Is it strange I was turned on with Klifford's knowing smirk? I know, I'm weird.
Wait
sis/but he really sees her as a mother figure con
younger bro is partly the cause of why her previous escort knights were leaving her? How? Was he the one at fault for looking for their so called love interests? Or did he force them to leave her by threats and well... forced to look for the nearest guy that's interested with them.
Well, I don't hate him just yet. Thanks to his meddling, she got the most dangerous, cunning, sexiest, and most reliable knight there is. And knowing his former commoner bg, he WON'T fall for any other nobles OR the same sex. The only question remains if he's already interested with his lady or will he use her at... something. Older brother is trash though. I mean, I COULD see WHY he would feel threatened with his younger sis and the spoilers with the
assassination attempt
and well... she IS acting strangely and the era certainly fits but so far from her POV, she certainly so far LOOKS like the better candidate (protected by a talented and semi well renowned knight, at other people's eyes, she managed to "tame" him to an extent)
So far the Octavia x Klifford romance is not obvious yet. MC mostly sees Klifford as just her guard; and is more focused on trying to find her fake boyfriend. Also the story is more targeted to exploring the world setting and its quirks.
The older brother is such a scumbag. It doesn't help that he's also a hypocrite trying to get his family's approval (especially his sister's) to accept his lover but he couldn't even respect her decision.
It's paranoia. The older brother is convinced Octavia hates him and is trying to ursurp his succession for the throne. The ongoing rumour is that Octavia is a likely runner-up to the throne because the king doesn't favour the younger brother. Also, some assassins who tried to kill older brother's boyfriend, Syl, claimed Octavia sent them (she didn't). He thinks she's trying to threaten him to give up his succession rights.
What if the way the little brother made the escorts step down was by seducing them? Like « I’ll give you my body if you leave my sister’s side »? Kyaaa 😳😆😆
Or he purposely pushed the escort towards a man so they fall in love?
Alderton is the only one he threatened because he’s too hetero lol
