I dunno, this new arc seems... unnecessary? Unless there's a lot more story to tell, I'd personally have wrapped it up at the proclamation that the entire country would know her name.
The introduction just finished. Novel content so far would stretch past ch 100 with various arcs that throw Avril at missions and disasters. It's fluffy.

I find it a bit of a stretch that a well-known disrupted wedding didn't spawn rumors that cleared Avril's name. Maybe the author didn't know how to write even the slightest ill intent from Avril if she wasn't playing a role.

I was sad that a new arc started before they are married for real. And you're saying there will be more arcs?

Please tell me they'll have their wedding after this masquerade arc...

Surely the perfect memory should help her with dancing, right? Though I don’t think we’ve really gone into how coordinated she is.

1) I totally forgot she loves those awful foods.

2) I don't understand why she keeps trying to be a villainous now that the misunderstanding between the duke and herself has been resolved. I understood her original motive for being a villainous as due to the misunderstanding of the contract being breached if they found out about the whole Corina/Avril truth/scandal.

3) That instructor is crazy by being awfully harsh and making huge accusatory assumptions against the fiance of a powerful duke. With Avril being a genius, she'll probably get blown away.

Um, well, you see...

The wedding is, for some reason, delayed a year. That'd put it past ch 50. The masquerade mission event, then a bigger two-part arc, then married. It's slow-burn up to the wedding. Then it's slow-burn and contrivances to slow the burn after the wedding.

Avril is an almost excessively wholesome political asset. I wouldn't consider the series serious romantic drama. It's more flirting and Avril undermining how tense any problem is by being a bundle of positivity.

2) You'd be surprised how hard it is and how long it takes to get enough self-confidence and worth to realise that the hateful things told to you by people who never treated you kindly are just flatout wrong. The word "ingrained" comes to mind. Even then that's only if you ever realise what's wrong with the way you see yourself compared to the way people who mean you well see you.

Long story short, for over 10 years she was treated like a slave and nuisance by assholes. It probably hasn't been a year since she's been with Dylan.

She wasn't trying to put on the guise as a villainous before meeting Dylan, so this isn't an ingrained behavior/taste, like her loving stale food. Her default behavior is being kind to a fault and being stepped all over.

She has to force herself to be a villainess and keep reminding herself to do so, although of course she isn't terrible at all. So her being at default should be to drop the villainess act. That's why I don't get why she continues to keep up the practice.

For how adorable, wholesome, and capable Avril is, I wouldn't mind this go on longer. I love myself a self-sufficient FMC that can keep continuing her quirky side (and just as reliable MC that loves FMC for all her being and supports her endeavors).
