@Threee lazy writing
People are sayong ML is an abuser in The chapter that he replaces her defensive stone with a more powerful one? You know, he just armed her so she isn't subject to his will... right?
This isnt a romance anymore its a story about a guy, with a horrible power and who learned ethics and got his life together, getting attacked by people. And they're all manipulating him with the person who made him take that first step towards being a better person.
Also there are assasination attempts which should make how people treat eachother in public and private very different and the ammount of information they let escape be potentially dangerous. you dont want to make people you cant protect targets, you dont know if theyre savy enough to be careful themselves, and privacy is only as private as its secured from enemy eyes and ears. But only nocton experiences or notices this. Maybe that's okay with the Fl and alice but Aaron's a knight! How is he naive about that?
Blackmagic mind wiping seems to work by saying someones name btw. Thats why nocton calls fl valrose. And he doesnt know how long it takes to wear off because he isn't using the power of hypnotism for anything other than self defense these days. The only way he could test it is by trying the name of some innocent he hypnotized as a kid and see if its worn off.
@JWChibi because aaron also admitted to using the FL, nocton would be relieved after Aaron gets punished for using her and calls off the engagement officially. Also aaron is acting like he's going to exchange calling off the engagement for something from nocton. Aaron's acting really slimy and political.
Finally the only part im still curious about is the source of Alice's dreams and stones. The church hates nocton right? Are they using her against him?
