It prolly is tho. Rosemond had the Duke helping her because she knew how he had gotten his status. The common knowledge is that the Duke was the son of a baron with the Duchess being heir to the duchy. So him raping her and forcing their marriage seems like perfect blackmail material to me, dont you think?
Petronilla responded, "Yes, it is ridiculous, for the Duchess..." Petronilla lowered her voice and continued, "If the Duchess really married the Duke Efreni out of love, that is."

Well that sure backfired Rosemond :)
Residual feelings. Residual feelings for her had disappeared on the day of the party, when she had revealed to him all of her deception, leaving only the bitter wounds behind. He let out a chuckle.

This part is suprising! If i were the duchess, I wouldve divorced him the moment he’d gotten a mistress. Especially since it was her title to begin with 😑
His title had only been established due to his position of being the husband of Lady Efreni. This meant that the Duchess of Efreni was not interfering with the Duke of Efreni's position, as she still loved him; but if things went awry, it meant that the Duke of Efreni had to return his title in some way. If that happened, January's life would have amounted to a dog chasing after chickens.

Im wondering when this part was supposed to happen, cause the first chapters imply Patriza was the only one who knew as she said Petronilla had acted exactly the same, and didnt act weird when she said she’d become the queeness. Is this a continuity issue, or was her going back as well added last minute? Idk its unclear
And when she opened her eyes, she seemed to have come back in time. But Petronilla was only able to thank God for this blessing for a brief time, as she had to despair once again. This time, instead of herself, her sister had become the Empress!
Fantasy · Muso
Idk why she didnt lie or something. Telling him her plan is pointless, since he is the emperor and an emperor can get rid of mistresses whenever they wish, so Lucio could easily get rid of her once she told him that
ch 131 CHAPTER 66 (1). THAT OBSESSION WITH LOVE
Fantasy · Muso
Im still skeptical, what if hes just trying to get close to Imperial family through her? Idk he seems too persistent to be actually interested in Petronilla
"And I do not try this hard for someone if I do not have them in mind."
Fantasy · Muso
I gots a bad feeling about this
Petronilla said this and quickly left the room. It felt like January was staring at her with suspicious eyes to the end, but Petronilla walked on casually as if nothing was wrong. Nervousness excited suspicion.

ch 121 CHAPTER 61 (1). THE EMPRESS IS REALLY TOO MUCH
Fantasy · Muso
A few books falling on you isnt a bog enough deal to call a doctor, even if they were on the thicker side, and if his arm got real hurt you prolly wouldve heard a snap or something. though maybe im the weird one since i only go to doctors for medical requirements like shots or surgeries.
ch 118 CHAPTER 59 (2). YOU MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE SURPRISED
Fantasy · Muso
Lucio became exactly like his father, or at least is on his way there. father’s wife didnt recieve favor, was infirtile, and treated indifferently. So is Patriza. Father had a mistress who he loved and who bore his child, Lucio has a mistress who he loves and had originally planned to bear his children. Lucio was an abused child of a mistress, and litterally chose his wofe for her supposed infertility! He was an unhappy child, yet basically TRYING to repeat the cycle at this point 😒
ch 111 CHAPTER 56 (1). 10 YEARS AGO, SHE DIED
Fantasy · Muso
See this is where i find it funny. both rosemond and her personal maid were locked up and were nearly put to death. so if he helped patriza he couldve solved this issue once and for all! No rosemond= no proof of his wrongdoings. he honestly just made it harder for himself, since he could easily gotten away from her the moment patriza became regent and locked rosemond up.
So, the pair's alliance was not truly an alliance in its essential sense. This was just Rosemond's will. He responded to her because this was what she wanted, and he followed because she wanted it. In the first place, he couldn't do anything about his predicament.
Fantasy · Muso
He could go back to Vain palace at night and pour gasoline all oher and set it a flame. That wouldve been an effective solution.
There was no use denying it. All of his secret data now possessed by Rosemond proved it. In this situation, how could he not be made a fool by her? How could he escape being used by her?
Fantasy · Muso
Man i really wish the emperor couldve been behind the door listening to that like what happened earlier in the novel with Patriza.
"I'm a fool who hired those stupid things. From now on, I should find more guaranteed assassins. Oh my gosh. To withdraw without even checking properly. It's a waste that I paid the entire amount of money."

I Dont understand !!! What does this mean?
"I am not saying that you should not give her the death sentence. I do not care if you make her someone who is not of this world, so save just her life."

ch 80 CHAPTER 40 (2). YOU SEEM TO HAVE CHANGED A LOT

Id have said “i dont like seeing the people around me die. id rather myself die than knowing someone died because of me” (then added on in thoughts-“execpt Rosemond, she can go burn in the pits of hell/a pit of fire”)
"Insufficient. Unless you really do not have any feelings for me. You would have been worried if you had really seen me as just the "Emperor," but you wouldn't have been angry."

She shouldve arrested Glara too, Otherwise i feel she would just erase all the evidence before Patriza recovered it
ch 67 CHAPTER 34 (1). DECLARATION OF REGENCY
Fantasy · Muso
I wouldve thought she’d adopt a child like previously mentioned in the story. And how old is the duchess supposed to be? I think i remember that January was supposed to be 10-20 years younger, with her son (and marriage) being 20 years old, shes prolly in her early 40’s, which i’d think is still fine to marry and such
"Yes. However, I have no regrets." She continued with a bitter look on her face, "I cannot marry another man at my age, and my only son is already dead and buried in the cold dirt." As the Duchess spoke, her emotional state appeared more stable than earlier, but Petronilla was saddened as she caught on that her heart was like a wasteland. The Duchess of Efreni noticed her expression. "I am not alright, Lady Grochester. But if I consider that it was all inevitable, I feel a bit more comfortable with that."
