I'm waiting for them to actually apologize to Penelope. I get that "tsundere attitude" but honestly? Fuck that. She put them in on the spot for all the shit they put her through and the older brother just mocks her? Haha bastard, like you didn't see her as trash a couple of days ago? And Pinkie is "trying" along with the dad but I'd prefer them owning up to their mistakes. Good thing she doesn't fully trust them
The royal family killing his lover/wife so the princess could play house? shit, imagine your SO getting killed, just as you started a family with them, because a royal dipshit wants you all to themselves. Then having them take on the role of your child's parent. Cynical bitch holy shit. I mean, the FL dad's abusing an innocent child that didn't ask to be born is horrible and fuck him...but I can understand why he wants to get rid of the bloodline all together.
Sorry but I don't think that's what happened his wife was killed together with her family after a undisclosed scandal/crime occurred
He them seduced the princess to marry her and kill the late emperor and the princess and place his son as a heir to the empire
Apparently she was genuinely in love with him and treated his son as her own
I don't believe the royal family was innocent, they hold so much power over people it's laughable. Just seeing how the emperor referred to the son says a lot about their relationship.
It doesn't matter how much the princess loved the guy, her family killed his lover. Do you think the royal family trusted an outsider so much that they let him marry into them after getting his SO killed? Maybe she didn't know why she died and truly wanted to help him but her father did know and let him in. Why would he put her daughter in danger by allowing her to marry a dude that'll probably try to murder her in her sleep.
Again, the only that's truly innocent is the FL, fuck the rest of them.
I love how we are both hating him and rooting for him at the same time.
But srsly I'm waiting for the corny chapter about his childhood when he was denied candy and that's why he turned out to be that way lmao
