Lot of issues with that color page. The expression on Bernadetta's face changed, the background changed, the eye sizes changed, etc. Pointless and gross

I love how he acknowledged that her peers were what pushed her forward, it shows he truly loves her for all of her.

Also this artist is ridiculously good at those cat flick eyelashes. They're so pretty 👀

Oof, proofreading needs a second pass. And a third. Lots of missing sentence ends, some inconsistent spellings, etc.

The color page was a nice surprise but felt kind of...mundane? Like the coloring only did a job but didn't add anything to the scene (and arguably detracting in some ways, like the eyes) :huh:

Still gonna squee tho :glee:

YEAH!

I'm glad that Lucien is not giving up even though his proposal got rejected. From the sound of it he will have to marry into Berna's family instead because the Queen will not let her talent get away lmao.
Why would a foreign prince marry into a family ruled by idiots? He already knows that family is treating Bernadetta poorly out of envy. He's smart enough to realise Bernadetta's value when most can't, so he's not stupid. The future queen will just keep Bernadetta single. Maybe Bernadetta won't mind, after all this. She only has eyes for Seraphina anyway.

I think the Future Queen is planning to make the Prince of the other country to put in alliance if he wants his love to be true. She's scarily cunning but I really like it.

I don't want a chapter on this stupid, inconsiderate, incompetent, bitter, childish, lazy, judgemental bastard of a boy. I dont give a shit about his perspective, nothing could make me hate him any less.
What do you have against Lucian? He is the only one who understood the appeal of our girl Bernadetta

Didn't you read that Bernadetta is planning a takeover of her family?

Didn't you read that the Queen's purpose is not to keep her single, her purpose is for her not to leave the country as to not lose her talent, which was exactly what Lucien deduced?

I thought that was really clear. You can't even do that much?

Unless the chapter shows him and his father getting punished for their attitude towards her, or there’s a big twist regarding his character, I don’t see why this chapter will be necessary either.
@TinsleyNocturnal

Nope, not even then. While I don't mind seeing the spoiled shit and their bigoted father get removed from their respective positions. I could honestly care less to read the events from either's perspectives.

It's just going to be a toxic mix of "I'm better then you", "know your place", "you've always look down on others", "why am I being punished", and other such clichéd drivel self-entitled shits spout as they are made to face the consequences of their actions.

@Kaarme

I wouldn't say it obvious, no. The future Queen does hint at it, and Bernadetta does seemed determined to live upto her future monarch's expectations. I also expect them to try and poach the young prince for the future prime minister.

But I don't think thats the only interpretation that could have been gleaned from those scenes. Otherwise the little prince would be much more concerned about getting honey trapped.

Well, yeah, I do suppose there might be a long game of trying to change the structure of the whole marquis family entirely. Noble families weren't a meritocracy typically, though. In fact the whole idea of hereditary nobility is the complete opposite of meritocracy. So, Bernadetta would definitely need the royals' help to take over her family (unless she goes stabbity stab stab on her own). I admit I don't remember this series well enough to judge if the nobles are living in a constant fear of the royals sending them to the guillotine, but everything in the atmosphere of this series seems to speak against it. That is, even if Bernadetta gains a high position in the somewhat far away future under the new king and queen, she still wouldn't be the head of her family. Unless the new rulers allow her to found her own noble family.

I mentioned keeping her single offhandedly because that would actually be the best way to spare her from a husband who would try to suppress her due to feeling inferior (just like her family does). Not to mention she seems like the kind of genius who would be happy to concentrate all of her mind on a satisfying career.

Should read back a few chapters, Dearest Dipshit Daddy tries to drop the "girls should attend to their knitting while the men manage household matters" BS on her and she counters with a number of powerful Matriarchs who led the family to the position they hold.

O . o
Her PoV chapters were full of confrontations with her family amd thespoiled saintess, but there was also a longing for an equal partner, someone to share intellectual conversations with. Someone that would not only support her, but also the kingdom she cares deeply about.

She can't rewind the clock. The current marquis decides who's the next marquis.

Plenty of partners to be found also among colleagues. Not romantic partners, but partners nonetheless. She spent all of her time studying and also remembers and applies perfectly what she learned. In contrast to that, teaching the idiot saintess was too big of a challenge for her, showing that random social interactions aren't her forte. Naturally she can handle interactions with intelligent people debating academic matters. She showed little interest in the foreign prince, despite the prince doing his best to show he appreciates her personality and competence. In comparison, she kept sticking to the future queen, whom she believes will put her expertise to good use, granting her a rewarding career.

Sure, she might want a romantic partner who appreciates everything she is, but such people might be few and far between. Much harder to achieve than a career, which she can create herself with her brains, as long as given a chance to prove herself (Seraphina will). Once she has got that career rolling, it could be that she wouldn't anymore spare a single thought to romance. Happens a lot to people with a job they love.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS CHAPTER!
The color page takes several artistic liberties, major changes to the eyes for example, leading me to believe its unofficial.
I suggest to move the color page behind the uncolored page so the original first impression of the page is preserved.
