juliana_harris3mthPostedthe story starts off nicely done, i can still picture everything, every step every street faces, etc from the first chapter. And the love story is rather sweet, i really liked a character like Claude and a Character like Camellia. there were moments where i could feel their joy or their sorrow and i believe only a good storyteller can move people with their stories. But, the story itself and the way the characters behaved at times came out a bit short at times, some necessary details were left out and it was a bit to the imagination to do the job. Many things I feel were left unexplained, especially the past referring to Laura and Gilliard (it was his name right?) like the first scene where Laura is "working" or when it was mentioned that Gilliard had known Laura for many years as in childhood (?) ... Then, it feels also a bit weird that a whole weight in the story is the possible homosexuality between Claude and Lius, but then the young king easily changed the laws. like, how does that even work? and at the end the excessive adulation towards Camellia and the kids was perhaps too much. don't get me wrong i enjoyed Claude's jealousy every second but it felt like pushing it and cheesy all together ... Anyways, there were holes on one side and extra bits on the other side... Execution wise it needed just that bit more to be just excellent.

finding Rosé lol
Rosé looked at his hand for a second, then leaned down to lift Jessica into her arms. "I'm sorry, I'm holding Jessica," she said with a smile, then walked past him. "Shall we go?" - juliana_harris3mthCommented

"I'm not," Claude said, shaking his head. "My cufflinks had fallen and just happened to roll to a stop at your feet. I dropped down to pick them up and came face to face with the most beautiful person I'd ever seen. You can't possibly imagine the confusion I felt then. I was a wreck the whole way to Eteare—no, even after we arrived." - juliana_harris3mthCommented"You have my permission to be Jessica's godfather, Ian. Now I'll ask for something in return. Name the imbeciles who dared to bully my daughter in my house. Tell me exactly what they said and did, or so help me God, I'll ensure that your name will be besmirched for all eternity."

I love Ian but everyone is like :
"For heaven's sake, Ian. Just get married!" - juliana_harris3mthCommented
this butler is definitely searching to die before his time lol
The butler cleared his throat as Ian clutched the photo to his chest like it was a precious jewel. "My lord, all children take after their parents. His resemblance to Lord Claude is what stands out to me, frankly." - juliana_harris4mthCommented

Part 2. From Girl to Boy - juliana_harris4mthCommented
Gaior or Gaoir ?
Both nations had been left with nothing after the prolonged conflict. Thus, they created the Neutral Territory, a place of armistice, between Nante and the river and split it evenly between the Gaoir and Ihar houses. With that, the two nations finally had a semblance of peace. - juliana_harris4mthCommented
this is good
"I asked if you yelled at my brother." - juliana_harris4mthCommented
they do now 😂
Everyone knew that Marilyn Selby, the daughter of Marquis Selby, fell in love with Lord Claude at first sight. She was likely to become the future duchess since House Bale didn't have a daughter. - juliana_harris4mthReplied to Lioness18
same question ❓
The ladies laughed uncomfortably at their conversation. They secretly hoped to marry their daughters into House Bale. - juliana_harris4mthCommented
yeah the more i read this the less i believe Camellia's mother did it. so i will read this to make sure whoever was responsible pays for it. I bet the reason Camellia was so precious to her mother has to do with the fact she loved the marquis dearly, i don't think she would have done something to hurt him ...
Anatasia's reaction wasn't unreasonable; it was true that Kieran's health began deteriorating after he had been found by the frozen lake. The marquis also felt outraged whenever he thought about that night. Even if he gave his heart to that woman, he could never forgive her for hurting his only son. - juliana_harris4mthCommented
I also think she was framed, and was she really acting all mighty after getting pregnant ? idk idk
Furious, the marquis questioned all of the servants to find the culprit, and they all named the pregnant woman. The woman, who was almost due, was thrown out of the manor that night. She cried of her innocence in the matter, but the marquis—livid he had almost lost his only son—ignored her pleas. Anastasia cursed her, vowing to follow her to the ends of the earth and kill her if she bore a son. - juliana_harris4mthCommentedThen one winter day with especially biting winds, Kieran disappeared. Anastasia felt the heavens come crashing down. She frantically searched the estate and eventually found him abandoned stark naked by the frozen lake. But by the grace of the gods, he managed to survive.
