It turned out that Seraphina, who had been sleeping soundly by Ansel's side, had woken up. Ansel didn't know what she had exactly heard, but now, she looked up at Ansel with a pitiful expression, resembling an abandoned puppy.

Ravenna pondered for a moment, then confidently said, "That must have been your problem."

"What's the matter?" Ravenna tilted her head slightly. "Are you trying to make me jealous? I don't have such superfluous emotions."

I was 100% sure my novel would definitely die in 3 months after its premium lol Now I proved myself wrong. Though it's still a bit far from my dream of living as a full-time author, but, yeah, will go for it step by step.

A true man, but she won't be happy after returning. Unless Ansel can save the day with the powers of the heroines to save his father which again goes against the will of fate. And Ansel has already given up.
This is the truth behind Flamelle's rapid descent over six years to a level of corruption nearly equal to that of the Empress.

Yup, over-thinking has always been a boon for the brilliants. It's well established already. Fate wants to change the empire for the better but won't give it without hardship & sacrifice. It is my theory, I think fate has to be fair to everyone for it to medle with reality. So giving it's champion (hero/heroines) ultimate power must come with some consequences like having them face hardship. Ansel who already faced enough hardship already, if somehow there is a future where Ansel brings that change, fate will definitely choose him as it's champion. Whether he gets much more powerful or not, it might not matter to fate as long as it can achieve the desired future.
No, no... perhaps fate wants me to think this way, so instead I should—

Over the past decade, this mediocre, incompetent man, who had neither fulfilled his father's wishes nor raised his daughter well, this insignificant character in the grand story, must have endured countless humiliations and pains, but he had never been as broken as he was now.

Helen was silent for a moment, then said very seriously, "You will, eventually, I promise."

Yeah, to gain control of the board again assuming fate can't interfere with the world physically .
Even if Ansel indeed achieves victory, even if fate indeed loses one of the four heroes, it might gain an even greater outcome—

I hope she'd succeed, as it'd help Ansel become optimistic again. But this can also play just as fate wanted. Initially fate wanted Ansel to be the hero, he was also going towards that direction until fate killed his mother. And heroes become heroes through sacrifices and hardships, fate gave it to him without realising Ansel got memories from a certain traveler. I think fate never fumbled so hard in her entire existence. It'd be really interesting to have her personified and watch her reaction. It'd be so much fun, she'd be clicking her tongue every time she fails and doesn't get why she's failing, lol.
"If you need to resist the Empress, to defy the forces of fate, then... I will give you that power."

Yeah, you killed your mother by mistake and you can't live with that failure. Imagine killing your father, but this time it'd be deliberate. Good luck sleeping without having nightmares.
"If you do, you will never be able to turn back."

"Ansel, you are exploiting your father. You are exploiting... his love for you."

The most obvious progress in three years is this... this shameless flirting technique? Groping a puppet to create... create a passage?

What responsibility are we talking about!
...You must take responsibility, Ansel.

She's half delulu herself. He needs other pact heads for increasing the chance of success.
For Ravenna knew that in this world, the only person who could understand and help Ansel was herself.

Be happy with the win for now. You have all the time to improve further
Ravenna said this, but she still seemed somewhat unwilling.
