So at a tension breaking point, the Duke literally forces Leona to leave and she does. Its meant to be emotional, but honestly it feels incredibly clinical to me, her emotions are kinda... there but not really

The whole thing feels empty and derivative, with a bizarre point of Luca (a potential ML) literally morally blackmailing her into returning to the Duchy with some weird coercion followed by a cold drop to make her panic

He legit had a moment where he blamed the FL for his daughter being ab*sed by her nanny despite how the nanny was abusing the daughter long before the FL came into the picture.

like! Who the f*ck is Lucca y'all???!! Oh my gawd!!! This dudes description throughout the novel really makes one desire for the next chapter to have some sort of revelation.

like the closet from Chronicles of Narnia, let me through that door to see them secrets!!!

bwahaha!

And when the duke kicked her out!! I was like, 'no f*cking way!!!' I could tell right there and then that THAT vanilla face motha sucka was a bit mental. I also wished that the scene where she ran through the forest, once kicked out, lasted a bit longer. Not that she hadn't suffered enough throughout the novel, but! a bit more suffering would've definitely been a plus for the audience. Like Leonardo Di'Caprio in, 'The Revenant'. Struggle against nature and shit?ll!!! 👍✊🤌✌️🤙 come on, you know that would've added more flavor to this novel. She was barely out and Luca already came to fetch her and emotionally shake her up her ground, like she was some sort of fruit shake. And... Who the f*ck is Luca!! This authors really messing up with my psychological sane mind... Anyways~ The way that the FL began to indulge the child along with her ret*rded dad, really made me cringe... the kid ain't got no reigns on her. She's like a wild loose horse in the middle of civilization, kicking and biting everyone in sight. Is this how the author portraits how children should be raised, or, how they are currently seen in his/her eyes? You ain't got to whoop them like a UFC fighter, trying to knock some sense into them, but they don't even say, 'no' to the kid?. Like it's some forbidden word through the novel? Yo, this kid calls her supposed mother a rabbit!!! Even comes to a point of calling her a 'dog'! A f*cking dog! When she eats meat! And! Worst part of all here, they're all f*cking okay with that! What the f*ck y'all. They really raising up the villainess to be a selfish prick. To the core!

she said her blood related father, who adores her, should get his ass kicked... she said that... to his f*cking face y'all!! Yooo! That sh*t mad disrespectful! If I ever said that to my dad, home slice would've knocked my front tooth right out with a jab... I guess I did get some sense knocked in me as a child... but nonetheless!

it made me regroup my thoughts and think that I might've made something so bad, it drove my parents to raise their hands against me. Really makes you ponder on your actions, you know?

I can practically dodge a boxer, at how much practice at dodging, I got from flying objects from my parents. So you definitely pick up some skills while being psychically educated.

And Then again, I never been so rich that I could make a room out of chocolate on the call, like the dumb duke did 😂 so I guess it could be normal to be that arrogant with so much moolah to spend on useless shit.

"Oh, I hope you get along with my daughter" and as soon as the FL had a strong bond with the kid he was like: "Uhuh I'm gonna have another wife and throw you in the tr*sh..."

The center of the mystery is the character Luca, who apparently uses magic to manipulate the memories everyone in the manor so he can live there without question. But there is no excuse, no backstory, no hidden identity surrounding this character. He looks exactly like the ML with different color eyes, but is not suspected to be a relative. He dresses like a knight but doesn't perform a knight's duties. In the beginning he only appears when the Duke is gone, suggesting dual personality, but then he shows up at the same time as the Duke. And the MC just does a poor job of trying to figure it out, not even directly asking the Duke about this person's existence.

One day the daughter hates MC, the next day she decides she suddenly likes MC, in a tsundere way. One minute MC says she absolutely won't leave, and the next she's left because... honestly I can't pinpoint a substantial reason why, only that the Duke told her to leave in a sad rather than angry way. One minute the Duke stubbornly hates her and doesn't believe anything she says, no matter the evidence she piles, then she disappears he suddenly misses her and thinks she's right.
