I find the ruve now is a completely different person from the past ruve. Tia has proven to ruve that she's worthy of being praised by others, so he won't feel inferior anymore. She has given herself time to grow into who she wants to be, not who the empress should be. So ruve has a chance to know her for who she is. She stopped ignoring her mother's existence, which seems that her ignorance before was what caused him to hate her so much. And I feel that duke in the past could've successfully poisoned the Prince against Tia in order to improve his faction of aristocrats. I feel like Ruve still has some improving to do to make it up to Tia and us as readers as we're also still not convinced he's different. Though I'm sure if the other girl came right now he wouldn't be cruel to Tia, probably just indifferent as they still haven't completely connected.

Parker is probably one of the worst male leads. He's pushy, a misogynist, creepy, and boring. He has no personality except that he loves the female lead, and the little bit of his developed personality is devoted to him being controlling. Curtis isn't much better but at least he's not annoying. Qingqing has more chemistry with the bird dude, but he almost killed her so he's reckless.
Okay...who else thought that Io and nana would become a thing or at least a thing hinted at? Like all the flags were shown. The special meeting, the misunderstanding and then making up, them saving each other, and how stinking cute they were together and how they communicated healthily. Shiokaxnana is okay but Ioxnana is like...the best ship.
