and btw, i really think ernon is ml tho. i still remember kasia having a talk with the prince (i forgot the chapter tho, but i think after she bring prince's mother) and i just feel kasia respect him so much, but i cant feel romantic vibes back then
so yeah, i ship ernonxkasia. thats why i believe our cute ernon is ml. somehow they will pass the hardship together and forever happy ending uwu
