I read the translation of this by Rainofsnow (killer translation btw) and omg I’m so impressed that the author finished it in 5 months??? Like what??? And they considered it a small story??? Crazy stuff. Truly talented. And someone tell me how this Korean author engaged so deeply with Western media! It’s truly incredible, the range the author can tap into.
This is literally my favourite tragic story. I started by absolutely devouring the manhwa and then I just needed more, my god…
Story is basically, Ian Kerner, a young pilot is forced to abandon his home city of Leoarton to protect the capital of the Empire. He suffers interminable guilt from this decision, and becomes irrevocably attached to the lone survivor of his hometown, Rosen Walker.
Rosen, on the other hand, is an orphan who is bought out for marriage by a cruel and avaricious man named Hindley Haworth. He’s got a wife named Emily whom he workhorses for cash at his apothecary, and who is a witch…Rosen’s only solace while in this abusive relationship, and with the war going on, is Sir Ian Kerner’s handsome face on posters and his sonorous voice through the radio.
People of Leoarton…we will protect you.
Anyways, one man’s blood, one wish, Magic. Those are the requirements to become a witch.
Eventually, Rosen kills Haworth. How could she not? He beats his wives until they bleed, makes them work for money, and emotionally manipulates them with love bombing and psychological warfare. The murder scene…chilling but amazing. Rosen really felt no remorse whatsoever. Feminine rage, huh?
The title ‘Your Eternal Lies’ is perfect…Rosen tries to explain herself, but is ignored by the male judges (‘didn’t your husband have a reason to beat you?’), so during her main hearing, she goes down kicking and says she didn’t do it. The idea being that no matter what she said, it’d fall on deaf ears. What an incredible symbol 😭 author, you’re a genius.
Anyhow, Emily is allowed to escape to Walpurgis, island of witches, while Rosen pulls a count of Monte Cristo (she’s literally held at a top security prison on the Island of Monte, from which she digs a tunnel out with a spoon) and then is escorted to Al Capez (yes, like Alcatraz) for a life sentence. By none other than Sir Ian Kerner.
Cue the dramatics.
Anyways, basically he has a PTSD driven attachment to her, and she probably has a PTSD driven attachment to him, and they help each other with the deepest darkest insecurities they each have and it’s lovely and beautifully and far too much for me to handle.
Literally the most beautifully tragic thing I’ve read. I mean, it’s like an artefact you admire for its beauty from all angles. It really is like what I imagine Les Mis, or Dunkirk would be like. Beautiful tragedy.
And when he gives her his red muffler at the end, I teared up.
Henry and Layla were the best wing…people. Henry for the much needed comic relief, Layla for the much needed innocence in this brutally despoiled world.
AGH I adore this story. Would never be able to tap into emotions so deep, to be honest, but it’s incredible to have your emotions stretched like this to the point of snapping.
