@Lolwasn that would be the case if she met the OG mc in person herself but she didn't like he said she based him off of rumors even if they were true for the passed OG mc, She met the new mc for her FIRST time and still based him off rumors and didn't try to see if they were true from personally experience, even after her developments good for her but still wouldn't want romance not only that his personality, way of life now and what he wants to achieve and become doesn't need romance intertwined in the story it would be a unnecessary and a unwanted plot, not only that mc doesn't need a "strategist or mastermind" when he is that himself, what would she bring to the story being with him or any other girl in this type of plot, a tea party to prove herself or her husbands, strolling through the garden telling him don't go or how worried she is for him or how he scared her... I can go on and on but if u want romance that's most likely what you'll get, he even said he's not bout to stay in one place and will be traveling, and u guys are forgetting he's an old man in a young boys body his mentality is intelligent he's not worried about little girls when he's trying to secure his future so let's not wish for the author to ruin his personality just because u guys wants romance.
