Ricardo really does love Olivia that much, huh? going out of his way to buy something she wants just so she can be happy. at this point, it's hard to doubt Ricardo's feelings for Olivia as nothing more than genuine. great chapter as always, and i'll continue to look forward for more đ
it's become his catchphrase at this point
ohhh~ is someone jealous?
ngl, this made me chuckle a bit
epstein?
ummmm, about that...
i think that's the MC's nickname for her
Rown doubling down with his decision is the worst possible thing he could've done. after this, his relationship with his children will forever be broken. i get it, he saw the memory of his own daughter dead. but, the way he was going about it, trying to rationalize his detestment with Hanna's passion for the sword is incredibly scummy and pretentious of him. he is pitiable, yes, but he deserves every bit of what's coming for him. amazing chapter btw. thank you đ
the struggles of parenthood, this one is. no matter how much Rowen thinks he's keeping his own daughter safe by forcing Hanna to give up the sword, he fails to realize within himself that it was his own fault to begin with. had he not been so cold and harsh to her when she first aspired to learn swordsmanship, Hanna would more than likely have realized along the way that her talent did not meet her aspirations. instead, with his rejection, he had inadvertently lit a fire inside of Hanna to prove him wrong even if it kills her. both sides are not inherently wrong with their intentions, but Rowen's execution in portraying that was beyond poor. because of this, no matter how well-intended Rowen can be in terms of his daughter's future, Hanna will forever see his continued insistence of giving up the sword as him denying her her dream, rather than his worry for her well-being
Ruin will never know peace as long as these two are still around
