Peacock feathers must be really heavy to hold up I guess?

What if Damian is Tyra’s dad? He is the queen’s guard after all

This book turned me (F29) back into my middle school self - the pain was so sharp, the highs were so sweet, I couldn’t put it down for anything. I stayed up all night repeatedly to feverishly find out what happens next. When I reached the end of English translations I resorted to trying to learn Korean to read the original to find out what happened next. I’m sad that the author Suji Kim was so hurt by the unofficial translations, but they fed me when the beautiful Manta manhua took too long for me to wait. I’ve bought this book basically 2 times now - here in Webnovel, and in Korean Ridibooks - I hope that makes up for it dear author. I’ve been very hurt in my life by childhood sexual abuse & later abusive cheating boyfriend of 6 years. This sounds so cliche but Maxi & Riftan helped me believe in love again. Suji Kim paints such a vivid, beautiful, painful world. She breathes life into her characters, giving them flaws that go beyond a simple label of “stutterer” and “low class knight”. She lets them grow, she lets them make mistakes, she lets them reach their lowest points - not just by external circumstances but by their own making. I think it’s been 3 years now that I read this story, I will never forget it. It didn’t magically heal my heart, but it helped me grieve and it helped me have hope again that I can find and grow love with someone. Fast forward to today - I am living with my amazing, loving boyfriend of 1.5 years. He shows me great love and patience, and I think we shared a moment with Maxi and Riftan last night the ending of book 2: a quiet, loving, tranquility, under the oak tree. Bravo Suji Kim, you changed my life for the better, I am forever grateful.

I posted my review to the side story first, but it’s the same for the original novel: Such a beautiful story, it makes me wish I could read it again for the first time over and over again. It turned me (F29) back into my middle school self - completely gripped by a story that I stayed up day and night for 3 days because I need to know what happens next. I’m very tired now so I hope I can finally sleep and dream of this story

Such a beautiful story, it makes me wish I could read it again for the first time over and over again

Just noticed - what if he actually gets a crown for her?? 😭 Ruth already commented that he’s basically a king in Anatol 👀

Ugh these lines in Koshair’s mind hurt my soul & give such a good background on not only Navier’s stolen childhood but for why Koshair is so doting & fiercely protective on Navier. 😭 he had to watch his little sister go through that with no way of helping her 😭💔 such a shame the WEBTOON omitted these lines

Do y’al think his overblown anger with Navier’s interaction with foreign men is due more to indiscriminate possessiveness that he felt like he could block with the foreigner label or is it specifically that a foreign lover of hers wouldn’t be someone that he could control as the Eastern Empire’s Emperor? This is my 2nd time reading this webnovel through and this particular note keeps nagging at me
