Wait I'm confused...did Veronica start to have feelings for Eugene, so when she was betrayed by him she felt and recognised her own distress, therefore making her able to have her own feelings/'free'? Why the story always gotta be sad as fuck though 😭

Thank you translation team!

 

[Chococake357]

Thanks for the update.

I don't know what is "being free" meant at the last panel. To cry for her own self?

 

[cecillerec]

so veronica had genuine feelings for eugene uwu what does that mean? was it romantic? i mean, maybe she has already settled with the idea of being "married" to eugene? but what about glen? ok. ik this is not just a romance manga. but i can really feel veronica's feeling of betrayal by eugene. i can't wait for more chapters to come out!

 

[fliffy]

So as I understand it, @Chococake357 @anime06 I think you guys are right. She felt something for herself for the first time, and she felt "free" from her identity as the princess, because crying and wanting to kill Eugene had nothing to do with her duties?
Something like that

Zeze when he's being Zeze is nice, but I don't know why most other women love assholes. Eugene is a big one, as far as I'm concerned (and FTR, I'm a woman, inb4 you call me an incel)

 

[Kaiochiii]

I always wondered what veronica felt to glen its never confirmed and i don't think she loved him
as how its obvious that glen loved her.
here i felt that she for the fist time felt something to eugene and was angry for the betrayl

 

[mjhei]

zeze number one. as expected

 

[nanamka]

I'm sorry guys, I didn't realize I uploaded version without page 24. No wonder you got confused lol.
Anyway, I fixed it, so give it another try and let me know what you think now 😋

 

[cmcerbito]

Thank you for the person who translated this! This is such a genuine manga, i cant wait for next chapter!

 

[sukaley]

thank you as always nanamka!!

glad to see the masses also subscribe to the Zeze #1 agenda

as for Veronica's feelings towards Eugene.... there have been hints throughout the story. they do say that hate and love are two sides of the same coin.

 

[nanaka]

I think Veronica definitely loved Glen at one point, but never allowed herself to acknowledge her feelings because she felt the result would be fruitless. :'( She also seemed fond of Eugene. Maybe those feelings were even close to becoming romantic.

Can't wait for the next update to see how Minami will deal with his past regrets/grudges in the present.

 

[NonstopSong]

That’s not freedom, my dear.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@sukaley I'm not sure "two sides of the same coin" is really what being mad that someone started slaughtering people you care for, is about.

 

[Mira995]

thank you for the chapter !!!

I just love Veronica, it's sad that she end up dying

 

[Frosemaryt]

Thank you very much!😭😆

 

[sukaley]

@Purplelibraryguy it goes beyond being just mad though. If it had been a random Moswickian army coming in to invade, she wouldn't have felt what she felt as much as she did with Eugene, someone with whom she had felt a sense of camaraderie and with whom she was okay with spending the rest of her life.

I do think she had feelings towards Glen subconsciously, but she already gave up before she could even explore them, so she was never able to recognize it as "love." With Eugene, love may not have come to them as naturally as with her and Glen, but in this case, she actually let herself feel something instead of subconsciously blocking it out. From what I've seen, Veronica has let down her walls the most with Eugene, because she felt that they could identify with each other. That's why she looks so fondly at him this chapter—he started to let down his walls as well. It may not have been fully-fledged "love," but I feel like it was getting there.

basically what I'm saying is, IMO without having cared for Eugene, Veronica would not have felt so personally betrayed and wanted to kill him, royal position aside, to the point that Minami, Mr. Live-in-the-present himself, cannot forgive Eugene's reincarnation Zeze.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@sukaley I agree with all of that. But I feel like the oft-trotted-out saying about love and hate being two sides of a coin isn't normally trying to say that you'll be even madder if someone you are somewhat close to betrays you, because it is a bigger betrayal. It's a more basic claim about psychology, that, like, someone whose personality strongly elicits emotion in you could do it in more than one direction just from the nature of their strong impact on you.
(It's a claim I'm actually kind of suspicious of because I've rarely encountered people who strongly prompt both negative and positive emotions in me, and the one or two times it has happened it's been because they have different aspects to their personality, some of which I strongly like and others of which I strongly dislike.)

If Ver weren't a princess, she would want to marry Carlo. If she weren't a princess, and Glen weren't a knight... It's obvious that she loves Glen the same way he loves her. But she is a princess, therefore, she doesn't have freedom. She can't even cry for herself, until everything is destroyed, she no longer have a home, a castle, her people, everything is destroyed by Eugene. So in a way, Eugene helps her to finally found freedom.

I don't think she love Eugene, since the first free-will emotion of her is hatred. Eugene might love her though, since he do want her to run away with the person she loves.

I'm gonna bet on Veronica being a dense harem lead royal cocktease to the very end.
