리에타에게 다시 한번 자신의 마음을 전하는 킬리언. 하지만 리에타는 자신의 처지와 전남편에 대한 죄책감에 차마 킬리언의 마음을 받아주지 못하고 그의 마음을 거절하려 한다. 그런 리에타에게 진심을 내보이며 마음이 열릴 때까지 기다리겠다고 고백한 킬리언은 이후 리에타와 함께 많은 시간을 보내며 좀 더 적극적으로 다가가기 시작한다. 킬리언의 마음에 보답할 수 없는 리에타는 혼란스럽고 미안한 마음을 표현하지만 킬리언은 그런 그녀에게 마음이 준비될 때까지 그냥 그렇게 있어 달라며 다시 한번 기다림을 약속하는데....

i loved this volume of the manhwa. the way killian professed his affections for rieta but told her to take as much time as she needs. he's so patient and kind, and it's really refreshing to see this livelier side of him; we usually see him being the brutal archduke so it's nice to see. i lovedlovedloved the harvest festival episodes, because they truly bring out the inner child in you (and the characters). overall, i'm so excited to see where this goes eeeeeeeekkkk !!
I cannot even begin to describe why I love this story so much. The writing is amazing. The way it perfectly balances between cute, relationship development, mysteries and a grander plot, I am all here for it.
Even though Rietta has repeatedly rebuffed Killian's attempts at romance, he persists and spends as much time as possible in her company. He is trying very hard to be attentive and charming while still respecting her wishes.
A new story arc about a dangerous adventure in Dragon Valley brings Rietta and Killian much closer together.
OKAY, finally, the plot THICKENS! I just know that Killian is gonna be like, "Rieta, my darling, don't worry about the curse and your demon friends and your possible demon dad"
I don't know how many times I can be speechless with both their character development and their character themselves, but this is me being proud as a fan girl.
Disappointed the story went with the cliché "the character of humble origin actually turned out to be from a super duper important magical bloodline" trope.
