@chuchuchoerry well, he is established as crude selfish, no-manner person. I meant, in Eirene's street festival when he answers Ibelin he leaves because the play is boring and Kenneth calls him to be considerate of other people's feelings, he's like 'no, that's dumb. I'm gonna call it as i feel it, who cares about your feeling' .
Wayyyyyy back when Ibelin introduces Latte, he directly says in front of them both 'I don't care' - right in the middle of her sentence. He is just that crude 😷
about Ibelin, I think we give her far less credit here. I meant, she doesn't exactly doing evil things to Latte like Peridot (who pulls a nasty false crime charge scheme). She's just........I don't know, want attention? and jealous that Latte have more attention? (not befitting of angelic female lead who always think pure and nice thought but not exactly crazy villain like Peridot either).
P.S. if this is normal shoujo manga, there will be interesting Ibelin-Arwin-Latte triangle relationship. Alas, Arwin will be Arwin and quickly shot down all the drama though ( I meant, the scene at library where he turned away from Ibelin? /normal/ male lead will be like *awkward fidgeting/normal pleasantries that can be taken the wrong way/classic *stumble* and accidentally hug-scene* making Latte worried if he has *FEELINGS* towards her prettier friend *cue agonised drama for several chapters before they ascertain their feelings etc*
I think I read too much shoujo dangit
