Thank you for the chapter!
This is only an assumption but, maybe since the "Arabella" is sort of rigged in the first place, Duchess Salvator might have a plan like integrate some people that could help Leslie
@SabrinaSpellman95 Re:your question about the age gap (just a slight spoiler for the time skip)
in chap 65 Leslie mentions that his coming of age ceremony was last year, which means he's 19 and she's 16. So 3 year age gap, but she'll probably always be smol because of malnourishment and cuteness
@Nuerlia thanks for that info.. hmm yeah I read it... but must've passed my head.. hihihi yeah.. malnourishment and abuse can cause adverse effects especially to a growing child.. and I like how you used the word... smol hihihi
few thoughts:
1. Why hasn't it mentioned Konrad's dad again? I want to see him burn for slapping his son for doing the right thing...
2. Can Leslie's whole family just go and die please (except her uncle, he seems nice)
3. Find you a man like the duchess 😍
