That dress is really something. I can’t wait to dive further into this story. Thank you for translating and uploading.

These maids. Holy fuck. At least the Duke is a motherfucking ancient dragon and has an excuse for being an ass who utterly fails to understand or appreciate her feelings. These are the maids of HER HOUSE! The ones that ACTUALLY KNOW HOW SHE IS AND WHAT MAKES HER HAPPY! Christ in a cracker, when she tries to voice her opinion, they GET ROUGH WITH HER.

Burn it all down, spare none but the brother.

so far this is a freakin MINDBREAK manga ffs, here's hoping it gets better

 

[Chet31]

what the FUCK is this fucking trash! Those maids are a fucking disgrace. Lock them in the cellar and let them starve for their fucking horrifying behaviour. She tries to say what she feels AND THE FUCKING SHUT HER DOWN AND GO "OOOH, DUKE LIKE YOU, GO FUCK DUKE". God damn this trash.

@icarushector PREACH!

 

[FirenzeClipper]

I love those shadows.

 

[icarushector]

@Chet31 thing is, as a dragon and a duke (and an asshole dragon at that), he really has no reason to conform to human norms of propriety? Like, he could literally just give her a workshop and NEVER HAVE TO LOOK AT HER SQUISHY HUMAN FACE AGAIN. Who the fuck is gonna make him play by societal rules. He's a fucking duke so basically none but the king can reprimand him and I'm pretty sure the king is aware he's a dragon and I think a borderline guardian deity? Unfortunately, I think she also made some strange concessions in her duel and for better or worse he holds that shit to the letter.

I will keep the faith that this will get better. What purpose is there in a group putting the effort into this scanlation of a completed (or at least, long running) series if it didn't eventually get better?

 

[Chet31]

@icarushector I know, the absolute worst thing she could have done is what she did. Showing up in a wedding dress, that dumbass duel and terms. Show up in work clothes and tell him "F no" and then walk out would have fit so perfectly with what we have been told with her. It's just sad to see this dope female character be forced in to this shitty bubble and it is either going to take 50 chapters for her to break out or she is going to swoon to MC and forget everything.

@Ceiye You would think that, but then there is a comic published by Webnovel where the female MC gets raped by male MC in chapter 1 and then falls for him. I still have hopes since SCC does good things and this showed so much potential to then grab an elephant, make it stand over this and shat all over it.

@Ceiye we don't know if it's gonna get better, but we're hoping too, my friend XD

Ah there is a society where women opinions are shut down, women are brainwashed and think of themselves as
tool.. it is real, disgusting but not strange

I can't bring myself to like the ML or the FL (or anyone really!) , usually it takes 30+ chapters for me to understand what is going on

It's interesting to me that everyone's taking issue with the dragon when I think he actually made some valid points. Of course her situation unfair and sad but she's focusing it all on him when that's not really the full story. First her dad set this up (and mom approved) and it's the stupid system of their society that really initiated this sort of predicament. Secondly, if she felt so strongly about this, like he said, she could have just left. Now of course in the grand scheme of things she shouldn't have to leave home to pursue what she loves, that said, leaving would have been more prudent than challenging him. He's known as a great swordsman so why would you make a bet using swordsmanship and waging what you love to do most? In reality she wanted to make a show of beating him as clearly seen by her donning her wedding dress to face off with him. She wanted the satisfaction of besting him like all her previous suitors while sticking it to people's expectations but ended up letting her desperation/cockiness get the best of her. While I do sympathize with her misery at losing and admire her guts, he's right that she's running away. It's true she not honoring her side of the deal and even if you throw that out, why stop fighting at the first loss? She's not in a situation yet where there are no options, there are still other things she can try. I think though it's a good place for her character to start off. She's bold and determined but she can work on her forethought and resilience.

I don't particularly love or hate any character yet, rather I think we're getting to see what makes them interesting and flawed.

 

[icekatze]

Uhg... I hate all these characters.

The maids, what is their problem. Do they have not a shred of empathy or human decency?
That dragon. Does he really think that an agreement that is made under duress counts as an agreement? Why bother making someone sign with a knife to their throat when you could just forge a signature? It's not like that counts as consent.

And if the protagonist is going to turn into a meek pushover, then why am I reading this? I'll wait until the whole thing is translated and then read the last chapter just to see how it ends.

 

[Miriha]

The only people in this story I like are the twins and demihumans. Everyone else is stupid and neeeds to burn in a pit of fire and thrown into a volcano.

 

[MirthfulSoothsayer]

That man should not have left that room without missing some chunks or at the very least she could’ve fought back more, tried to kick ‘im in the crotch, bit the lil bastard, launched that stupid stone at the back a’ his head, SOMETHIN! Shoulda been more batshit, more fearsome; that dress shouldve been ripped to shreds, those maids shouldve been mauled half to death and that room would be torn asunder if i had anything to say about it. If yer gonna be angry enough to almost off yer self then ya oughta be ANGRY! PISSED! INDIGNANT! IRATE! MADDER THAN A WET HEN! SO FAR OFF THE RAILS THEYLL WONDER IF YER POSSESSED! JUST ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY BALLISTIC !!!! Come on girl! Give us SOMETHING! Anything but yer mopey kicked puppy attitude ya got right now! ((
