People keep forgetting that Emiel doesn't answer to Estelle, nor he needs her trust or approval. He works for her father, so as long as HE trust him, he is fine.
this arc is kinda... a mess? i feel like there are parts that are too rushed and other parts that are too draggy? i dont know where this is going but i have invested way too much time to drop this so im sticking with it until the end
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone the MC has no reason to like or trust is like "Don't trust [other character who the MC has known for a long time and has a close relationship with]," and the MC is all "oh no" and takes them seriously.
Also why the fuck would she go to the Marquis' house. She has literally no reason to go there. It would be perfectly fine to say, "Bring the gift here or fuck off."
