Something about this is very tedious. I can't put my finger on it but maybe because she continues to play the cute airhead and pouts too much instead of dismissing her parent's infantalization of her, my opinion of her is...well, not good.
I wish there were more panels of her being cunning, and obviously strategizing. She tells us that this ditzy act is part of her play to lull the bad guys and that she has actually become a very conniving, devious person but the problem is she does NOT show it.
Ch. 7 breaks this mould...slightly...aaaand she goes back to being meek again after being so daring. Frustrating.
FL's father is boring and stupid. Hopefully he grows up and FL doesn't have to raise her own father into a competent man as well as her future lover. That's just too much.
Eew. Okay, I get it now. I vastly prefer the cold, arrogant Duke of the North types if that means I never have to read about this weak, pathetic kind of ML
who gets pushed around by lower nobility and doesn't say anything?
It's not just a self confidence issue. These ratty women are doing this at an official imperial function. Forget his own, personal circumstances, but this dude doesn't even try to maintain royal dignity. Instead of logically, verbally cutting them to pieces for disrespecting someone of royal blood he just walks away with his head down?
If anyone comes at him, he could have easily said, "what? You're going to let these nobodies talk about us like this? Are you saying we should allow that because I'm not favored?"
No wonder he's not respected and is an embarrassment to the royal family.
🙄😒
Yep. Dropped at ch. 11.
