Right. He’s been looking for his son for how many years, and you’re just gonna tell him “I know where he is but you’re gonna have to wait”? Is that even remotely realistic? why even go there alone? Might as well bring Richard with her.
That adult brain sure isn’t getting put to much use 🤦🏻♀️ MC, communicate properly, take into account how insecure Richard is, and stop letting that other little kid yank you around.
See, this is the so-called formidable opponent. She thinks she can request 4x the amount as if it can be produced out of thin air. Even if it could be, if I were Ivan I wouldn’t want to sell it all to her at the low price in their contract.
Perez, you’re costing your beloved Tia money.
One of my pet peeves is when we’re told a character is X, but the author makes no effort to show that to be true. Why is the empress a formidable opponent? How is she good at picking out weaknesses? So far she’s unnecessarily been antagonizing the...
Although the concept of home delivery is not new (though to be fair, we have no idea how it works in this world), her idea actually is innovative. We are so accustomed to these things being normal that we forget that someone had to come up with the idea in the first place. While it’s true that...
Grandma and grandpa REALLY done f’d up when raising Viese. TBH I find him a bit unrealistically stupid, in that he’s not even smart enough to suck up to his dad, the person that will actually decide the successor. He doesn’t hide his greed, his contempt for Tia, or even his contempt for his own...
To be fair, the loss of the diamond/iron mine was not because Lombardi exactly screwed up - it was sabotage by the son in law. Even Tia said that once she found out the Lombardis were participating, she’d have to bid significantly higher because they’d do anything to keep iron mines locked down...
thank goodness I read a better translation elsewhere - this is too hard to understand.
I don’t really understand the point of marrying and starting your own family, only to sabotage your in-laws to promote your natal family. I would think you’d want your own family (aka your husband and kids)...
Their aunt is the head of her family, does that not count as being in the empire? Tia specifically mentions that it is allowed, but there are only a few female heads, so her great aunt takes pride in it and would rather be called by her proper title.
Viesel is such a moron. Yeeeeah, helping...
He’s an idiot, but to be fair, he might have at least been more competent if his father gave some heir training. At this point no one has been selected so the patriarch does it all himself - the children have at best learned through observation and running small sections of the business, but not...
I’ve been thinking for awhile now that I don’t actually think Perez should be emperor. The problem is the lack of another candidate - the first prince is crazy and has zero self control, so he’d be worse than his greedy, selfish dad. Perez should marry into the Lombardi family. Then he’d have...
