i know this won't be a popular opinion but i personally think the twist of the mc's friend becoming the grand duchess instead ruined the momentum. i think the cliche ending with would have been more satisfying.
im sorry but this is literally such a wrong turn. I loved the knight at first as the ML but then the whole story only continued in the other direction and built up that way. hate this !!
THANK GOD JADE IS THE ML BUT IM SUPER NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE PLOT TWIST AND RED HERRING (If they showed us more of the grand duke and riina i might be ok with it but so far its a major nope)
