킬리언을 용서하고 축복을 내리기 위해 하비투스 대사원에서 축성 의식을 거행하기로 한 아베르사티 황비. 호시탐탐 킬리언의 목숨을 노리던 황비가 그의 복위를 추진하면서까지 이 자리를 만든 이유는 뭘까? 황비와 킬리언의 살얼음을 걷는 듯한 재회가 끝나고, 침실로 향한 킬리언은 황비의 사촌동생이자 대제사장이 옷장 안에서 죽어 있는 것을 발견한다. 용서의 의식을 주관할 사제 그리고 황비의 혈족을 살해했다는 누명을 쓰면 아무리 킬리언이라도 처벌을 피하지 못할 것! “그대를 위해 내 여러 가지 선물을 준비하였습니다.” 하비투스 사원을 향해 불어오는 피바람을 킬리언과 리에타는 피할 수 있을까?
Yea, I know—the plot thickens. Just when I can finally breathe from the suffocating grip of Havitus around my neck, here comes a plague towards Axias. Truly, I'm not devastated. :) Anyway, I love the art style so much. And, I could have sworn the vibe of the first few parts of the first volume reminded me of Wuthering Heights. I really love this.
you guys...this is amazing!! OMGOMGOMG I AM LOVING THIS !! my reviews are definitely not going to be longer than 50 words bcs im going through this manhwa SO FAST i cant even distinguish the events of each of the volumes 🤍
i love this. i genuinely adore seeing: i. killian worrying about rieta 🤭 ii. rieta nurturing her abilities and becoming stronger + more confident!! iii. the girls of the east annex/harem bcs in reality they're not mistresses but spies, assassins etc who help killian on his missions omg iv. charlotte's character!! she's such a vibe v. the artwork: genuinely so beautiful (definitely not in any particular order)
maryam i hope that whenever you come back from hiatus, you come back with a smile on your face which will (hopefully) grow when you see me literally FLYING through this manhwa 💗
I love our "harem" gang of concubines that are all secret warriors, assassin's and sorcerers! They are very cool and I love how caring they are towards each other and how much they care about their mission. Especially love the relationship between Rietta and Giselle!
The relationship is developing, he cares so much for her even tough he doesn't dare to admit it. Going to be interesting to see how long this will take. I am a big fan of the pacing this far.
the pacing is slow and I’m not sure where the story is headed but I’m in for the long haul. I really love the ladies of the East. I’m not a huge fan of Reita or Cillian yet but hoping they grow on me. ~ considering this ch 13-26 of the online version
The crew and a group of knights all head to the Grand Temple of Havitus by the Empress' invitation and to participate in a holy blessing. But everyone knows this is most definitely a trap from the Empress- they just have to figure out when and where and pray to the Gods that they all make it out alive.
Honestly the story took a turn I had not expected in the least but it was spectacular. Rieta is brilliant and so quick witted and the complexity of the tension between both her and killian is thick thick. This is truly a slow slow burn and here for it completely.
The banter between killian and the empress has me on my toes and the cunning schemes *chefs kiss*.
The ending of this volume!! Criminal. She better be alright..
Omg the Ladies of the East wing!!!!! That's what I'm talking about. If you haven't picked this up then you are missing out. The action and depth of detail with the powers/abilities and skills. Storyline of the two main characters isn't complete and just keeps getting better! I hope this gets picked up one day for an anime adaptation.
4.5, the slow burn is slow burning 😫, wasn't expecting the fantasy / ppl having powers element but i like it, also, we're getting to know a bit more about the characters (even though they're still pretty mysterious) and they seem super interesting, lowkey wish her daughter is still alive and hope we'll see her later in the other volumes.
Watching two mature characters fall in both love and despair is not something you get to see everyday (in books especially) it's beautifully written and the world building is again..as i said before immaculately done.
