As amusing as this is, I'm really curious how we're going to get to the point of rooting for them as a couple. Keios' habit of stomping around and barking orders at her, his sheer indignation at seeing her going out and enjoying her life instead of pining away quietly somewhere and hanging on his every word, is really not endearing me to him at all. If it was just a matter of him being distant and misunderstood, that would be one thing, but he's actively repulsive when he does interact with her.

I've read some of the later chapters that Art Lapsa translated (before they paywalled it that is). And let me tell you, he's trying his hardest to bring her back, but he's such an oblivious idiot that it often backfires.

nope you dont.
the WN end with open ending. And the male lead still trying to chase her.
Ooh interesting spoiler here! 🤔

if that’s the case then it makes the whole action more fun and not make us tear our hair out over the idea of reconciliation. However I could see interest wane over time if there isn’t any progression, good or bad. I hope this story stays as hilarious as it is now!

Y'know, sometimes you get a spoiler that completely deflates a story and takes away from the experience of reading it, and sometimes you get a spoiler that adds helpful context and allows you enjoy a story for exactly what it's trying to be. Thank you very much for the latter!

Thanks For your works.

So the waiter is wealthy enough to buy ticket play, and is happy to share is thought with an other person.

So is objectively a better option for Nicole than Keios.
In the days before wait staff were paid as low income grunts (at least in the States where I am), upscale cafes and restaurants actually paid rather well, as they wanted to attract the sort of of help that their upscale clientele didn't mind handling their food. (Perhaps this is still the case in other countries. I suspect only the USA pays waitstaff less than ditch diggers.) So I would expect him to be able to afford middle class entertainments.

Yeah, agonize, bitch.

Bro has been doing that stuff with his precious bestie this whole time, so turnabout is fair play even if she did go see a play with someone with a mutual interest. Especially since he'd have refused her at the start of this story if she asked him to go with her.

FemC: “Hey beloved Fiancé would you like to accompany me to the theatre to see a play? I apologize for being so bold but we haven’t interacted in several months.”
MC: “Can’t, too busy sniffing the farts off the princess’s chair.
- later
MC: “I don’t get why she would assume I’m not interested in her and that I have the hots for the Princess?!”
Princess: “Why did I not realize that having you sniff the farts off my chair hourly could have led to such a misunderstanding?!”

When random cafe worker manages to have more proximity to her than the guy that has been "with her" for years...

This is the best moment for the "prince of a foreign kingdom disguised as a servant" trope

Honestly i´m waiting for the moment we are supposed to care for the guy... but man he is so ridiculously bad, that the princess should take him away with her to do grunt work for ever and let the MC enjoy her life in peace, she literary is better without him, so far "not being able to find a better option for marriage" is the only reason why she is staying... literally "there is nothing better" is not romantic at all.

When in the story the friands/princess will start using corporal punishment, because he really needs it.
