i absolutely adored this chapter and let me tell you why. so usually with your typical misunderstanding troupe once a character finds out they’ve been lied to they start to distance themselves and lack trust in the other person (valid) and after that in comes the chasing arc which is usually called for but for me it’s a hard read. in off track the ml figures out he’s been lied to and his trust wavers which is normal but what i love is that despite the mcs dishonesty the ml is able sympathize with him and try to understand why he did what he did. he recognizes that the mc is a very good and pure person and had no malicious intent but simply did what he thought he had to. i love emotionally intelligent characters bcs instead of pushing the mc away when he knows he’s head over heels for him he draws him even closer in order to understand him better and to keep their relationship. he knows how absolutely pure the mcs intentions are and can understand that even though he’s keeping secrets and lying it’s what he thinks he has to do in order to protect their relationship. i love them sorry for the yap
i read this so long ago and i really really enjoyed it so i was like im gonna read it again
BUT
as i was rereading it i got to the PLOT TWIST and my mind was actually blown bcs i was so sure i finished it but i didn’t and that made the plot twist even more insane for me ts is so good might be top 5 bls ngl







why is everyone so mad at ain rn?? im not sure but i feel like he’s the dukes brother but also an illegitimate child and thats why he’s acting that way and sending mixed signals cuz he himself is falling for the mc when he’s not supposed to. i thought everyone would be thinking the same but ig not? and if he is the duke istg im dropping this (i won’t ain it too damn fine)
he is most likely gonna be the lord unfortunately…
Don’t read if spoiler aren’t what you’re asking for! Everyone else knows as that’s why they are mad
—-
Because Ain is Ian - he isn’t a brother, he is the lord and is messing with michele to “corrupt him” because Michele’s dad r***ed him as a boy
aaaaaaaaaa shoot me now i can’t do this anymore
