I was wondering whether Johann and Lize/Dana were on bad terms before the accident. It's obvious since the 1st chapter that he's a priest pretending to be her husband, but I'm interested in knowing what their relationship was before her memory loss. Is he lying to protect her or is there a darker motive behind his actions?
The problem with Riftan is that he looks strong and unbreakable but he's very insecure and that's the main reason why he can't have a proper conversation with Maxi without being aggressive/anxious. It's good that they're clearing all the misunderstandings anyway, they're truly in love with each other and that's what matters the most.
@Infunwetrust it's a dark, morbid story and tbh I've already given up on the hope that Daphne will succeed in escaping from Asherad. The memory loss expedient is actually poor, I guess the author had to find a mean to change the pace of the story but it's not working well.

@kali you're right, actually they've never left square one. It's just that ironically they used to communicate more when he was courting her and she was heartbroken after Mincheol left. I don't know if they both assume it's temporary, to me it looks like Tahea's been waiting for her to rely completely on him. As for Haesoo, I think she wants to commit to a serious relationship but her fear of abandonment is blocking her.

@Seiryuu they've never left square one istg, they haven't even formalized their relations...
I guess in next chapter Mincheol's flashback will be resumed and we'll be given a deep insight about Haesoo's miscarriage. On the other hand, I noticed that Haesoo's anxious attachment and her push and pull attitude have become exhausting. I get she's a very lonely person with a terrible past of abuse but she looks like she's emotionally stuck in her teenage years. And it's a bit annoying, because she's also a very responsible and wise adult, she's hardworking and caring. At this point of the story Haesoo and Taeha seem just traumatized people who are unable to communicate unless through s*x. I had seen a ray of hope in the chapter where Haesoo finally expressed her insecurities after the brothel incident but now they're back to square one. And they're going to live together?
Maxi... I hope she'll understand that Riftan never meant to divorce her and that they'll sort out all the misunderstandings. [By the way, I'm in love with sir Elliott]
@Grab a bowl she's the kind of girl who thinks her value lies in men's appreciation, and she's also a sheltered rich person with apparently not many experiences. I feel bad for her too, although her snotty, competitive attitude towards Haesoo isn't nice at all. Both Ari and Haesoo should evolve for different reasons and I would really like to see a change in their characters, at least to demonstrate that as good as it is to fall in love, there's no love where there are lies and manipulation.

@Seiryuu For real- it's honestly pathetic. I feel bad for Ari, but at the same time she s...
Mincheol, you irredeemable piece of s***! When you think he's already hit the bottom, he goes further and further. As if taking advantage of an immature, spoiled rich girl wasn't enough, he's also slandering poor Haesoo. The women in this manhwa need to wisen up. I pity both Ari and Haesoo for different reasons but I wish they could learn to stand up for themselves. Ari's completely blinded by her infatuation for that frigging redhead and Haesoo's moving with Taeha knowing absolutely nothing about him. I'm craving character development!
Up to now Liese looks like a pretty strong and intelligent female lead. At first she might seem sweet and naive but I guess it's because of her memory loss which makes her helpless. Too bad the first chapter already spoiled that Johann is an impostor, even though his motives are unknown. I also appreciate how the blonde officer is characterized. He's evil but smart, not the typical ra*ist pig with no brain. As he knows he'll never succeed in seducing Liese using money or blackmail, he's sowing doubts in her mind about her husband. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapters.
@Ann I totally agree with you, that's what I felt too. Even though Soo-won usurped the throne and had to atone for his terrible behaviour towards Yona and Hak, I thought he was fit to be a king. Yona has become strong and wise but she still has a long way to go, perhaps that's why Kusanagi-san decided to have her reconcile with Soo-won and chose him as a counsellor. I miss the "happy hungry bunch" so much but it's okay, the story was great anyway.

It's so nostalgic to see Zeno so warm and affectionate to Yona. I was so sad when the dragons set off and split up, though obviously they needed to catch up on their personal lives. I'm still not used to seeing Yona as a queen, somewhat I imagined she'd become a kind of free revolutionary heroine who's not interested in the throne.
Maybe I missed some details but why is Sioanna standing on the banister in the first panels? Anyway, I liked how she went mad and exposed Etienne's mistakes. It's rare to come across an assertive and outspoken female protagonist, especially in romance manhwa. Unfortunately, what she said about the two versions of him (the slave Etienne and the duke of Barenhart) is going to trigger his mental issues even more and I'm afraid that more angst in on the way for them.
So Mincheol proposed to Ari only to get money from her. This woman should wise up and kick him out of her apartment. I wish there hadn't been useless flashbacks, this chapter looked like a recap and it's time to see some action. Taeha's scheme is quite obvious by now: he doesn't just want to keep Mincheol away from Haesoo. He wants to see him ruined and humiliated after Haesoo has chosen Taeha over him. This is quite a dangerous game and I'm afraid things might not go as smoothly as he wishes.
Ugh, when you think this story has already hit the bottom, it even goes worse. That poor maid needs therapy, by the way. I don't blame her for holding a grudge but Daphne deserves pity as well.
Seriously, I'm almost hoping for some drama to happen, otherwise we'll still be running in circles!
at last she reaped what she sowed🖤

... I hope she'll be okay from now on, she's endured too much!
I hope he won't do anything to Lize.
