This kingdom the MC was born to is messed up. But that's the way the world in this story is set. Trash father who forces his children to kill their siblings, just as his father made him. Abuse is a cycle that needs to stop.
And then everyone liking her just because she's cute. While the art is nice so every character is cute, its simplicity in that regard is annoying. However, I read a lot of comments who are upset that even the father is starting to show favoritism. And you do see it all the time- parent has a favorite child because they are pretty or smart or in this case super powerful. I think the favorability that is starting towards our MC from the father is realistic. He isn't outright nice to her, barely remembers her name, dropped her in a chair roughly, and only saved her because she had no 'sword' with her. Anyone can argue that last statement wouldn't matter, that he'd have saved her anyways but he could just as easily let her be. It's an 'IF...' argument that can't be proven. What we know is what happened.
Now on to the crying foul with our MC getting away with things. He didn't like her asking to go to the party with him, he didn't like that she grabbed his clothes. All the actions she is doing is something none of the other children have ever tried in fear of being killed. Or who don't act that way because he is a trash father so they don't feel the need to be like that with him. She's mentally an adult, so she's pushing boundaries and trying to see how much she can deceive. So like a spoiled child demanded to be held.
The emperor, have no child before demand something of him, curiously chose to indulge. He too is feeling out this child who refuses to look at him with fear, or cry when in pain. Who is now known to have great magical powers. For now she's a curiosity of great potential. The fact he even chucked at the memory of her pluckyness was probably the first time a trashy father who killed his siblings has ever reminisced. He, much like her old witch self, has never recieved/understood love.
I feel his eventual sense of favoritism for her will stem from her great mage abilities, and as he shows more interest will actually slowly begin to see and enjoy her as a person. And hopefully will end the cycle of abuse for all his children and call off the fighting for succession.
I hope he will learn to love all his children, but at least so far the way they are portraying his demeanor (not instant love due to cuteness like everyone else) towards her seems appropriate. I hope they continue this, and not just have him wrapped around her finger asap.
I thought Walter was her grandson that was left in her care due to her son and daughter-in-law's stupid fight.
I was unconsciously shipping them together until that clarification that he's the son and much older. I say unconsciously because the minute I found out I thought "eww, nope." And realised I was seeing him as a potential ML.
Thank you doctor lolz
I know it's probably a cat or a dog, but I really want it to be a ferret. Since ferrets are known to steal things... It's more likely to be a dog or cat, or some kind of bird that's collecting things for it's nest...
Oh the stealing part, totally- Though he did seem genuinely confused when the whole "People's stuff is going missing" started (He wasn't even inside the castle when it started). Also, it's happened before a long time ago according to one of the maids, hence the ghost blame-age. Could very well be him and the author is purposely making it look impossible. Though he is currently using that maid for information-
I'm sure the "intruder" and the person who stole the items aren't the same person/thing. But if they are I would want it to be a ferret. lol
Best portrayal of that awkward&embarrassing emotional turmoil of the first time telling the object of your love that you have such strong wants of a sexual nature with them. This totally was innocent and totally accurate of how the events of "What am I feeling", "Denial of feeling", "Accepting but What to do next", "Must tell but scared to tell", "Find best way and right time", only to randomly somehow find yourself speaking but can't take it back so you're shaking and your mind is screaming and begging that you make sense but also that they accept your feelings and don't think its "bad" but also they reciprocate.
So much baited breath when reading that scene. My heart is still pumping!!
Someone posted a link to the raws up to chapter 7. But this has 4 VOLUMES! Now I'm debating if I should buy the books from Japan and possibly translate myself... but I hate splicing manga to scan it nicely :(
Plus my Japanese is rudimentary.

So I actually looked into the Scanlation Group (Endless Journey) to see what was up with this series. (uploader to Uploader Curtesy) They actually have not dropped it, and have translated content waiting in the wings. The Problem is the main sight they upload to (MangaDex) has been down since the last update of this series in 2020. Other scanlation groups have chosen to make their own website for releases, but has of right now Endless Journey does not have their own Website and currently have no plans to do so. Their current plan is to wait for MangaDex to come back online.
(I've written this out once, Hopefully it actually posts this time)
So I actually looked into the Scanlation Group (Endless Journey) To see what was up with this series. (Its a understood curtesy rule among translators/uploaders). They actually have not dropped it and actually have ready to upload content. The problem lies in that the place they Upload to (Manga Dex) has been offline since the last update. The scanlation group at this time does not plan to (as other groups have) make their own website to release their chapters or find a new site to upload to, and have instead decided to wait until site is back up. They are still working on titles, just not uploading.

Just so you know the site they normally upload to is now running and accepting uploads so expect chapters by them soon :)










What happened to my sweet fluffy romance that only had a simple evil vampire as the antagonist and the witch finally gets to love and be all flirty together.
Where tf did that story go? I'M UNBELIEVABLY UPSET AT THE WAY IT'S NOSEDIVED INTO SUCH EVIL AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO CONTINUE. Like I probably will, but seriously would be hitting the dislike button like mad.
