I pity Valerie so much, no one is noticing that she doesn’t want to be there and is struggling so much. I feel suffocated every time she interacts with the duke and Serenia
I feel sorry for her. No one wants to go through that amount of mental torture. I want to strangle that mage for all the mental and emotional damage he’s been putting her into. They should just communicate in a clear cut way, it’s exhausting trying to figure out and filling in the blanks of a person’s intention.
