Ngl kinda disappointed the plain looking one (Eric, black hair) is the ML, Serinth (Blue hair) & prince? (Tan skin with blond hair) are so much better looking. I really like Serinth he's so cute Since Serinth isn't the ML please tell me they just have a platonic friendship only and he doesn't catch any feelings later on?
Yes and I also really hope he doesn't fall in love with her or catch feelings because I don't want see him get hurt
Ok it looks like other nobles are suspecting the death of the late queen. And considering putting our MC to the throne, but it wont be easy
ML and FL can pass as siblings. I’m not gonna ask for the tan prince cause that would complicate her path to being the ruler. But i was hoping for a ML that looks very different from the FL, thankfully romance is only a side plot here
i also really like serin more! i wish he were the ML but unfortunately it's unlikely for his kind of character to be one
What happend to her siblings, the bad ones? And the queen? Spoilers on what happend to the half siblings and the queen please,
I've read up until volume 8 where the main story ends. Vol 9 - 11 seem to be side stories. The main plot and story is amazing, will make you cry and laugh. My heart raced at some of the action scenes. But I agree with the reviewers the romance was a huge disappointment. Even Sarah and Gaston were written way better. Sorry I'm not spoiling the whole story but there's so much to cover. You can ask if any questions. Spoiler: Potential MLs and romance Prince Reiman - second fave but impossible because he's the crown prince of the other empire. Serinth - Blue haired. My fave. I thought they were very compatible actually. Eric - Black haired Duke's son. The ML but tbh the love seemed one sided and I think his abrasive and blunt personality is not compatible Although the author showed the three of them being in love with Marianne/Yurishina, the actual romance with Eric was sooo rushed. Yurisina realises her feelings suddenly in one scene, next they kiss and then the wedding. I had whiplash. Up until the end there was a chance she would even be with Serith because even though all three confessed she wasn't that interested in any of them. The reason why I preferred Serinth because he's more empathetic and able to be flexible with Marianne who's a demon. He comforted her and wished for her happiness. Eric was just kinda rough and possessive. He kept grabbing her and just abruptly asked her to turn down the proposal when Reiman proposed... I even preferred her to be with Lucifer (a character that would appear later) than Eric. But anyway other than the romance the story is amazing!
Spoiler: Queen + children On the day where the King chooses the crown prince/princess, Lemiel gives up the throne to his brother Ryan. Lemiel actually wants to become King because he wants to protect both his mother and Marianne. Although it seems like Ryan, with now 2/3 of the supporters, will become the crown prince, Marianne flips the mood by exposing the queen for trying to kill Marianne using the group that was trying to start a rebellion in the Heiden empire (where Prince Reiman is from). Marianne is then chosen to be crown princess and the queen is sent to jail. However, on the day Marianne is about to be officially appointed as the crown princess, the queen attacks with some noble supporters and that rebel group (who's ironically trying to unleash a sealed demon). Prince Lemiel dies trying to block an attack for Marianne, and Marianne is drawn into a battle with the head of the rebel group (who's part demon). Marianne crushes him in a dark subspace and comes back to a scene where Lemiel is dying and the queen is screaming and blaming Marianne for killing Lemiel (uhh, your attacker was the one who killed your son tho?). With his dying breath, Lemiel makes a contract with Marianne to become queen and let his mother die as one. The queen is then again thrown into prison and all her supporters are executed. It's a great purge and good for Marianne since basically her whole enemy faction is wiped out. To fulfill the contract with Lemiel, Marianne gives the queen poison and tells her to take it. The queen blames her until the very end and kills herself the next day. However, with her dying breath she apparently summons a demon and makes a contract to kill Marianne. Ironically, the demon is lower ranked than Marianne and is shocked when she finds out Marianne is Yurishina. Marianne lets the demon kill Marianne's body to fulfill the demon's contract (since it's dead anyway and Marianne's contract was fulfilled when she took revenge) before crushing the demon and making the demon her slave for 100 years. She emerges in her full demon body magicked to look as Marianne. However, in the process, all the close people around her (the Duke, Eric and Serith) find out she's a demon lol. Princess Demina and Ryan knew nothing about the mom's evil deeds and rebellion so they were spared but basically stripped of power except for their titles. They don't appear again but I haven't read all the side stories.
Omggg so sad-- i read from somewhere in this thread that her close maid died? Will the ML somehow becomes a demon too? He still lived with yurishina after hundred of years afterall?
