No pressure...
"Just as a warning, however, I won't tolerate failure from someone that bested me, Lady Laura," Teresa warned her tone somehow sending chills down her spine despite the warm smile she was being given by the same woman. "I'll make sure to support you to the best of my ability, but the moment I see you knowingly being incompetent at your job, I won't hesitate to report you."

Implore? What do you mean?
"Laura, what you answered was exactly what I've been waiting to hear," Nikolai revealed, much to Teresa's shock. "While launching a proper investigation was the proper response, it would've been done by the Lower Court to save time and resources. We could do things faster by appealing to emotion. It takes not just knowledge from the books and laws to find the truth and do justice. I want someone who will not hesitate to implore just to make sure that justice is truly served."

Hahaha completely crazy and not at all just and fair to relie on assumptions about parental love.
And then with a serious face, she firmly stated, "I am confident that the real mother would give way and have her own baby given to the other woman for her baby to just live. Because a mother would do everything to save her baby's life. That's a mother's love."

a one-woman man, I believe you meant to write 😁
"His Majesty is a one-man woman," Niran chimed in. "He has no plans of getting a Mistress if that's what you're curious about, Lady Diane…"

I find it disappointing that anytime she speaks to them, it is to ask where Riftan is. No bonding or interesting friendships forming there.
She smiled slightly. "H-Have you seen… Riftan? He was gone when I woke up, so I have not seen him all day."

She's fifteen and Mineah had to kneel to be at the same height??? Did I misunderstand something ?
"I'm fifteen," the young girl answered.

Sure, but someone who can read people's thoughts should know that feelings can be rekindled or develop with time and proximity. Even if not from Nikolai himself, she can't be sure about Dahlia.
Mineah smiled back. She was really happy that Dahlia wasn't thinking of going back to Nikolai. All throughout their conversation, she didn't miss a chance to read her thoughts because she wanted to make sure that there was nothing she should be worried about, and sure enough, she found nothing of the sort in her.

Godh I would feel very uncomfortable with it if I were in Mineah's shoes 😳
"I understand. If you're in need of anything, please don't hesitate to ask me and the rest of my ladies-in-waiting," Mineah reminded Dahlia. She then remembered something as she hummed in thought. Nikolai did say that he thought it'd be for the best if it happened. "Hmm… Nikolai would prefer that you become one of my ladies-in-waiting, but if you're uncomfortable about it, then please don't hesitate to tell me."

Hypocritical much. The guy had lovers and does pretty much what he wants .
[I know, Ezme, but we have to do things properly. We cannot just let you do what you want. Please listen just this once and don't break mine and Mother's heart,] he firmly stated. [We want to send you off properly. I'll send a formal request to Ebodia if you're really decided on being with that man.]

*through and through
"While I'll ask you to forgive my choice of words, it's not as simple as it sounds, unfortunately. At least, not for the average citizen below," Nikolai explained as he moved to hug Mineah from behind. "Also, I know you know that I don't think that way. Hell, I'm sure nobody thinks you're a foreigner in the palace. You're a part of our family now. A Valcrezian true and true."

No, they see it later, after the element forest. It hasn't happened yet.
Mineah shook her head in approval. "Although, I do hope he manages to get a hold of his ability to shift forms quickly. I feel that Lai is getting more suspicious of me with each passing day, and while I already told him more about my inner powers and curses, I still can't tell him that I have angel blood," she pointed out with a sigh. "Doing so would tip him off that Ezekiel might be able to hold Vulcan's power, and that can't happen at least until Brother is good enough to shift off his own free will."

Hahaha good one!!
Caym took a step back. "No, it's a fictional city," he replied.

Ah so they had the Romans and Rome in this world? 😏
"Ever heard the saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'?" Caym remarked, taking a step closer. He draped his coat over Ingrid's shoulders.

Hahaha!!! 🤣
"So I could get a good grip on your hair and toss you toward them," Caym responded impassively, his expression unchanged.

I don't understand anything now! Did I miss something ? Did that part disappear from the story now? The only dream I see is the dandelion one, and there are no mentions of any of this. I did think it was weird she woke up saying "what a horrible dream" when she dreamt of her brother 🤔
"Even Christine," she murmured, her words barely audible. "How did I know her name in my dream?"

I don't understand... wasn't the dream a pleasant one about her brother in a field of dandelions?
The ornate boxes adorned with delicate motifs, the rich, velvety curtains that billowed in the breeze, the soft expanse of the bed beneath her trembling fingertips—it all mirrored the vivid scenes from her dream the previous night.

! repetition *his voice devoid of emotion*
"Whether you swore an oath to remain silent or if your family is being held hostage, rest assured I will extract the answers I seek," Caym declared, his voice devoid of emotion. "I am already deeply displeased that Count Braille met his end before I could glean any information from him. If you choose to remain silent, you will bear the brunt of his intended suffering."

One could have expected her to speak politely with her servants, rather than in a commanding voice, especially considering her situation with them being her only friends... I would find it more noble.
"Lorraine, serve the tea," she commanded, her attention shifting away from the conversation.

Because their wedding wasn't spontaneous ??!
"Weddings like that can be a hit or miss, Mine," he sighed. "I just only hope that things will work out for Ezme like it did with your sister. Most of the time, spontaneous weddings like that can be disastrous."
