Spoiler Duke Ashillean’s Contractual Marriage / The Duke of Ashleyan's Contractual Marriage

The Sis and MC give me the vibes of the queen and the duke from Queen Cecilia's pants. With their hairdos and haircolors and that the red haired willingly gave up the succession rights to the blond one. And the laid backness of the red hairs. Lol
Who knows if the long white haired dude is not made after the looks of the exotic dark haired beauty from the other story.

 

Okay but the emperor sis seems soooo sussss !! Uno classic paranoia that the one who helped me will take it away from me so I’ll give them te worst situation. By do I feel like her and the other two dukes might betray her ??????? I really hope im wrong

 

Spoiler: The ML is actually relatable what the frick?

This is the 7th life of the ML. He's basically the MC of every novel where the FL goes back in time when she dies, which makes him oddly relatable? His personality and thoughts are also super entertaining, he's not the cold type or the cutesy type but he actually feels like he could be MC of his own story.

He even uses his knowledge of MC's blood oath to propose a three-year contractual marriage to her, in order to survive being killed as the new emperor has killed him in all of his past lives no matter how much he tried to avoid his fate. In his 1st life he lived in debauchery to appear incompetent to his tyrant family then he was killed when the rebellion came, then he tried to pledge loyalty to his brother to suppress the rebels, he also pretended to be a woman in one life but was caught, finally he decided to join the tower and survived for now. He wants to marry MC as she's a highly favored and powerful duke who can keep him safe from the emperor.

I was honestly super behind little sis until she started waging war conquering other nations for the sake of her ambition while asking her older sister to risk her life for no other reason than a better title, then once again for a shinier throne, and then she finally sent her to the worst territory ever the heck? Might be because she trusts her and relies on her a lot but my theory is that she might resent her a little for suddenly leaving her alone with a huge responsibility (that she was not prepared for) to go to the monastery and live a comfortable life herself.

 

Spoiler: Free Manhwa Raws

Spoiler: Romance

The romance begin fairly early in manhwa. They ended up going all the way in chapter 13 of manhwa.

 

Why are yall so sus of the sis she clearly loves her and she even stopped her from marrying that dude with the eyepatch because he damaged her shoulder normal manhua would've made her forgive him but idc if it was war if my sister got damaged by somebody and I'm king I'm not letting her marry him.

 

Because sending her to difficult quests for vanity and then sending her to the worst territory as a duke ???? I mean doesn’t seem like something you’d do to your fav. I mean there’s those other two as well. Gut feeling says the emperor and the two dukes will try and farm MC

 

wats the ending like

 

I was also suspicious of the sister’s motives but for now I think the most reasonable explanation is that MC is the most competent and trusted person for the new empress, so for the sake of the country the sister has to think as a ruler, not as a sister, so she’s sending MC to those places knowing that she will make it a success.
I have a feeling that the sister has some big plan for the future, but I think even if it exists it’s favourable to MC.

 

Because she:
1. Asked her sister to wage wars to conquer other kingdoms so she can become an "emperor" instead of just a "king".
2. Asked her sister to slay a dragon so she can put the scales for her throne. (Umm???)
3. Granted an isolated dangerous territory crawling with monsters to her (just because she's "trustworthy"? is nobody else in the entire empire strong enough to subdue these monsters)

Asking her to risk her life to help with the rebellion to help the country and take revenge is one thing, because it served a higher purpose of helping their countrymen and getting justice for her parents and other victims. But the rest, I'm not so sure about. Frankly, I would not continuously endanger the life of my sibling and only surviving family member for the 3 reasons above (especially since FL in the start wants nothing to do with these things). There may well be good reasons for her actions- after all, the story is only getting told from FL's POV. I'm not passing judgment on her yet because she seem to be a mysterious character with some depth, however her actions does make her sus in my book.

Also, while FL was professing her oath of loyalty to her, she bit her lip. This is just pure speculation, but she seems to have some resentment towards the FL.

 

I think sister's character is more complex and it is not something like evil white lotus or evil sister. She is like all those noble rulers who used to be good but slowly get addicted to power and are ready to ruin anything in their path. Doesn't matter how many innocent they have to sacrifice. She is like a person who was once helpless but doesn't want to be in that position ever again. Her sister, FL, is the strongest weapon in her hand and she is making full use of it. She might love her in her own way, but she also has faith in her sister's skills and know she can handle the things she is asking for, maybe even forgetting that her sister is also a human.

 

Did they really give away their first child like that??? You know... It's your child... Even she planned to make her second child the heir, i mean like, come ooonnnn... Should I say back what she said to the count? "Are your child just objects to you?"

 

In recent chapter ml mentioned his regression and in one of those life he saw something regarding one eye patch duke and MC i think.. care to explain plz

 

I dunno about the sis, but when she told the story about the “lace” to the one-eyed duke, saying that Rubiana gave it to her anyways.. It’s like she’s implying that when the time comes that she’ll ask Rubiana for Ruimond’s head, Rubiana will give it to her without a second thought. Like Rubiana will always choose her. It could be that the Emperor is really trusting her sister OR she has a hidden agenda. I just hope that the sister emperor is good

 

That's because yall are soft and are thinking from a civilian stand point she's the emperor not the empress and the other kingdoms would've saw the uprising as a chance so she cut their heads before they could do anything. It doesn't matter if it was her sister she's is the best soldier and the general and lets not act like the emperor wasn't on the battlefield she even killed the king and she needed to become so cold hearted to carry out the coup.

 

Setting camp for Sister Emperor spoilers.
She did say to the eye patched Duke she doesn't care if the ML steals her sister's heart, but she would kill her sister if she ever betrays her because of him.

I might be wrong, because MTL from chapter 16 of the novel, but until here, Little Sister seems like a really good Emperor.

She does seem to love her sister. But once Royalty, you always have to keep up some kind of guard.
We all now Royals have troubles with blood shed in family members.
For me, she's the perfect image of a Emperor in that aspect.

But I still want Sisterhood to prevail until the end.
Praying Sister Emeperor doesn't become the last boss to be slain.
Seeing as this doesn't have a tragedy tag, I think this is the right path. Tbh, it would leave a pretty bitter taste in the mouth to have close sisters slain each other.
Pretty depressing no matter what end they choose to go if that happens.

 

Okay just want to address this- "That's because yall are soft-" please don't assume that because you don't know us, you know nothing about us so leave our personality out of this.

Having said that, you are asking why we find her sus. Just because she has her reasons on doing things doesn't mean she's not sus. She's clearly plotting something, we just don't know what. And like I said, there's this one scene (her biting her lip when FL was swearing her oath of loyalty) that seems to signal her harboring some resentment or disappointment toward FL. Her ambiguity makes her sus- that's all. Being sus just means being suspicious- doesn't automatically mean we believe she's actually going to do bad things later, just that we think it's a possibility. Now, if you have read the novel and what you're saying about her character and actions is a fact, then by all means I will agree that while she's sus in the beginning she's actually not a bad character. Otherwise, what you're saying about her character is just your opinion and you don't actually know what she will end up doing later on in the story.

I don't want to argue because: 1. We don't have enough spoilers so I don't know enough about the character and anything else I say aren't spoilers but just opinions. 2. I don't want to clog the thread with discussion instead of spoilers. Just explaining why I find her sus because you asked, is all.

Tbh I find her more interesting than the FL lol
The FL is the straightforward kind which is nice but it's more intriguing to read about the sister's character.

 

tbh from what i see with the sister relationship is that they’re dependent to each other as master and servant not as sisters. i’m also curious about what did the sister do during the 4 years when they were separated. what did she realize and what did she learn during those 4 years. but honestly i really hope the sister isn’t the final boss or some villainess. but instead a powerful side character who is similar to medea from your throne in a way.

also i find her rational and same with the mc/fl. theyre both really strong and powerful which is 100% my type LMFAO

also regarding the “why did the sister let the mc go to the north”, i feel like it’s because she relied on her to help the north yk. before mc came the north was almost ruined and without mc the north would’ve been off from the imperial map.

im not sure if thats true tho or im just feeding myself lies that they actually have a good sister relationship compared to other manhwas.

 

I don't need to know someone personally to see if they are soft because just from the way youtype i can tell you are soft because if you wasn't you wouldn't keep using the fact that she conquered the other kingdoms because who cares about the other kingdoms, secondly how is biting her lip a sign that she holds resentment or disappointment i don't know how a lip bite could signal that but by all means have your opinion. I'm probably arguing with a female anyways so its understandable that you want the Sister to be this loving and cute person.

Yh i actually thought their relationship was fine and didn't even question the sister till i came to this thread.

 

the sister ( emperor ) is very sus. is she good? or bad? a bit of both?
if she is good then someting is wrog with her head
asking so much from her sister and giving her litttle to no reward ( u know , unfertile and dangerous land, etc)
