Every once in a while, you’ll come across a work so breathtaking and gripping along with a premonition that it will haunt you for days if not weeks to come. I wasn’t wrong, and in reading the entire chapters in one sitting, I was reduced to a sobbing, sniveling mess. I had to take a break from reading other works because it was that immersive. Someone commented that this was also the crown prince’s story glimpsed through the eyes of Jean, and I’m inclined to agree to an extent. The revolution was touched on only briefly, but the focus had been solely on the prince at the final pages.
The ending just couldn’t be any other way the way it ended, yet I would sell my soul if the author could do an AU or reincarnation trope of them in modern times so they can properly experience a lifetime of joy together that they could only taste just briefly in this lifetime.
