Yeah I had a bad feeling about him a couple chapters ago. Like I know they’ll probably end up together regardless cuz romance manga rarely dares to try anything unexpected, but I personally hope she succeeds in fending him off.

its not like he has any intention of hurting or mistreating her that we can tell, regardless he still genuinely wants the marriage

Allow me to disagree. He wants the title. He wants to use her in order to get that.

Yes, he probably does not want to actively hurt her. But USING her is still just very very bad. He plans to seduce her. To tell her fake words of affection so that she marries him.
He's just playing with someone else's feelings...

they're nobles, any marriage she gets is going to be political, even if she breaks off this one the next one wont be love either

this engagement isnt something either of them decided in the first place, so him at least trying to make her happy, even if not out of genuine good will, is still the "best case scenario" for her

besides, "faking it" forever is really hard, if he keeps up like this, with no actual ill will towards her, its likely the feelings will become genuine

Bro’s toying with her feelings to get a fancy title, that’s one of the shittiest forms of emotional manipulation.
hes as forced to marry her as she is forced to marry him, why is him trying to make her happy regardless a bad thing? its a win win for everyone involved, she gets a caring husband he gets status, wopuld it better for her to get an uncaring husband whos only in it for the status?

He doesn’t WANT her happy though, he wants her agreeable to the marriage. Frankly yes it would be better to marry someone who was upfront about their intentions, then you know what to expect and where you stand. Honestly the kind of person who would manipulate a person into marriage for power is exactly the kind of person who would continue manipulating their partner after.

potatoe potatoe?

he is not manipulating her into marriage, their parents decided the engagement and at that point they had little to no choice in the matter, taking that into account isnt it better if the two of them try to get along and be happy instead of it being just a marriage in name only?

she is going to get married off to someone, its better that its someone thats interested in making her happy then someone who will treat her coldly or cruelly

Did you read the chapters? He specifically said he worked hard in order to catch a lady with a high title. This is not a poor sod forced into a marriage he does not want.

He is HAPPY that he has a chance to get the title and is determined not to let her flee. He doesn't care at ALL about her. He just wants the title and he's happy about the entire thing.

I don't get why you're trying to portray him as a victim. He is NOT one, he's a willing and HAPPY predator.

yes he worked hard to get a high ranking fiance, but he had no control over who that fiance was

if he didnt care about her at all then all his actions here are meaningless, he has no actual reason to make her happy and only has to put in the bare minimum yet is putting in maximum effort

You may need to try reading the chapter again there buddy. He worked very hard to get the engagement solely to get the title. He’s not a victim of circumstance or parental pressure. He is the instigator of the whole situation

Bro you’re missing the point. He doesn’t care about her happiness beyond making sure she stays for the marriage. And once it goes through? No reason to maintain the act, a divorce is WAY more difficult than breaking an engagement. He’s trapping her.

She very clearly wants to break the engagement (which is clearly something that is doable since him and the brother are both concerned about it). He does not give a shit about what she wants or what would make her happy, he wants a marriage to a powerful woman so he’s consistently ignoring her wishes to pursue his own benefit.

Like I don’t get how you don’t see that as manipulation? She’s an extremely sheltered and naive girl so he’s lying about who he is, what he wants, and playing the role of a “prince” to keep her locked down until the wedding bells sound. They aren’t “getting to know eachother” because he hasn’t been honest from the jump. He’s studying her like a lab rat so he can get power and wealth while she’s earnestly trying to be a better person.

no its not, in the eyes of the nobles the two of them are already married and breaking off the engagement would be a stain on her and the entire family, which is why she hasnt broken it off yet she needs his cooperation so both sides can do it "quietly"

he wants a marriage to a powerful woman so he’s consistently ignoring her wishes to pursue his own benefit.

is he? she wants to break the engagement for HIS sake, but breaking off the engagement doesnt benefit him in the slightest
