the male proportions have been getting a little weird with the last couple of chapters... look at Lu in that last panel of him (shoulders so wide his head looks small) or Asiel in the scene where they were at the table with the emperor, his arms looked too long
I don't know if they're actually dead or if she gave them the same medicine Shi Sui took when she escaped the palace (the fake death drug)
The way they managed to make both their suffering and on Heiner's part his harm happen and then still make us want the happy ending for them both (whether together or separate) really shows the incredible writing behind this. Just really really good, peak
Am I stupid like was this heavily hinted at before or is this a new reveal for everyone LOL I feel like maybe I missed something
You can feel the undertones of his crush on her in their earlier interactions like when Penelope is talking to other men like the Prince and Eckles he gets aggro (probably cause he's jealous) also the scene with the pink bird.
A majority of him acting like a bitch is because of how he acts because he doesn't realize he has a crush on her.
Yeah I recalled that a bit but I guess I never looked at it in that angle, bc he was so hateful I just assumed he was someone who wasn't able to get past not disliking her anymore and treating her normally
