I Belong to House Castiello - Ch. 43

[koiwipa]

I read the 1st chapter again and she looked more mature in the 1st chapter. She is now shorter and younger. 🤔

@Vasqueztion

I get your point, but you can do that without the isekai trope. She came from an abusive family, that alone should've given her a different outlook in life. But even that is barely mentioned other than "Oh, I'm fine with this, my previous life was worse."

You do not need isekai to give the character maturity. Heck, she isn't mature at all. Like in one of the previous chapters, she 'decided' to climb a tree instead of climbing it because she's a kid. She expressed 'maturity' in this scene by trying to get herself injured.

There are plenty of fantasy and non-fantasy novels without isekai with characters that are more mature than her. You do not need isekai to provide maturity. Her character is not even mature. Her rebukes against her status earlier could be said by anyone, even my annoying 8 year old niece.

@koiwipa holy sheep I just reread it too and you're right! I mean it's not unusual for an artist's artstyle to be more mellow/smooth/round as time goes on (Shaman King, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, Naruto etc are the same) but yeah she looks noticeably older in the first chapter XD

Hey big bro dont bully Emiel :<

 

[SoloSera]

Not a fan of this ship. =\

 

[Kryspy_Kreme]

Please don't bully Emiel! He's a genuinely good guy (〃`･н･´〃)

 

[Kaarme]

@Kryspy_Kreme He's an adult man trying to make an 11 years old girl fall in love with him. Furthermore, it's a child he's supposed to be guarding and he's thus in a position of high trust. I'd say it's okay for the brother to give him a bit of hard time.

 

[Kryspy_Kreme]

@Kaarme Does he even know that he's about to fall in love with her? Or that she's about to fall in love with him? Though, it doesn't appear to me that he's trying hard to make her fall for him, I don't know. Not until he'd say it himself, or a clear evidence shows, will it be concrete.

Emiel cares for her deeply, and swears his loyalty that he wouldn't let anyone harm her, that's the only thing I'm sure of. It just makes me feel kind of bad seeing someone having a hard time, especially when I've seen their hard work.

However, I do see your point. If it is so, I wouldn't mind either at all. I'd actually want more lol.

 

[Kaarme]

@Kryspy_Kreme Yeah, I purposefully didn't say he's falling for her. It's possible he's not (romantically), but he's definitely treating her in a way that would make her fall for him. If you compare him to the other bodyguards, he's far more intimate with her, even including Roy who's basically fooling around and speaking whatever he wants. Emiel's behavior is very much aimed at making their relationship get closer and closer. That intimacy and very high friendship doesn't seem to have much to do with his job, which indeed should be guarding her and, by the looks of it, restricting the information flowing to her, as ordered by the duke. I'm not saying the knights should be all cold and distant, Estelle wouldn't like that, but the other two especially (not including Roy) behave in more fitting manner, seeing how they are serving under a duke, guarding the duke's family member. Estelle isn't their niece of anything, she's their lord's daughter, even if she's super cute.

 

[Kryspy_Kreme]

@Kaarme True. Their relationship isn't befitting of that of a knight and master. Though she is still recovering, and might think she'll lose him, they should start explaining what she can't and can do with her subjects bit by bit, and why so. It's important, especially for someone of high status, and who came from an abusive household. She probably holds on to people more than the average.

From what I can tell, Emiel wants to be there by her side with warmth and affection, and make her, maybe not forget as it's impossible but, unattached to her past and focus more on the present and future. However, he should do it reasonably. If she doesn't discern what is appropriate and inappropriate, it will do her no good. I wonder if he, himself, knows that. He might be so blinded.

I could only hope someone would point that out for them.

 

[immortalartisan]

I hate the idea of the mc getting together with emi I just want my yuri ship already!

 

[amyhcynh]

i love emiel so much no hate for this cinnamon roll please ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

 

[ForeverTheSky]

I like Emiel, but I really hope the author won’t push for the relationship to be romantic. It’s uncomfortable considering both their ages and position.

 

[Dreadkiwi]

Elves? Was that supposed to be translated as spirits, since she's apparently a spirit user?
