Like Wind on a Dry Branch [Manhwa] #3
마른 가지에 바람처럼 3
황비 아베르사티가 내린 핏빛 축복
악시아스를 죽음으로 내몰다
악시아스에 역병이 돌기 시작했다. 킬리언은 기사들을 이끌고 급히 악시아스로 돌아갔지만 이미 영주민들은 역병에 잠식되어 가고 있었다. 동쪽 별채도 예외 없이. 나이가 어린 안나는 빠른 속도로 상태가 나빠졌고 리에타가 도착했을 땐 이미 손을 쓸 수 없는 상황이었다. 리에타는 안나에게서 죽은 자신의 딸을 떠올리며 죄책감과 상실감에 정신을 놓고 마는데…. 악시아스에 내린 죽음의 손길을 멈출 수 있을까?

Boy, I swear. It's a fricken slow burn, and I'll die with every slightest of physical contact and every longing or hesitant touch. BUT IT SURE MAKE YOUR HEART FLUTTER. My heart aches for Anna, though.

oh my gosh i cant even express my love for this in words. my heart goes out to anna and rieta, most of all !! she's gone through so much, losing both her husband and daughter + the additional trauma. it's heartbreaking for me to see that. but the way killian cares for her health and mental state is so genuine and heartwarming - I CANT EVEN.
in conclusion, if my mom sees the hours i spent on webtoon, you will never see me on here again. xx

When i talk about SLOW BURN this is what i fucking mean. I'll be referencing this for what I need in a book. The characters,the story,the art and the development.. everything is immaculately done! The world building is really interesting and leaves so much to expect.

Napokon malo boje u dosad veoma sivom opisu glavne junakinje. Napokon malo reakcije od nje osim "Da, gospodine" i "Živim da vam služim". Iako me i dalje nervira koliko je ona požrtvovana u priči, iako faktički još uvek nismo dobili nijedan razlog koji je održava u životu. Tragedija koja se desila u ovom tomu me je baš pogodila. Nisam je očekivala tako brzo.

Vol. 3
Episode 25 ~ 34
Gods this was the most heartbreaking volume I’ve ever read on webtoons. My soul felt wrecked by the sheer amount of pain Rieta experienced from her PTSD reliving the nightmare that was loss from a pandemic. Killian has so much depth to his character.. his actions in choosing to slap her to her senses was so devastating to see. You can tell his first choice of actions in the situation (as with others I’m sure) has always been brute force and being gentle as an afterthought. You can tell he immediately regrets his actions in the panels that proceed when she comes to.
I applaud the author for their ability to convey this level of sentiment and understanding of trauma and grief riddled guilt into this volume. I cried dearly at every single detail.. like Irene at the window wearing black. She didn’t have to since no one would see her.. but she did grieve just the same.
I love how Killian is also displayed in more way now. We all know of his intelligence and wits in leadership and taking charge against his step mother. But now we see how his past’s deeds are helping him out now in current day.
The line “no I believe it is I who beholds a god amongst men” goes hard.
Side note Abbot is 100% Galdalf. And he is officially the Killian X Rieta ship club president.

Though not as action-packed as the volume before, this one has a lot of depth and development, especially with Rieta.
I do tire of the "me big man you rest" thing that happens over and over. I get they're trying to show Killian warming to her by being protective, but it just gets repetitive and annoying. Wish we got more of the ladies in the East Annex this volume, but we'll see how the next one goes. I love the new cleric character and him roasting Killian nonstop.

Ay Anna... me dolió, no llore extrañamente pero si me dolió
Pobre de la prota amigo, realmente la paso mal y sigue mal, mi vida te quiero dar un abrazo.
El prota la cuida a su manera, como necesitaba esas palabras de que no era su culpa ay

Vol 3: (Chapters 25-34)
Season 1: (Chapters 1~43)
After the battle at the Temple the group rushes back to Axis after new that a plague has infected the area- as well as some of the people in the Annex. But can they make it back in time to see their friends and stop the insidious spread?

I did not like the continual use of passive voice. If you want to use the dictions of ROYALS you can use that; however, this passive sentences felt unnecessary to me. Regardless of the language, I am loving the story.

I love slow burn, but this is ABSOLUTE TORTURE😭
Rieta is such a kind soul , she didn't deserve what she went through 😔 and poor Anna , I was looking forward to seeing her grow up.
