Marriage is a contract, love is not mandatory

Family is duty, a great responsibility

Then, Love can be nurtured

Hell yeah! Screw those shitty fiances! Take that power!

 

[Kip44]

The very definition of "the best revenge is success", in this case, success in finding happiness outside of a partner who cares for you nought.

nah, for aristocrat, marriage is a contract and connection.
duty and responsibilities towards your domain come first.
love is not needed but respect it is to rule efficiently.
but that can be turn into love if you nurture your relationship towards your partner.
even it not a romantic love, some turn it into familiar love or siblings love or friendship by respecting each other. like getting married to your best friends or partner in business.

so to aristocrat,love is bonus but what important is duty first. people pay taxes to you, so your duty to protect your citizens, if you can't do that, go become a peasant then.

Spoiler: annulment...

maybe because their series is so refined and the characters are eloquent that it doesn't right with me that annulment was used. for it's exact usage, annulment is used after marriage. it may sound like divorce but the law defines the two as 'ending a valid marriage' and 'recognizing it as a void marriage.'
from what I understand while in divorce you may call your spouse your 'ex,' that would not be the case with annulment, with annulment that status will be perceived as if it never happened. it's used in religious practice to not recognize the marriage as if it didn't exist.
annulment examples would be ones not recognized by the law, without legal documentation, like group marriage. and annulment is also a desirable result from contesting forced marriages as well. divorce is on terms agreed by the two parties involved, usually to split properties and payouts, but annulment can be recognized with only one party if one of them applies. they can also be made if it's believed that one of the parties is 'incompetent' without a guardian to advocate for their decision. last example I can think about is a shotgun wedding done while one of the parties is inebriated, meaning if they can prove they were incapable of making a decision the marriage will not be recognized, or 'annuled'
it's not annulment but a termination of an agreement made by two households. not only was it an agreement made by her family meaning she herself does not have full autonomy for her arrange marriage, it requires his signature as well in order to terminate the contract.
edit: but I reread it and it's Orva who says 'annulment', which is quite fitting because his IQ is pitiless

I was confused about page 16 w/lady bernadetta, I wonder if it's foreshadowing the next chapter
also I loved the aldini family meeting where they reasoned with Sandra, it's very charming

ehmm they use annulment... a looot, for the villainess genre, like a bunch, so that's why it was probably used here.

I'm honestly surprised that ethical NTR against bad marriages(abusive, deadbeat, dysfunctional, etc. partners) aren't a much larger genre.

isn't that mostly used in NeToRi? where the MC does the stealing, so we get the MC not being a POS so they make the OG partner a beater, trash, etc. It's not that big, because they enjoy more NTR the degenerates 🤣🤣 (and that happens in both sides, male or female artist or well buyers from both sexes 😅)

I love it when this meme appears, specially when it does works perfectly hahaha.

Interesting thought: last chapter, the little brother (Gerald) said that he was “instructed” to escort Sandra to the gathering in his brother’s place. But at the end there, muscle brain says “when did Gerald and Sandra even-?!“

it could just be that Olva was so out of touch that he didn’t know Gerald was sent as the substitute in his place and was thinking how the two of them got so close lol

However it could also be that either Gerald substituted without Olva or his family knowing he did, or his family did knowing that muscle butt was no longer worthy of being the successor and slowly planning to replace him. Either way would be interesting to see… 🤔

from what was hinted before, it looks more like the mother took command of the family after their father unfaithfulness, so prolly also supported her son that actually was more responsible and not unfaithful to take care of their business partner and why not? help her so that's actually in love. (adding a little she could see herself as gerald as being the weaker side of the relationship as we saw her being more reserved in the past, but Sandra in the present made it sound like she's stronger as Orva got frightened by her words)

 

[MiguelH224]

Lmao??? Why are you mad? You were the one who neglected her to simp for that apprentice, some histrionic personality disorder (attention seeking) having thot also entertaining your buddies at that


You get mad at your little bro when you were the reason they even spent a night together, your dumbass was supposed to be your "fiance's" escort, your bro pulled up cause YOU flaked on her




Hold this L and let that bitch marinate

 

[VF89]

even if I want to say he got NTR'd, there's no love between them in the first place to call it that

There's no deed, either. So, still doesn't count if there's love.

 

[Banesephy]

Perfection.

 

[whermit]

"Love is the bane of honor, and the death of duty" unfortunately bro forgot that he was not as important as the job he was meant to have and could be so easily replaced.

 

[Kaarme]

Interesting. I wasn't sure this would be enough of a fluffy romance story to actually give Sandra a man she deserves, instead of bulldozing forward with the first arranged marriage. After all, Orva and Gerald's family is one of martial art tradition, so it would also make sense they wouldn't give Gerald a chance, due to his physical weakness. But perhaps the marriage with Sandra was important for financial reasons. They might have noticed Orva wouldn't be able to handle that, possibly ruining the whole financial aspect of it, making the marriage pointless.

From what I've seen around me, I'll add that it's essential for every married couple (yes, even the regular ones today) to create a bond beyond passion, like those you cited (familiar love or siblings love or friendship like you said). Passion is a bright flame that burns out quickly, and romance as a concept has been deformed by pop culture for decades by now. Yes, an old couple can still feel romantic feelings toward one another, but it generally means they created an additional bond between them, and that they actively nurture it, like any other relationship.

Aditionnaly, one of the worst poisons for any relationship is treason, and that's exactly what cheating on one's partner is. Hence why I find the villainess genre so effective.

lil bro got mad game

 

[juanguillermo]

MFer really talking about his duty as a knight when he can't even listen to his fiancee lmao. Even though this is Japanese Orva reminds me of an American 40% statistic 👀.
