Keios is really holding onto this idea of being engaged without really trying to make any effort to communicate his feelings to Nicole at all. I'm really not convinced he actually cares about her at all, just some fanciful idea of her being a perfect and demure woman for him to marry. If he really loved her he would try and understand why she wants to study abroad and support her, and work on maintaining a relationship regardless - the reality he hasn't come to terms with is that they don't have a relationship to begin with.

Specifically, the last chapter kinda tells us that he wants a damsel to protect and be a knight for, so her being an independet being with her own agenda must be a huge bummer for him.

Introducing a new character with their first few lines just being misogyny is an interesting move, especially if the author wants us to ever like him.(i trust the author enough to think that wont hapoen without significant character decelopment first).
However it would be really funny for the certified women hater to get the scholarship and travel to a much more progressive nation where he has to witness women being somewhat equal to men(his worst nightmare).

I do like that the 2 dorks that follow keios around to try to keep him from being a full on stalker are not only good fiancees but also just seem like genuinely nice dudes with a good head on their shoulders(in contrast to the other 2 student council members).

Keios having to deal with the fact that what he wants for his fiancee is something she wouldnt want is a nice first step towards redemption, but itll doubtless take a while till he actually figures out the solution.
Tha ks for the chapter!

Happy to see more of this, can't wait to see where it's going!

I guess I'm the only one who feels kinda bad for Keios here? I don't think he's a bad guy so much as he's just a moron, but his friends are really not cutting him any slack at all lol.

Yup, dude is still an asshole who deserves a prickly pear lodged in his sigmoid colon

That said, his friends are the best kind of trolls

Nicole could say the exact same thing back to the count's firstborn son. "You're already going to inherit a territory, just go back there after graduation and fulfill your responsibilities. You're just taking up a spot for non-heirs trying to make something of themselves."

I’d be the lowest of the low
You’re the shittiest of the show already :dogkek:
Curious to see the new guy’s circumstances, maybe he’s not an immature prick like Keios :thonk: personally I hope she gets to fulfill her dream and being independent without getting married, but I firstly hope the she doesn’t end with Keios at any cost so I will support the new guy’s if he becomes a love interest :win:
Thanks for the translation

The story focus on Keios suggests that they'll get back together again but I really wish the story was just about Nicole breaking free and fully pursuing this exchange student opportunity.

No mater how many "excuses" in the form of flashbacks they throw, i still want her to either end up alone or with someone better... not this guy.

Every chapter where he is still wishiwashy about all, is another stronger hope that he does not end up with her... is like this entire story is uplifting to women, but at the last moment the author will say "nope suckers"

i´m having fun watching this guy flail around and her thrive... but i know this will end and i will be angry with that end

NGL, what I want is for Keios to remain and become a supportive fiancé who genuinely learns how to give her space to do her thing while running interference for her to keep away others who would box her in. Let them become an example to their fellow countrymen in this backwards-ass kingdom.

They can be late parents or childless. It's fine. If he needs an heir, there's always adoption. He doesn't have to go the concubine route or whatever. It's more important to bring some social progress about.

But I do want her to eventually recognize that he loves her. Although I want it to take a long, long time so he can suffer lots more.

BTW, YAY this is the part of the WN that's basically a short afterstory with no resolution of what eventually happens to them as a couple, so we are now in a new story!!

I hope the ending is open and they break up but maybe get together later on in life like leave her alone and left her flourish
