If Graham remembers his past lives, oof. He's probably stretched to the breaking point. This Duke is beyond fucked.
Edit: went back and checked. That's definitely the first hero from Louisa's past lives.
@onionskins you know, considering that we now have seen Graham dreaming of what is most likely a past life, it's very likely that ntr is all this couple has ever known. It's just the woman's turn to be the target.
@Psychronia honestly, her past lives won't help her here. She's always been a peasant from a small town. She has no etiquette skills or special knowledge to weasel her way out, nor combat skills to fight if it came to that. What she has is a couple lifetimes of regret and anger, something she might have in common with Graham it seems, and a freshly hardened resolve to find the happiness she deserves at Graham's side.
So I don't think we're supposed to be scared. I believe we're expected to be
angry at this new potential antagonist for having the gall to try and be threatening with our lovely lady.
