Does anyone else also ship the two dukes together? Yes, yes, their relationship is probably platonic but… maybe not…? :)
Also them basically being Valletta’s parents, I loved that she actually got a support system (kinda) and how they protect her like she’s their kid. Aaaaah, I love it!
Also Delphine’s (very much justified) worrying about Valletta is really really cute. And Leon being completely calm as he listens to it, like he straight up laughs at him lol.
But they really do care for her and I’d think after the first 12 or so chapters showing her oppressive homelife and her fearing death at Reinhert’s hands and later escaping it, she deserves a lot of love and care from people who actually see her as a human being and can recognise how messed up her environment really was.
Like I got into this story because of the fucked up yandere ML and premise, but it’s interesting that the story recognizes that these two are deeply traumatised people who need to learn how to accept help from others and change, to let people in. And their relationship is actually developing, Valletta has caught feelings or is at least admitting that she has them, at it’s pretty cute actually.
I can’t wait to see how this will end! (☆▽☆)
