I'm still not very happy about Hesha and Jolene severely underpaying the villagers (I hope they eventually find out and negotiate fair wages), but at least the colonialism vibes are mostly gone now.

They're not colonizing brown people, they're just being filthy capitalists!

The thing there is, they'd be getting underpaid if they were working/living in the country their employers operate from, but they aren't. And based on their own country's wages and cost of living they'll be paid pretty well it seems.

It's absolutely still capitalist chicanery but then again, I don't think there's any place in the world that does this kinda thing any differently? And that's comparing our modern world economics to feudalism, which is a whole 'nother beast xD

i'm being deadass i was scrolling through recently updated scans & this title popped up & i just got into it because i like both akuyaku reijou & yandere & i expected it to be toxic until the end but oh my GOD this is good too this is so good. the art gets better, the story gets better, & while yandere isnt really present i still adore jolene's character & her relationship with hesha is genuinely so admirable & developmental i find myself at the end of most chapters drooling over my screen wishing for a romance like this to happen to me one day. it had me hooked to my phone for a full afternoon & evening from my bus commute to my dinner table please bro it is SERIOUSLY that good omfg. maybe its because i finished it like 3 minutes ago that im gushing all over it but i seriously feel as though my eyes have been OPENED because the character growth is so impeccable & even if the leads arent toxic (anymore) there is STILL a lot of good shit happening with the other side characters that also keep me interested in their own story. weirdly enough hesha & jolene remind me of my own interpretation of another ship i really enjoy

thanks everyone, thanks to the artists & writers & scanlators you guys seriously made my evening with this manhua it's genuinely amazing holy shit

Hopefully Diana breaks and burns it all down so she can at least be hot about it

There's still time for Kelly to join Hesha and Jolene in a polycule...

I really like the princess, she's easily the most extreme of the villainess archetype out of the three. Poor Kelly lol

Kelly deserves better. I hope they don't end up together.

Welp

So Kelly's not even the first woman Diana's tried to coerce/force into being a consort to her? And while it's in her interest as a princess of Mulai to ensure her kingdom gets the best deal out of any foreign diplomatic venture, it is telling that she would be so cold to Hesha (though I believe she's heard Kelly mention Hesha before so that....would explain her behavior, on a more personally petty level I guess).

Still, methinks someone needs some correction~*~

Lmao Diana has a type

Can't help but hope Adela might rescue Kelly from Diana. Especially since Adela already has experience running away from that family.

I can't help but notice that Adela didn't have a scar across her nose bridge when she was younger. Now, who do we know among the cast who enjoys scarring the girls she likes for life?..

I think a good chunk of humanity has a weakness for that "type". ^_^

That would be for the best. Even if Adela and Kelly don't end up dating, solidarity among the abused and the oppressed is a beautiful value in itself.

She doesn't have the scar across her face in chapter 82 when she fled Mulai & her abusive fiance, so I'm thinking the scar is just for the "oh this exiled princess is now a rough'n'tumble outlaw lady" aesthetic.

Oh my god this isn't even the first time Diana has wanted a girl in a suit, she's so gay (and evil) lol

Okay, Kelly, I think it's time to assimilate to Mulai's culture. By which I mean, stab your abuser in the chest and get the fuck out of there!...
