The story pace is too slow c'mon just be a little fast. Let the FL know that she is cured of her illness and will not die and have a fairytale romantic life with the Duke....
Like I don't mind where a story goes at very slow pace and shows character development, nice plot progression but it's not about anxiety I hate when there is stupid misunderstanding between MC and FL thinks she doesn't deserve him etc etc. Like why he values you so much appreciate it and stick to him. If she thinks she is going to die why not die in hands of your loving partner, it makes death so easy. That's it.
I'm ready to become a mom who stepped up for Blake. Can I have the Daddy Emperor.
