I was about to complain but I remembered that this is a Shoujo manga; and the "I can fix him" mentality is strong here.

To be fair ch 1 pretty much started with her "I'mma fix you" on some random robbers-to-be.

At this point it shouldn't be a question of whether she'll be trying it, but how.

I still want to see a series where FL hug ML from behind then proceed to SUPLEX him.

Page 20 is so cute

Something like the game's story pushing back on anything she attempts to do to alter it?

I still can't figure out if this is going to play out straight shoujo or have a tragic bent. I assume ML has some secret reason for his behavior, but… he might also just be a jerk.

Either way it seems like a foolish bit of grandstanding from him – who's better positioned to assassinate you than your own spouse? Let's actively antagonize the one person willing to give you the benefit of the doubt (and doesn't really observe trigger discipline).

why am I reading this manga owo

 

[AnotherDuck]

"I'm still his fiancé!"

And she says that with the happiest smile since he told her they're best friends. Read your own emotions, please. But I know she's a bit dense inexperienced in that area.

My read is that the grandstanding IS intentional. He WANT Francesca to stay away from him because whoever killed his father/brother is likely to target her if she sticks with him.

The same can be said for the threats other families. Him targeting the foreign trade and 'tobacco' farm, while the current case is literally about DRUG TRAFFICKING?

Reading the previous chapters and this one makes it look like Leonardo has a bipolar disorder.

 

[wuhuwuwuwu]

I can understand why Goto-sensei said that she had fun drawing Leonardo's face and gloves. Everything about this chapter was really good!

The next chapter is one of my favorite scenes in the novel. I'm so excited. I can't wait for next month to come 🥺✨

Thanks for this chapter 💕

I know his family is supposed to be powerful, but why in tf would the rest of the families even entertain his demands? If his family was so damn powerful, how come they haven't just assimilated the other families yet? If all their combined power doesn't amount to anything in face of his family?

They're all just de-facto underlings? That's such an absolute waste of a setting, weren't there supposed to be some sort of power dynamic thing going on? Isn't that the entire POINT of setting up the whole families thing? Wtf is this...

It was clearly explained in this chapter, pay some attention.
Nobody wants the marriage to happen. Calvino doesn't want his daughter to be used as a hostage and Serranova doesn't want the Calvino alliance to go to the Aldinis instead of them. He offered them honestly a good deal. Lose a little money and power to prevent a disaster scenario peacefully. It is literally all a power dynamics thing that you claim you want.

Well it's clearly not a good deal. Much as annulling the marriage is clearly what all of them want from our reader perspective, Leonardo is presenting an impossible deal to the two other heads.

Give up prized portions of their own respective family's empires, not to mention enriching the Aldinis at the same time, or stick with the marriage and Leonardo gains much the same through political connection anyway.

I think you read too much into Leonardo's words claiming it's a small price to pay. They definitely aren't. He's being sarcastic, remember he's not using his "good guy" face here.

I'm not saying of course, that the marriage is something equally important an issue. But that's why it's an impossible situation.

My current read is Leonardo actually does want the Serranovas and Calvinos to go through with their plan to annul the marriage using the ancient protocols. However, he's concerned that Francesca had gotten to close to him and might reject the Serranovas proposal. He's giving both families and Francesca no choice but to go on with their plan.

Remember, annulling the marriage himself is an empty offer. He's bound by the same rules the Calvino family is. He's talking about breaking the blood pact himself, which the other two heads won't seriously believe. If he instead intends to force the duel to happen, things will play out same as the game. And furthermore, it would also prove that he wasn't actually a villain in the game either, which is why he was intended to be an obtainable character there.

If we want to consider the usual shojo trope someone mentioned about "I can fix him". I would remind that usually the case in these shojo stories is not just the protag thinking "I can fix him", but also that the villainous male lead turns out to not need fixing at all.

It's pretty clear to me that Leonardo would never to actually harm Francesca herself if they got married but his family and all this mafia stuff will definitely hurt her. Leonardo is hoping to protect Francesca from danger by breaking off their engagement. If he could Leonardo would be happy to become a doting husband but events are already in motion for a full-on gang war

My complaint was leaning more toward her being so tame, as if nerfed; but I remembered this is a Shoujo manga, so it is what it is.

She was just shocked by Leonardo's incomprehensible action and that suddenly the 'story' seem to get back on track despite all her efforts.

It's with Ricardo's pushing her to speak her mind (to the fathers) that she decided she do need to speak...to Leonardo.
