I always wondered why Maria, despite being a noble, is the only one among all of them that is single (though I’m not sure about Alice). She’s beautiful in her own way, different from how Cecilly’s got this innocent beauty to her. I always thought she’d maybe end up with August considering he’s her mission partner all the time but that was debunked when we found out August had a fiance. I hope the author doesn’t keep singling her out as “forever alone” and keep making fun of her for it- it’s just getting sad and annoying
