ugh i hate to read when NPC characters are just so happens to be vulnerable and weak to deceive when the plot is already moving forward toward the antagonist's schemes. There's a reason why palace guards/knights are exempt from following status on most historical stories esp when the palace is full of high ranking personages. What they could do is respectfully make their stance clear that they can't leave the post together. One of them could call and wait for the backup that could assist the noble. It's not even an urgent situation where someone is calling in distress. It's just so stupid and frustrating to read. Even a blockhead would know it's wrong to leave your post empty Ugh

It was right for them to refuse for the sake of their duty, but they were only powerless palace knights. If a high-ranking noble held a grudge against them, they would lose their jobs without having any chance to defend themselves. The two knights looked at each other. A minute would be fine. In any case, there was also a maid in the break room.

If Damian, an inspiring intellectual, would be able to access the Taran Family room, he could conquer the world if he want to with that knowledge.

The heads of the Taran family never used the family knowledge to seek the development of the world. As long as the head of the Taran family remained master of the North, development was difficult. A kingdom with moderately strong royal authority was ideal. The more chaotic the human world was, the more progress was made in the flow of the world. Keeping the North alive and dealing with whatever issues the country had, whenever it had it, was not a pointless thing for the Taran family. Because humans that were satisfied with the present did not seek change.

I wondered why the author didn't write Lucia attempting to save her mother from being sick after her 'rebirth.' But if she woke up when her mother's already sick then that explains it I guess. But I still find it odd for her to focus on her upcoming royal entrance at the beginning of the story rather than to spend time again with the last moments of her mother esp when she spent decades living life alone in her 'dream.' Knowing Lucia, she definitely would have cherished to experience beside her mother again after not seeing her for so long.

With her innocent, childish mind, Lucia thought that her mother would be upset if she asked her more about the pendant. So she decided that when she grew up and made money, she would buy the pendant and give to her mother as a gift. But after her mother died, she forgot about the pendant.

However, Sofia tried to break her trust in her husband. The trust that the two of them had to resolve between themselves, a third person tried to ruin it. Lucia could not forgive that.

what a wise character. I'm quite satisfied the author didn't go into that route of 'plot coincidences' where the MCs always fall victim to. It's a great way of showing how this FL is always thoughtful and prudent of her actions, not one to easily fall victim to other plots.

He was not ready to be a father at all. If a child was born, it would be a tragedy for everyone involved as well as the new-born child. Lucia did not want to have a child that Hugo did not want. She wanted to have a child that received lots of love from their father.

And Jerome even have to add to remember the flowers "theme" lol

He hid his restless mind and on the surface, responded very calmly but inwardly he harbored a minor grudge with Jerome. Out of all the possible presents, why did it have to be rose flowers?
