"You do not love me. You simply mourn the loss of a mere ornament you once claimed as yours."
Ahhh!!! I love manga so much. This is so cute and heartfelt

Review of advance copy
I liked this less than I liked the first volume but I thought it was still good.
my issue with this right now is in this volume the female lead comes off as kind of naive and seems like an air head at times. in the first volume it made sense for her to think her fiance loved the princess but in this volume while he is being weird he is making multiple very bold statements to her and she just acts to stupid to understand. I mean he already explained that one of the situations she thought she was a leftover in was actually just a misunderstanding so why wouldn't she wonder if there were more things she took wrong.
IDK it felt weird. volume 1 felt like she was empowered by finally choosing herself but it's different now. maybe it's just too late for him. I might be fine with that ending. I said it in my previous review but after years of neglect idk if I want them to end up together

i love princess caroline and his friends so much. i also love her friends, like wanting the best for her and thinking he is trash. i wonder how this story will continue since she still thinks hes in love with caroline and her wanting to study abroad. i feel bad for him, but also it is his fault for everything sooo.

This manga is simply all I have ever needed. Vol.1 review confirmed.

While I am still enjoying this series, I found the gag of Nicole being completely oblivious to Keios’s feelings to become a little stale in this volume. While he absolutely deserves everything that happened to him in the first volume, it’s clear that he’s really trying in this one. While I still feel a lot more sympathy for Nicole than Keios in this situation, I am hoping for some—any—kind of change in their dynamic to happen soon.
In this volume, Keios is clearly trying his best to make things right and I commend him for that! He spent a lot of time explaining the situation to the classmates he thinks could potentially help him and puts their suggestions to action. We get to see a completely new side to him here, as it becomes clear that he truly is just an incredibly awkward boy when it comes to romance . The flashbacks to his childhood also really helped me understand exactly what kind of person he is. This by no means excuses how he treated Nicole in the past, but it makes it clear that he’s not a bad guy at heart.
So, we watch as he follows the suggestions of the people who know Nicole better than him…to no avail. No matter what, she doesn’t understand the fact that he likes her. And at first, I was completely on her side—he does have a track record for only talking about his female best friend, after all. But as time goes on and he switches up his tactics, her not understanding his feelings even a little bit started becoming a little strange. I mean, he basically hugged her and yelled “she’s mine, stay away!!” to another man in front of a room full of people, and she still didn’t understand he has feelings for her.
Putting aside my mild annoyance at Nicole’s obliviousness for a moment, I do really love her character! She’s an avid reader, and it seems like it’s her love of reading that will open up her world. She spends the majority of her time studying the language of a neighbouring country so that she can read their fairy tales, slowly becoming more and more competent. She had already known that women who live in this neighbouring country are permitted to work—something that the women of the kingdom cannot do—but she didn’t know that she was able to become an exchange student and temporarily move there.
So, potentially, she could study over there, find a good job, and stay there forever! Had she not picked up reading and studying the language, her only option would have been becoming a housewife in the kingdom, essentially being forced to mary Keios. Now that she has more options…I wonder what she’ll do.
I think that Nicole may be the type of character that just really doesn’t care about her own romance so long as she has her fairy tales, but there have been a select few panels that have me doubting that. Perhaps Keios just hurt her too deeply that she’s not allowing herself to see his intentions now that he’s trying? Either way, I hope she can have her best happy ending.

After reading volume 1, I needed to read this second volume as soon as possible. I adore regency/regency-inspired stories and seeing this in manga just blew my mind. In the first volume I can understand completely why FMC feels and reacts the way she does, since she literally has no answers or information as to why her fiance was being the way he was. But, in this volume...I don't know, I simply did not enjoy as much seeing the misscomunication grow even worse. One thing is to feel indiference or hurt, but MML literally and openly made his feelings (and errors) known. Yet, for some weird and *ugh* reason she simple doesn't even acknowledges them. It feels like he's literally talking to a wall. I absoluely adore she stands for herself and how she's growing to be but at the same time, if she was truly is growing to be emotionally mature, she would aknowledge that she herself misundertood him and their situations as well [and no, I am not saying it is her fault, not that everything will magically change]. It's fustrating in this volume since is not only him trying to make amends, but also the princess and yet...she still takes whatever is told to her and change it to what she understands is going on. *SIGH*
It truly breaks my heart seeing that he's a sweet guy (who's also a kid, doomed to make errors as any of us) who's simply so enamored and nervous of his lovely fiance that he created this whole misunderstanding. Also, I do not like how everyone treats him like trash-how is that going to help him? Anyhow, since I'm not even sure if they will end up together, all I hope is that they at least can come to terms and remove all the missundertandings between them.
I do love seeing scenarios with books (being a book lover and librarian myself); but my most favorite scenes were probably when he gives her the gift, and when he continues to stare at her in awe that his little gift was accepted and used by her in such a cute way for the ball.
I'm giving this volume a 4 because of how overall I still love the story and the art, but it would be a 3.5 for the story alone. *End of rant lol*

Once again I wish this was sooo much longer. I do like where it left off and think that exciting things are about to happen.
Nicole was dreadfully naive in this though.
The first book had clear misunderstandings and miscommunications, in this even when Keios is being more vocal about his intentions than he's ever been (seven pages worth), and declaring them in public no less, Nicole just completely brushes them aside.
I would understand questioning Keios and wondering if he was genuine or if he was just trying to repair his reputation, but Nicole doesn't seem to even think about such things and willfully ignores nearly everything he said.
Princess Caroline in the library was absolutely hilarious though. She totally committed to the -wrong- part of her bit, but ya know, at least she committed lol
I believe there was a line that was mistranslated, "They're not wont to rekindle an old flame simply because the man comes begging." It would have made sense if the sentence was "They're not [LIKELY] to rekindle an old flame simply because the man comes begging." .
Nicole is starting to get a bit of a backbone, I just wish she'd finally start to develop one around Keios and tell him what she actually wants.
Keios is confessing all of the things to his peers that he should be explaining to Nicole himself, but refuses to do so because he thinks it'll be embarrassing? He just told like 5 people, but telling his fiancee would be too much?

Now that Keios has learned that he accidentally rejected Nicole at every turn, he’s doing everything he can to win her back. Unfortunately for him, every time he tries to make things right, everything goes completely wrong! Meanwhile, Nicole is as happy as can be now that she’s put her expectations on the table. She’s discovered her independence and is content with the future she sees for herself, and it doesn’t involve romance… or possibly Keios at all?!
I’ve been really enjoying this series so far. This time around, Keios has learned the error of his ways and is trying to fix it. Along the way, we get to know some of the characters a little more, especially Keios and the reasons behind his previous actions. It was another fun volume! I especially loved watching Nicole really embrace doing what makes her happy while Keios chases after her.
What I enjoy most about this series is that there aren’t any quick fixes that magically make everything better. While it’s fun to see things run a lot more smoothly than they do in reality, it’s always good to see someone have to actually try to learn from their mistakes and put in the work to fix things with the person they hurt. I also love that Nicole has moved on, so it’s going to be pretty hard for Keios to mend things. It’s been fun watching his misadventures while Nicole is living her best life with the support of her peers the whole way. I’m looking forward to checking out the next volume!

Da ich Band 1 schwer aus der Hand legen konnte, mochte ich kaum die Zeit bis Band 2 abwarten. Ich weiß, dass 3 Sterne eigentlich für meine Begeisterung für viele schwer nachvollziehbar sind. Aber es gibt immer noch Mittel und Wege um die Beziehung der beiden in die eine oder andere Richtung zu kippen. Anstatt von sich aus einmal ein intensives Gespräch mit Nicole zu suchen, versucht Keios über Umwege ihre Aufmerksamkeit für sich zu gewinnen.
Lustigerweise geht dabei meist mehr schief als dass es gelingt. Und als ihr dann auch der Prinz eines anderen Landes offenbart, dass sie in sein Land zum Studieren kommen kann, scheint für Keios endgültig alles verloren.
Können die beiden doch keinen Weg finden, um ihre Gefühle füreinander offen darzulegen? Ich bin schon sehr gespannt, wie sich die Geschichte noch weiterentwickeln wird und welche lustigen Versuche noch unternommen werden oder mit welchen lustigen Mitteln Keios Versuche untergraben werden. Grinsend kann man hier wirklich nur die Szenen zur Kenntnis nehmen.
Aber mir fehlt tatsächlich etwas das Feingefühl, dass wirklich transferiert, was Keios empfindet. Und das funktioniert nur mit ehrlicher Kommunikation. Daran muss er echt noch arbeiten, insbesondere wenn es darum geht, dass er nicht einfach nur eine Ehe auf dem Papier haben will.

Review of advance copy
Well, it seems bro's in a bit of a pickle~
Not only does Lady Nicole still believe that her fiancé, Lord Caius, is in love with the princess but now she wants to study abroad!
Honestly I have nothing but support for Nicole, and it's only to be expected that she would be indifferent to Caius' sudden change in demeanor. He hasn't done much up till now to give any indication that he cares about their relationship, so what's a girl to do?
I do also agree with another review, however, which mentioned that she felt like a bit of an airhead for misunderstanding all of his efforts. Her reactions made complete sense in volume 1, but you would also expect her to pick up on some of his bold moves/statements since then..
All in all, I'm looking forward to continuing the series and seeing how things will develop from here! It seems Caius has his work cut out for him if he expects to change Nicole's mind!
Rating: 3.5/5

4/6 stars
She feels purposefully obtuse. I loved the premise of this, she is over it and doesn't want to just be waiting for her fiance to notice her so she is going to be the master of her own joy but now she seems almost stupid. He is blushing looking at her... it must somehow be about the princess. I am glad she isn't giving in to him and going on these little dates but it cause she is like oh it must really somehow be about the princess.... I can't. I feel a bit frustrated I don't know how much longer this schtick can go on for before I start believing she is an idiot instead of the brave and strong women I thought I she was in the introduction.

at a certain point she is being willfully ignorant lol. when the man literally declares his feelings for you, there's no other option unless you are a completely clueless idiot. I do like the idea of her continuing to find her independence, especially because I think if they do finally get together it would be so much sweeter if it was because of choice and not obligation/necessity. but I was hoping for just a smidgen of progress here!! the comb was nice, and this man is truly learning how to grovel for sure.

It’s crazy how the miscommunication trope in romance novels is my least favorite trope and yet in manga, I’m just like “teehee, the ML is so dumb lol”. maybe because it’s played for comedic purposes vs. drama. This was another silly fun time, I’m enjoying the fleshing out of our main and supporting cast of characters, as well as the little bits of world building we’re now getting. Here’s hoping Keios can stop being a bit of an idiot and Nicole can be a little less clueless/give him a chance someday lol
Review of advance copy
I loved the first volume so freaking much, so I am so glad that I could get to the second one so soon!
This book is a perfect example of how overthinking just makes things so much worse. Kaios was so busy trying to not look silly in front of his fiancée, that he ended up ignoring her entirely. I should feel bad for him, but at the same time, I feel like this is a problem entirely of his own making.
I'm looking forward to how this story will progress in the future.

More misunderstandings lol. I do find this funny but it is starting to wear thin. How oblivious is Nicole?! Maybe Keios should try to hug or kiss her but I have a feeling that’s not appropriate in this time frame?

4.5
Another hilarious volume of this Manga. Keios' complete cluelessness constantly has me cracking up. I also really enjoyed Nicole continuing to do her own thing even when Keios seems to object. An independent bookworm heroine queen!

This continues to be cute.
She is definitely very naive, and it's a little annoying that she's suddenly acting so vapid. Especially since he's being more direct like she wanted.
This is quickly turning into a cringy miscommunication manga, and I hope it doesn't FULLY go that way.
