At this point it feels like reading netorare but without the sex.
MC just needs to be upfront, sit FMC down and tell her exactly how he feels, apologize and bite the bullet.

What have you been doing with Lord Claude...

Is "Lord Claude" an honorific out of respect or affection? or a title for nobility? I'm assuming the former; does the original suggest one way or the other?

Isn't it weird how we say MC and FMC while Nicole is straight up the main character, and Keios is the MMC?
That's true, though most of the chapters so far have been from the MMC's POV. Only in the last couple chapters have we gone back to the FMC's POV.

I read this through an OI lens, and Nicole is the "main character" of the series for me. The story so far seems to be pushing Keios to be the "male lead". I hope Nicole dumps his ass for good and finds a better life where marriage is neither necessary nor sufficient for her happiness.

Claude seems to be on his way to be the "2nd male lead", but I hope they just have a relationship of mutual respect and no more.

Agreed on all counts.
I hope Claude (Lord or otherwise) is there as an initial foil, and then support character for Nicole's efforts to passing the exam and gaining access to studying abroad in Iliegele. No romance, just mutual respect as you said.

I hope Keios doesn't "get Nicole" in the end, and instead takes all of this as an opportunity to grow as a character and as a person, and find a path that fulfills him on his own. He's an oblivious, bullheaded asshat, but he's not a bad person, so I hate to see him as an antagonistic character that deserves to "lose and suffer". But I hope to the hells that Nicole rids herself of her engagement to him and moves forward as her own person.

Also yes, Nicole is absolutely the "MC". Keios would be "MMC1", and Claude "MMC2".

Oh darn, Claude might be taken. Shame that route is going under.

Claude's a rude asshat. Why would the main protag have a love interest that thinks women need to stay behind to give birth and raise children? I would rather him be paired up with a rock than with any woman. He looks down on women except for the old lady due to manners.

Hmm Claude may have a love interest in the end :thonk: Well fmc should be able to clear the misunderstandings pretty fast, there’s no need to worry imo. And this kind of ends the possibility of Claude being a new love interest for her, that would be good, but only if it doesn’t means the manchild stinks going up again.
Fmc’s feelings for him are gone and buried, just let her be free man :haa:
Thanks for the translation

Nah you can’t say that, it’s true that Claude speaks in a rude way but he’s not a misogynistic dude like you described him. He looked down on fmc cuz he thought she’s just another noble lady, sheltered and not serious about her studies. Now he noticed it wasn’t the case, and while he’s still rude with her, he stopped looking down on her and respects her.

Claude makes her dumb fiance look like a PRINCE. She has said openly said she wants to be a working woman and what does he say?

He is a jerkwad. Nicole was on the top 100 for her studies and getting a scholarship. She learnt a language all on her own and he just shrugs it off. Claude basically thinks a woman should never purse a career and get married. No life. Just marriage. I would rather him rot in the lake. He doesn't deserve any love interest with how gross he is.

This is becoming infuriating to a ridiculous degree.

The "Keios trying to win Nicole Back" horse has been beaten to death.

Its so beaten it's been tenderized into dog food and the bones jelly slime for jello. People have eaten it, passed it, its gone out into the world to fertilize the grass and feed new future dead horses.
