I think the whole plot is a case of MC pov bias. Never once in her memory showed that Cyrus stabbed her, therefore killing her. She only remembered his bloody sword, and her dying.
It may be possible that someone else stabbed her but somehow, MC only remembered Cyrus and his bloody sword and inferred he killed her, without realizing perhaps it was someone else.
Cyrus is a goner, we can all agree. And perhaps he made a wish to his sword to turn back time and make things right.
This is a mere speculation tho, yours truly has read too much time reversal shit ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭









I get that he loves his mistress, and that Lucian is probably a child he never wanted in the arranged marriage... The late duchess was a victim too, damn his fragile victim ego
To send a 6yo to subjugate monsters... bro needs a special place in hell (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
The king is unreasonable and desperate to send a 6yo to battle. But I'm glad that he complied with FL's conditions
Marquis ML is the only green flag with a good head on his shoulders smh
