Ngl the "I no longer consider this Mother-Fucker my husband" really made this 12x more satisfying.

The real questions is will she actually be alive at the end of this?

It'd be funny if he was trolling her the entire time with that time limit, but I imagine there's a plot twist somewhere that we haven't seen yet

It's been so long that I had forgotten the long hair character in the last panel. 😂

I guess even after being dropped from the balcony she didn't die, which is the loophole she'll use to get out of her deal with the fairy king.

That would be a fun plot twist. And kinda on theme with the fae folks, if they author lean into that.

What a simp lol

So while the main plot line is now solved, what remains are just a couple key points with the Fairy King.

In chapter 2:
1) He simultaneously lays out the stipulation that there is a time limit to complete her wish in, but also gives implication that if she completes it that she might...not die again?

The only reason I can think for him asking this question is thinking that she'd solve it sooner than the time limit. There wouldn't be a reason to ask if she were to need all ten days, only to die once more regardless of fulfilling the wish or not.

2) This line he uses before Ophelia puts the crown back into its box and shuts him away.

If this were another series you could conclude that it was a bluff to remain out of the box; but the plot here has been built up entirely on lines and actions being said and done deliberately, so I'm very apprehensive to dismiss it.

Her time had come

Plot twist: It's all in her head. The Fairy King can't revive people from death so he's letting Ophelia having a dream being resurrected and actually solving the case.

i'm sorry, but i really would love it for her to just die after all this and thus her story will become a legendary one

I really like how they used Oliver here mostly cause I've seen this type of character played for romance god knows how many times, the fact that he had the one chance to save the queen but was far too worried about getting cuaght being a pervert speaks volumes about him and his so called love, that slap along with his disillusionment was just so fulfilling

Thanks for the translation! Since the novel has a sequel, with a title that's basically a spoiler of what's going to happen, i can't wait for what comes next~ ✨

her plot armor is fucking insane then. Poisoned, strangled and thrown out of a balcony and still alive.

Ehh, she still died in the end, that much is certain.

you mean in the end of that night, or the end of the series? Cuz I'm pretty sure she
will still be alive after this, since there's a sequel novel and she's alive in there (if the MTL translation I read was right.)

While it would feel nice if she survived, I agree that the story would be better if it stuck to its premise and she dies. But I don't think she will because...

Rasputin level plot armor. Even if other commenters hadn't pointed out

Spoiler

she is still alive in a sequel.

She's not gonna die, is she. Because she solved the mystery, she's gonna live. Especially since the second unknown condition the fairy king mentioned could be "Fulfill you regret and you will live".
