Aku no Kadou o Ikimashou - Vol. 6 Ch. 14 - Let's entwine The Flowery Path of Lilies

[chojinra]

Celestine rowing the waves of high society and manipulation with expert ease. PM’s just chilling, knowing that the lilies will flourish around her, but will never be plucked. (Unless they’re into that)

A brat like that should be introduced to the French...

 

[Kefrayba]

Quite a wholesome chapter, all things considered.

Seriously, why would anyone think this is yuri or GL? This is clearly more of a sibling sister relationship. Does anyone else not have a sister or something?

Forestry is such a nice hobby for noble ladies... just look at them pineing for another..

"Yuri" literally means "lilies". This chapter is meant to be a subtle GL chapter.

A yurifag's mind is a maze where every road lead to yuri whenever 2 female characters appear in the same panel. That's why they are mostly shunned in any other community. Even in 4chan, they have their own containment board.

Some of them don't even need that. They can just exist in the same story, never being present at the same time, and someone somewhere will be convinced the two of them are actually fucking when both are missing.

What fascinates me most about Celestine is that everything she does shows she is very much a villain, but carries herself in such a manner that even the audience might forget that fact at times.

Celestine is very supportive of Clara, encouraging her to step out of her comfort zone and showcase her talents to others and especially to Clara herself. However, Celestine doesn't do this (just) because they are friends, but because she could become another asset to Celestine and it makes Clara a more 'interesting person'.
You can't convince me for a second Celestine is not aware of Clara's affection for her. She knows and doesn't hesitate for a moment to use it to keep Clara close and in her care.

Same goes for Julia. Celestine humors the girl's behavior because Celestine expects Julia to be a competent schemer, someone she could use later to her advantage. And boy is she disappointed when it turns out Julia is nothing more than a jealous brat.

Celestine is not evil per se. She nurtures those around her that she deems worthy with care and attention. But she definitely is a villainess, and I love her for it. ♥


Sorry for the rant... 👉👈

Honestly this is what I look for in these villainess stories. Sure we get those "oh no I gotta change my fate but I accidentally make everyone love me more so than the heroine" but those that embrace being the bad girl are far more interesting. Though, let's be fair, villainess stories took off because of such a trope, of a villainess attempting to side step her fate. It's such a popular tag anyways, the villainess tag.
