Now, Elestia is a shut-in bookworm like me, I can relate so much lol. Facing the hostile environment of a royal court would challenge anyone, but she is doing so well and has a strong spirit! Typical for this genre, she's having a hard time believing in her kinda-husband's love even though she can literally hear his deepest, most secret thoughts - but I am confident that they're going to grow as a couple, and maybe one day she'll become the empress after all! I'd love to see that.
However, as sweet as the romantic plot line is, as hauntingly the conspiracies and manipulations at the emperor's court are creeping in and slowly building up. I'm hooked and I really wanna know where this is headed! What does the emperor's advisor want? What's with the rivaling sorceress? Can't wait to find out!
The art is beautiful and so sweet, I adore it. And!! I am in love with the change of genre mechanics, for this is no Cinderella story. It's so nice to see all the love Elestia's family is showing for her. Maybe it can help the emperor at some point with being a little less stern and ruthless ^-^
