You know when you get the bad feeling you know where things are going? My guess is that she will give up the revenge for his sake, he's probably going to take over the revenge but will give up at some point, she probably will think it was all for nothing and want to go back to her world, he wont let and will confess his feelings, It will become some cliche "forget the revenge and lets be lovely dovey" instead and thats that. No revenge is acomplished, the crown princess stay the crown princess, yada yada, the end. Honestly, i hate when that happens, where they just give up the entire revenge plot and thats it, like the whole premise of the work wasnt the revenge or like the main character can't have the revenge and be happy and lovely dovey at the same time, they gotta picky one thing and thats it. It always feels cliche and unsatisfatory when these type of stories follow this path, because the whole point of these works was the revenge + happy end, not one or the other. Idk, maybe its just me, but It always feels a bit "meh" when it goes that way. This is all just guessing bc of the way its going, idk if she actually gets the revenge or not, its just that bad feeling that the revenge part of the plot will go away to focus on romance, like It happens in a lot of works with the same premise, i really hope thats not the case because the fl is such a badass and it was so good this far, It would be a complete waste to completly give up the revenge arc when we know she can have both, i mean look at her and tell me that she can't have the revenge and the happy lovely dovey end, you can't, because we all know she definitely can do both. Sorry for the rant Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
My prediction is that Hestia will truly give up revenge for Kael’s sake, but - oh no! - Diana is going to be punished anyways because too much has happened for Helios to fix it all. So it’ll end up being a half-assed revenge, where Diana is ruined but not technically because of Hestia.
And yeah, you can argue that Hestia’s character growth is realizing revenge is bad or whatever. But like you said, getting revenge was the PREMISE OF THE STORY. It’s such a cop-out to suddenly prevent Hestia from finishing what she started.
Honestly close enough but in the end Hess does get her happy ending along with her revenge to a certain level because they end up regretting it and apologizing to Kael. And losing a lot of power and support.
Completly agree with you, the character growth thing always feels like a cop out when It comes to those revenge stories. Also, unfortunaly, after reading Kooki reply It seems we're both right, it will end with a half assed revenge not exactly due to Hestia's but because to much happened for everyone to ignore, but hey, at least they have a happy ending.... (╯ ;–;)╯╧╧
Thx for the info, I guess by now i read so manny on this trope and thats why i could see that coming, but hey at least they have a happy ending, thats good to know

Novel spoiler
And Helios and Diana divorced. Helios married someone else and Diana was just a nurse to the emperor until he died then she left the palace. I was quite satisfied with the ending. Also hestia and kael have 3 kids
We know they all mistreated her but, what I meant was that I think they're all took part on planning her murder, my theory is that the husband asked for the divorce so his family would be able to kick FL out and take anything of value she had, knowing her stepmother wouldn't take her back, so she wouldn't have anywhere to go and that way he and his mistress would be able to easily find and kill her, before the divorce proceedings could even be actually started, since it would all happen in the same day, that way it would look like FL killed herself, then the stepmother would claim she saw that happening and that the FL was depressed since her father died, so the FL husband wouldn't be suspect of anything and he would be able to claim her life insurance so they could share the money.
I hate the whole trope of "oh, I must keep this from her, she shouldn't find out about this, it's for her safety, I'M the only one who can keep her safe, I'm hiding this for her sake, I'm just protecting her by leaving her in the dark, I'M gonna be the one to make her happy and be by her side even though she's clearly happy with this other person, that's just because I'M the only one that knows what's the best for her, I need to stop her, that's to dangerous, I ain't got no trust that she knows what she's doing, I need to keep trying to stop her without even thinking that or asking if she knows what is she doing and repeat that this is too dangerous". Thankfully the Blond one isn't the ML. Idk, maybe is just a personal icky but, I just think that 9 out 10 times someone is left in the dark bc the other part wanted to "protect them", they will find out things by the worst way possible in a way that actually hurts them for not knowing sooner and being in the dark all along.
yeah one of my least favorite tropes (〜￣△￣)〜 glad that Rion and her actually trust and communicate with each other
My Brazilian ass was so confused when she changed languages out of nowhere to say "Obrigada" which is Portuguese for "Thank you" (⊙…⊙ )
Also, I think his reply was a mistranslation, I'm guessing they took the panels from a BR or PT Scan, he probably said "De nada" which although it would literally translates to "For nothing" it's actually a expression to reply to "Thank you", it means the actual translation is "You're welcome".
He was the easiest to develop affection and she was desperate to survive but, he's not very stable, he has valid reasons for that but still doesn't change the fact that he's a ticking time bomb, a tad possessive and at the same time his affection keeps increasing, so does his perception that in reality, she doesn't truly like him that much, that sometimes she seem to be somewhat forcing herself. Now, she's so focused on him that she didn't realize that the Crown Prince probably already reached 100% and that she's actually interested in the Crown Prince. I know from Spoilers the Crown Prince is the ML but I can't wait to see it is that the story development goes untill we get there.
I never thought I would be so happy with a MC successfully dying and having her body burned, yet here I was in despair saying "don't let them save her, please" ;-;
When the witch showed up all I could think was that she's truly the best witch in that book and that she needs to help him burn our queen body and send him to her world with her ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
So, basically Coulton cancelled Damon's line up on exhibition, leaving a blank space on the line up and afterwards put his sister on the blank space that was supposed to be Damon's place bc Coulton didn't trust him to finish the pieces but kept it a secret and didn't tell him about it. Now Damon accidentally found out that happened when he was talking with Coulton sister and she talked about her first exhibition that was going to happen, the one Damon was supposed to be in but she's now in all of the sudden, so when Damon guessed what happened, he went to his studio and broke almost every single piece that he had made for that exhibition, except for one, then Damon ignored Coulton's calls and texts so he could act like he was the one in the wrong, like he truly didn't not commit to the exhibition, so it would look like Coulton was right, so Coulton wouldn't feel bad about that, but apparently even though Coulton did actually take off Damon's from the exhibition line up at first, he began to trust Damon at some point, regretted doing that and decided to instead make a solo exhibition just for Damon, a different exhibition than the one where the sister now fills the blank space, in order to compensate for it and show that he trusts and care for Damon but since Coulton never told any of that to Damon, Damon thinks he was being played all along, he was never in the exhibition line up from the beggining and even though he was hurt, he acted like that in order to not show and not make the other part feel guilty. Now, after this all happened and everything went to shit, we then get to see that all along this was actually a big misunderstanding due to the lack of communication between them.
Did I understand it properly or did I get something wrong? (O∇o ")
If that's it, I think Damon would rather make people mad at him than to show others that he's hurt and mad at them, which is kinda sad. It kinda looks like he doesn't think his own feelings are valid :/
this was actually a pretty good explanation
Wow. I needed this break down honestly. Thanks
Hehe, I wrote it down bc I was confused myself but I'm glad I could help others understand ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
holy shit i had NO idea what was going on i was just going along with the ride and hoping that once the story inevitable reaches its conclusion i could get it through whatever communication they had LMAO like this makes SO much sense omg
My speculation is Colton was setting up a special solo exhibit for an artist, and that artist is likely Damon. He mentions it briefly when he’s mulling over something in a chapter.
Colton just didn’t tell him and so from there everything you’re saying is spot on from Damon’s perspective. Which is why Colton wants to explain to him, but Damon doesn’t want to hear it, he’d rather follow through on what he imagines people’s expectations are of him.
This is the best explanation ive read so far
I agree with you, I also said that because on the painel, he says he wants to hold a solo exhibition for the artist he removed from the line up, which I believe it's Damon. Without knowing what's actually happening it kinda looks like Colton didn't trust him or that he never put his name there in the first place but when you realize what happened makes sense. If I could go inside this story I would just yell at them "TALK, TELL HIM, COMMUNICATE, LISTEN, HEAR HIS SIDE" because this wouldn't have happened if they just did that instead (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
The remaining vase I think is an extended metaphor. It’s the first vase that’s shown in frame where he was happy/satsified with the work itself. While the others are all blank/lack colour, the remaining one is starting to resemble his previous works shown, with the splash of colour. I think it shows he’s slowly beginning to trust/fall in love again. And even when he felt betrayed, it’s the only work he didn’t touch which I think is significant!!!!
That's a really good point, it makes sense
( ╥﹏╥)
I forgot what chapter is but I remember Colton planned a solo exhibition for Deamon I think it was at the part where he was having a meeting with her boss after asking why Samone is missing from the list of artists and Colton said he had a planned It was on season 1
Yeah, that's basically it. The only thing I'm not sure about in your version is that I don't think Colton didn't trust Damon, since he was always so supportive and insisted a lot to make Damon start to produce pieces again. And as @Noface pointed out, he even had a meeting with his boss so she could trust him and hold Damon's own exhibition, taking him off the line up. So he really trust Damon's talent and wanted to support his work and his comeback, but since he's a dumbass bitch he just thought it was a great idea to not communicate with Damon, so here we are. But it makes a lot of sense what you gys are saying about Damon act this way and throw a tantrum all crazy just to hide how hurt and regretful he is about trusting Colton. Everything sucks i'm so sad that they as falling apart
I assumed that because in that meeting (the previous chapter there's one panel flashback of it) he says he wants to hold a solo exhibition for the artist he had removed from the line up, implying at some point he removed Damon from the line up but you have a point maybe he removed him not because he didn't trust him and then changed his mind the more he got to know Damon and decided to do a solo exhibition for him to compensate but actually because he just changed his mind and wanted him to have a solo exhibition from the beggining. I hope the next chapter explain things instead of being just sex so we can understand the situation. About the tantrum, I do think it wasn't really a tantrum and it was more like auto sabotage due to poor communication with the bonus of a unhealthy coping mechanism, where he becomes the one in the wrong as to not show the other part he was hurting, so they won't feel bad for hurting him and make them feel like they're right for doing so. It kinda makes sense since he has trust issues (and maybe some inferiority complex) from being a recessive Alpha and his ex getting with his brother, etc all that and he seems to not think his own feelings are valid or deserve being heard, but this is just my own assumption, maybe he was really just straight up throwing a tantrum jssjsjs Still someone else pointed out here, that the only vase he saved was the one that looks like it was made inspired by Coulton so, that was really sweet, if it was really a tantrum it shows that even during that he still cares for him enough to not break that one vase, I'mma go cry in a corner now :')
I love reading everyone's interpretation of things and talking to each other about the story. Thanks for everyone who replied, you guys are amazing ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I totally agree, Damon definaly gives me that vibe. I also hope that next ch is not just sex too, i need them to resolve all of this ASAP. And about the vase, the fact that Damon ends this ch breaking it also shows so much meaning to the story. I also love that we get to share our thoughts an comment again, i love interacting with people here since i don't have anyone in my life that also read BL
She aint even respecting the wish from the person she loved. The previous queen choose to save the baby knowing full well she would die, It was her choice. I see the duchess as more pety, she coudnt accept the decesead empress wish, become salty af, made the life of someone who had absoluting nothing to do with it a living hell and now is trying to bring back to life someone who died in peace, just because she coudnt accept her death.
The Duke is a piece of shit. He knew from the start that miss girlie hated the person he supposedly loved, was making her life miserable, yet he went out of his way to help her become more powerfull and now he acts like hes scared she will harm the empress, like bro, shes been harming the empress from the beggining and you know that damn well.
Also, the author really made the decesead empress name be Labia, I dont know if they didnt know the meaning or if that was to make obvious that they gay, but that is hilarious, I cant take that name seriously.
