn;t keep this in....adios (〜￣△￣)〜
all is true after i finished reading, i felt like the story itself was a bit inconsistent or incoherent at times but i never thought the protagonist's actions didn't make sense. everything makes sense!!!! the emperor never treater her as his daughter and there was always a distance he never cared to try to cross!!! i do think it's weird how she just met her bio family (the mages) and they're suddenly ok with literally moving places and changing jobs just to be near her and do her favors but that's that lol. i hope the story gives that part an explanation and not just because or for the sake of the plot
Totally agree with you. I will always angry if the story just make her forgiving him easily
Right I’m like how do you expect for her to want to be his child, when when she was, he was treating her like dog shit. There’s nothing to look forward to because he treated her like she’s worthless even when he thought she was his real child. Even if we as readers see a certain point of view where he likes her… not loves her doesn’t mean that she also sees that and understands. She can only react based on the circumstances that she’s been then she lived a past life where he hated her, so why should she think any different this time? It would make no sense to feel bad for him just because he’s upset because he knows himself that he brought this on himself. This is what he gets and he knows that I don’t have no bad feelings matter fact, I hope she doesn’t forgive them for the next 20 chapters.
Damn right! I had forgotten about the storyline so I had to reread it and in my mind I thought they had a really good relationship so I was a bit sad (on my first time reading it) that Phil didn’t want to be his daughter anymore, but bro, their relationship isn’t that great either not that much of improvement since he started to notice him as his “daughter”. He was just spoiling her with things.
I am happy that the parents reconciled.
But they literally just discovered what Aiden went through. Just realised they isolated their son. The little 10 year old who was alone for all his life until he married a stranger who turned out to be his angel.
And then they decide to leave forever again and leave it all to those children. Instead of staying there to get to know him more. Spend more time with him, at least for like a few months.
Like dafuq....
FR
and they didnt even have another child together like im sorryyou both fell in love again but didnt fuck? get out
my mouth is still open wide cause of the shock that prim is betraying her. Wow. I did feel a bit odd about her, but I didn't know why. It felt like she was not really with her full heartedly. Which I thought might make sense, as she apparently only worked for her for a year. Is not that long. And then lost everything so quickly. So she must be traumatised and miss home and what she could have had for a future there.
But this was shocking...
I left this early to let it marinate and wait until FL and ML are in a proper relationship. Like when Ines gave in and loves ML and starts to heal and think of life with him. Are we anywhere close to this right now? Cause I cannot handle it if not...
Yes it's close! Healing but not healed, but still sweet! She still feels some sort of guilt/ responsibility for claiming him when they were kids
- bit spoiler-y just brief points tho
It's after a rough patch, but it kinda sets up the stage and then after her mindset starts changing, when she realizes her plans are failing. She worried for him when he got sick, dreamed abt past lives w carcel, realizing his love is kind and warm and she can't stop thinking abt him. At one point she wakes up from her dreams and has this realization. And then she shared a thing abt one of her past lives to him , abt how she used to ride horses, which she thought she would never do before (exposing personal trivial history abt herself to carcel). I'd say this starts around ch-50-60, if I rmbr correctly.
cause everyone says such good things. But the art is too ugly for me. (Personal opinion). This is so annoying. But well, what can I do. Gotta do what I gotta do. Ahh. Wish you guys all the best enjoying this story!
I understand. Tbh I also found it ugly at first. Especially because i read the promo multiple times and was disappointed that the art changed. Now I got used to it.
Maybe a novel will be a better option for you then? It is fully translated to english
I read the novel way before. That's why I stuck out to read the comic. Although It was hard at first, now im comfortable.
Where’s the novel? I’ve been trying to find it
Where can I read the novel
moonlike translations has full novel
that this is really gonna be green flag story. But the beginning of the story pisses me off so much though. I just started it.
Like why the fuck is she being apologetic and made to take responsibility for having drunk sex with him? She was tired, emotionally distressed and drunk. Dude made the first move and kissed her. Proceeded to take her to an expensive hotel and they had sex. Not many words were exchanged between them during that night it seems, according to his monologue. Why the fuck is she apologising? That is just. normal one night stand. Two adults were drunk and had sex. The one who should apologise or feel a bit more guilty is he, who made a move on a drunk, tired, emotionally low woman. He should have been the rational one to balance it out, but let his desires guide him and took the chance to fuck the woman he felt attracted to while her guard was down and her rationality out the window as she was welcoming a chance to forget reality any way possible be it alcohol or sex. She seems like she wants to forget that night and what she did with him. As in, she feels regretful. While he alone obsesses over it.
But she is made to feel guilty? Made to apologise? Made to grovel? And has to take his idiotic behaviour as a price?
Why the fuck does she have to even bother thinking about why he decided on his own as a grown man to do whatever he wants with his own time and emotions and invest them into finding and pining after her all on his own?
What the fuck is this?
I really hope to see all the green flag stuff everyone is talking about. But like, right now all I feel is annoyance and frustration.
Isn't this a story where the fl isn't gonna end good cause the Mc is some psycho mf who gonna like ruin her or smth? Or am I mistaking the cover? Like this ain’t some toxic love bull ?
The only thing toxic are fl siblings and her father probably borders on toxin. No toxic love bull though.
I just started this. Dafus is "house red dragon wheel" WHO COMES UP WITH SUCH NAMEEEEES ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
