Aku no Kadou wo Ikimashou - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - Let's offer The Flowery Path of Evil

[chojinra]

Hahaha, Celestine is a BAD BITCH!

I really love her walking down the flowery path of evil, because she doesn’t miss. She destroyed that brat girl yet again. The only thing I’d worry about is that she didn’t finish her off, figuratively or literally. Desperation that she’s going to be feeling could be a problem down the line.

It was kind of interesting to see the PM (still no name, btw) genderbent, and how he would have turned out without Celestine. Luka is hilarious as always with the uppercuts.

I don't feel too bad for her, or for him for that matter. Two people who can treat their lovers like, they deserve each other.

holy shit
this girl is evil EVIL
the soleil queen is not a good person sure, but she doesnt deserve to be emotionally manipulated like that when she pour out her vulneravility to her.

dang, i feel bad for her. the ex crown prince can suck a nut tho

My tear ducts sucked the saline back into their sacs when I realized that Celestine hadn't converted the prince a loving husband, but gained another cash cow....

Oh she truly evil. But, since other side is person who want to ruin her life, it's not so bad.

The queen being manipulated emotionally just because Celestine thought she wants to steal her husband 💀💀💀

Author continues to have Celestine be a fine villainess kek.
"Yes, I believe in pure love, and in fact he could be closer than you think." (gestures towards royal gold digger)

Woah, false hope to the remorseful dogshit prince, and ruthless to the queen that teased her.

I know the overwhelming opinion is that Celestine was manipulating them, but I truly think she was trying to see what might bloom if both of them matured. Hence the whole flowerbed thing.

Then again, a flower has many petals. Even if they don’t work out, she’s still going to get richer, so…

well our girl even as an isekai protagonist kept her yandere attributes, she thought the queen wanted the hubby for her harem and she's merciless

Bruh we're reading this because Celestine is a villainess. So for her to manipulate others and people are getting upset at it? Like... that's what's on the tin. Besides, that prince was easily swayed. He's just a tool, in every meaning of the word.

 

[whermit]

Advising him to use his charm so that he can exploit the queen for their country, while also using her charm to get the prince off her back. How ironic. She really is a top class villainess.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

That superficial woman got what she deserved.

 

[jctsoi]

I learned a new term recently and I finally have a situation I can used it!

Our villainess turns the Prince down the path of hag maxing. May he be entwined in it fully!

 

[Khulmach]

If his act breaks it probably will be War

 

[Kyuketsuki]

The loving MC couple is a bed for two. When people mess with it they become pawns

On the one hand yes, on the other hand villainess tins almost never have actual villainesses in them. 99% of the time you get a bog-standard shoujo heroine. Also uptil now Celestine was evil in style but good/neutral in action. Now she's doing something that's very evil by shoujo standards.

A delightful surprise but a surprise nonetheless.

Queen Solie: B+ for evil aesthetic.

Pretty good but her makeup could be gaudier and she needs a lot more jewelry.

 

[asbun123]

Celestine is amazing

Let's put her under "Would hurt a child"

Actually, I was thinking…

At the end of the day, the ex-crown-prince is now in a monogamous relationship, and the queen feels much better about herself. So… maybe in a way they're both better off than before?

 

[MikeSinner]

Ouch, poor hubby fell right into the thorny rose bushes! But he saved his wife, so he's probably okay with it, even if it stings a while.
I do wonder though, what can make a person that awful (Talking about the former supposed heroine). I have my doubts we'll be hearing much from her again though, with the implied allegations.
As for the queen, I think it is as they describe, she was shielding/protecting herself from insults etc. from other, but by doing so, also made it hard, if not impossible, to truly be loved, pretty much being the cause of her own problem at that point.
However, the insecurities etc. from her past must have shaped her to act that way, so maybe, she can turn that around now and feel truly loved.
Which brings up another potential problem with the prince, because (for now) he is not sincere. If that relationship ends up going south, the queen won't be getting any happier. At least I can imagine how she got to be the way she is now, especially with the details in this story, but again, that former heroine... I don't get her. Mayeb she also lacked a loving environment and turned out like that?
Oh well, what am I even trying to play the shrink for, I was here to enjoy the story and have a bunch of laughs.
Truly, this is a pretty good story and I am enjoying myself a lot. Her's to hoping many more chapters will follow (soon-ish?).
