Adelaide

Jun 26, 2020

Sometimes I too get worn out by the facades the nobles around me put on, so I can understand why Felix finds Adelaide charming. Fe's straightforward, pleasant, and intelligent. Felix refers to fem as "plucky" and I suppose that's accurate. Feir personality is what makes this manhwa worth reading. The plot involves Adele (as fe's casually referred to) becoming Duke Felix's fiance as a way to try to get the social leech Susan out of Felix's life, with the initial understanding that the engagement would eventually be called off. As you would expect from this type of story, the fake romance turns into a real romance. But unlike what seems to be the standard way of handling this type of plot, Adele doesn't pussyfoot around or hide feir budding feelings (though Felix does struggle to recognize feir own feelings for fem). Regarding Susan, Adele primarily strategizes together with Felix and Nicholas, the crown prince, and shows femself to be adept at outwitting Susan's machinations and navigating the judgment of public opinion. Adele predicts feir opponents' moves, turns some of Susan's allies against fem, and plays a role in thwarting the conspiracy against the royal family (which is related to the conspiracy against fem).
