That's the smile of an angel right there.

So, fellow readers, who's more unsettling?

Cecilia, clearly.

I wish I could give a shit about Randolph. The final scene is pretty damn sweet, but I find him so utterly boring that the scene fails to hit me like it should.

No, Conny, you are not unsettling. You are too good for your own good.

I think Randolph is perfectly fine as a character, I just don't care about this possible romance with Connie. Neither of them feels like they're emotionally ready for it and it just feels tacked on.

Who's uncle Ulcer again?

who and what is ulster again?
the summary are helping but that's also pretty much the only thing I remember.

A branch family of one of the Dukes, they exist to work as Homeland Security for the country. The one that just died was the head of the Ulster house and the leader of the group.

Tall, dark, and mopey is now the new head of the Ulster house, but since his older brother is dead the main family wants him to be the head of that house as well.

The whole point of the other characters is screaming to Randolph that he needs to care about more than his job, so maybe once he does they'll actually start having chemistry?

To be brutally honest, their romance is the only real gripe I have with the story as a whole. The romance subplot feels like it is just there because of genre conventions and not because it added anything to the story.

From here on, I'm mostly joking: The romance between Conny and Randolph seems like an editorial decision to "no homo" Conny and Scarlett

Look at the covers, he always had a darker tone.

But when I read previous chapters he was definitely lighter. Like comparing 12 and 30 specifically. He’s colored lighter.

Man, I found this genuinely very engaging. I feel like we haven't gotten this kind of quiet moment with Randolph up until now... suppose we know why he's devoted the way he is.

Also everyone in his life giving him shit about not taking his fiance with him lmao.

 

[Huiiii]

Connie's rizzing her fiance like a chad. Slay queen 💅

Girl knows just what to say. And he is sure ridiculous to blame himself for others around him.

Though, confused, what is an Ulster to the family then?

 

[beThereShortly]

Our girl just bagged the "grim reaper" with a smile and neither of them realized it!
Thank you so much for your translations!

The Ulster is clearly his edgelord backstory - way too edgy to reveal it just like that.
