Like yes, Caius is a teenaged boy who’s too immature to handle having a fiancée. How many teen boys do you know are blockheads that can’t talk to girls?

But you would think SOMEBODY had to have drilled etiquette and manners into him. He’s part of an aristocracy! How has he gotten this part without one of the adults in his life realizing he’s messing up his engagement and needs an intervention?

Anyway can’t wait to see Caius and the princess fumble their way out of this cause it’s gonna be an uphill battle lol 😂

Because he had a capable fiancee who handled their relationship for him, on the surface they're doing the appropriate steps it's the minor details that broke their relationship and without her handling things for him it only now becomes obvious how neglectful he was

I...have so many complex feelings about this story
I really like the plot and context but the impression it gives me is that is going to treat all of it in a comedic casual way, is just a misunderstanding jaja so funny.
But...i don't like that is being treated like a joke? this bastard has ignored his fiancee to the point she honestly doesn't expect ANYTHING of him, she is already done, she gave up, yeah she is happy and free now but that doesn't change the constant dissapointments she suffered in his hands, he couldn't care do to the MINIMUM, and we are supposed to let it go just because he is dumb and didn't think it tought?
i feel like if the guy actually cared for his fiancee but his intentions where misunderstood it could work as a joke but he doesn't, we see him be indiferrent to her, he might start caring now but is too little too late.

Don't get me wrong i'm not saying he is unforgivable or anything, but unless he actually feels bad for how he treated her, and starts fucking working his ass off to be better and ask for forgivenesss then i honestly don't care about him
If my partner made me feel like i don't matter to the point he did, they better get on their knees while crying or i'm breaking up with them, she can't break up with him for how their society works so thats why she wants the marriage in name only

...wow i had even more to say than i tought

TL;DR:
The guy better get on his knees and beg for forgiveness before the girl even considers giving him a small CHANCE at redemption or I’m dropping this.
He doesn’t deserve to get away scot-free, and the pain the girl suffered before she gave up NEEDS to be acknowledged.

I'd say we've gotten some significant hints that he has cared about her the whole time. Like with the flowers. He chose white flowers specifically for her, thinking that she would like them because girls tend to like white flowers. Now, where he messed up was in how he worded the flower delivery (jerk) and the fact that he didn't think to ask what kind of flowers she would actually like.

But ignoring his general incompetence, it shows that his heart is in the right place. He does care about her at least somewhat and want her to be happy and content in their relationship. He just has no idea how he's supposed to do that because he's a dense clod and she never once expressed the feelings of discontent that have been building up all these years.

That's not to excuse his behavior, because he's made some colossal mistakes that he needs to make up for. But out of ignorance, not out of genuine apathy to her situation.

I don't really think Caius's behavior is really excusable, because a) the other student council members made time for their fiancees, and b) "therefore, it has become customary to say: students should make the most of their time at the academy to connect with their betrothed as much as possible." and yet this dumbass neglected her for a year and half???

Yeah no. If someone treated their partner this way, they have no right to complaint even if she served up divorce papers. Or in this case, annulled the engagement.

In that sense, he's both lucky and unintentionally scummy that she's basically trapped in the marriage if she doesn't want to marry problematic guys. Just by being patient with him, she missed out on good potential alternatives. I doubt it's going to go that way, but I certainly don't want her to take him back at this point.

Princess Caroline gradually realizing how much her presence fucked her childhood friend over is quite amusing. Not to say any of it is her responsibility, of course. If anything, she's being quite fair. This is all on him.

Honestly if I was in the princess place I would set Nicole up with someone else. Not because the princess is guilty, but because Caius is too much of an idiot to do that. I would never even consider for a moment helping him if I heard what she did.

I don't think we're currently supposed to forgive him. The story so far has been piling on all the ways he's taken her for granted, and is only being proactive now that she's slipping away in a very public way. If he does care, which presumably he does, he's failed to show it and hasn't yet showed that he's actually even repentant for putting the entire burden of the relationship on his fiancée.

I suspect he's only going to be dragged through the mud socially even further before we're expected to even humour forgiving him.

Id say there's some level of apathy, he didnt prepare her flowers and needed a lot of explaining done to make him reluctantly get her some

The way that Caius's internal monologues about Nicole always sending her letters, why the heck would he not send her letters too!
This is the definition of him taking her for granted. Usually I would blame his parents for this as well. But then we do not see any parents in the story so far.

My thing is that usually plots like this are all:

Plot: ML is super inconsiderate of MC and doesn't do any of the stuff he's supposed to do as a fiancee.

Me: Oh he sucks then. I want a new ML.

Plot: But wait! ML was just shyyyyy and didn't knoooooow he was supposed to do those things and MC never spoke up so he didn't realiiiiize she was unhappy!

Me: Sounds like they should be with different people then.

Plot:...

Me: Yeah MC should be with someone who already understands basic etiquette and notices when she's unhappy. ML should be with someone assertive enough tell him when he's being a dipshit.
