Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion, Vol. 2
Raeliana McMillan thought she was escaping death through her fake engagement to Duke Noah Wynknight…only to realize that he’s a whole different kind of danger! Thoughtful and flirty one moment, cold and calculating the next, Noah is quickly blurring the line between obligation and volition. On top of that, her resentful ex and Noah’s jealous admirers all seem to be plotting against her—as if she didn’t have enough to worry about. And with the heroine Noah is fated to fall for missing, Raeliana’s starting to wonder just how much her actions are changing the story…

Dont mind me while I read this baby the second time instead of reading shitty manga. I've been fed...but I'm still hungry ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Yes, he turned insane...by loving you too much, lol. (≧∀≦) please get together already! Who cares about destinated one!? Your feeling is all that matters. Come on Beatrice!!! Show yourself to them.. Let's get this over with!!!! I want Noah and Raeliana to be together already!!!!! A loving husband like Noah is worth more than 3.5 billions men!
I gotta say, the only thing annoying is Jason. He's overstepping a lot of boundaries. And he's making advances of someone who doesn't like him, made it clear she didn't like him, and is taken. Protect you love Noah!!
***************************************
Read up to ch. 65 and I'm loving it! *.*
I've started to read it with a mind that expected nothing but a cliche story, only to end up with a heart filled with sweetness. The characters are too endearing, and the story is, simply, GLORIOUS. With every chapter, I get more sucked into the story and this couple! ^^

I love Noah and Raeliana so much, this is truly a gem.
I cannot have enough of this relationship, they are beautiful together and what I love (besides Raeliana) is how Noah is not a douchebag like most of the male protagonists seem to be in books/manga with the fake relationship trope.
He's kind-hearted and cares deeply for Raeliana. I love him very much.

I realize I can't write a review with my eyes closed, but I literally just sat at my computer with a smile on my face before writing this review because I love this series. I love this couple, I love these characters, and I love the general story. It honestly upheld all my expectations coming into this second volume and was just absolutely giddy to be following Raeliana once again!
While the only thing I will mention is that I was caught off guard it wasn't quite as humorous as the first volume, my enjoyment of seeing Raeliana kick some butt was AWESOME! She was fierce and intimidating in a variety of ways in a variety of situations and couldn't help but cheer her on. Truly, I was reminded why I love her character so much because she is simply amazing! She's also as witty as ever with the Duke being just as much so (if that's the right word for it LOL)!
And speaking of him too, we were fed a lot more "romance" crumbs in this volume and completely devoured them!! I went back and reread my favorite scenes once I finished reading because I was like YESSSSSSS! LOL!! I was and am excited to see some changes in him that I hope will continue to be highlighted in the next volume!
Something I was completely surprised by in this volume is how there are more fantasy elements than I originally thought this series would have. The blurb/preview to the third volume had me even more surprised and very curious as to the world Raeliana lives in as I got the impression in the first volume that there weren't really any fantasy elements like it was shown in this volume? Definitely not a bad thing though! I quite enjoyed it, especially with that last chapter!
ADAMMMMM!! He is such a precious bean! Loved him every single moment, though *especially* when he listened to Raeliana in that one scene. Like YESSSSS!! 10,000 brownie points for him!!
Also, Nick appearance!! He's amazing and deeply loved seeing him again! Plus, the shade he throws is like a mic drop! LOL!
Overall, I continue to love this series so much and DEEPLY bummed I have to wait until April for the next volume's release! I want and need more ASAP!
Also, I LOVE this cover! <3 <3 <3

Fue más cortito que el anterior, pero tuvo mucho más drama. Tengo tanto miedo de cuando vuelva Beatrice porque su relación con Noah es muy linda y es triste ver como lo aleja por miedo a lo que pase. Ya tengo ganas de leer como continúa todo esto.

Loved the progression in Raeliana and Noah’s relationship. Very slowburn indeed. Raeliana is such a badass and I LOVE IT. Her torn up dress and noah’s blazer with the gun in hand was a LOOK. I really like the maid outfit too. She looked really cute.
Lady Shamal and her posse are such bitches and I hope they get whats coming to them lol. The whole beatrice thing is intriguing me cause wdym she isn’t a student at the school she supposedly was…? Where is she and what is she up to? Ig I will find out soon.
I just know Noah’s ass got Raeliana a dragon tribute lol. Mountian moving and all🤣

The first volume didn't do much for me, but this time around I found myself chuckling at the cheesy, over-the-top developments -- suddenly, monsters! -- and getting sucked into the petty mean-girl sparring and maneuvering. I'll keep an eye out for the next volume.

El dibujo es increíble, muy elaborado. Me encanta el personaje de Raeliana y cada vez es mas cercana a Noah. Por fin se empieza a ver detalles entre ellos y más ahora con la aparición de Justin 😣

Для мене тут є натяки, що Беатріс - злодійка (негативний персонаж), але хто зна?

Their dynamic is so freaking funny, I love how no-nonsense Raeliana is and how she doesn't allow others to get their way, I love how the duke is slowly falling and refuses to admit it, and then we have ADAM, MY BOY WITH THE DRAGON HANDKERCHIEF, THAT WAS SO FUNNY, can't wait to see what happens next!

God, it’s brutal out here.
Honestly this past season started finally starting to wrap up the questions and concerns started by the first season that got left behind for character connection. Can’t wait for the character growth out of season 3!

Only ok. This volume was missing some of the fun from the last one, although I'm still intrigued by the story!

Noah is falling hard and playground bullies are running amuck. I can’t wait for everyone to realize just how much things are going to change because of Raeliana.

Korean Manhwa (comic in full color)
That was a better cliffhanger than the first book! Still has language I didn’t care for and don’t remember from the previous times I read this series, though? I think TappyToons didn’t translate some words as harsh as this official English print edition has, so that’s been a bummer so far for these physical editions. Some of the humor and Raeliana’s reactions made me laugh in this book, but no where near as much as I remembered.
**Edit to add: I decided to stop reading this English print edition of this series after Volume 4 due to the poor translation. As someone who read the Manhwa on TappyToon years ago and also chapters in the original Korean edition, the translation choices for this edition were very disappointing as they changed the tone of main characters and many conversations. This series was changed to fit the American market with curses, slang, and crude phrases that were not in the previous editions I read. These changes affected the charm and humor dramatically for this series and made it very disappointing to read. After attempting another series translated by this translator and finding similar problems, I will be avoiding all books he translates.
View pictures of some of the content listed below on Screen It First.
Main Content-
Religion-
There is a religion in this world that has to do with a goddess (it comes into play more in the rest of the series than in this volume).
A flashback scene of Eunha being told by a shaman that she’s “fated to have a life short-lived…”.
Someone says implies she went through hell for a deadline.
A couple mentions of a school of theology; A couple mentions of being lucky; A mention of praying; A mention of someone being in Heaven.
Language + Negative-
1 ‘b****’ (female dog),
1 bastard,
2 ‘d*mn’,
2 ‘what/who in the heck’,
3 ‘hell’/‘what the hell’,
1 ‘holy crap’,
1 ‘jack***’,
3 unfinished ‘what the—‘.
Other words like ‘idiot’, ‘dang’, and ‘sucks’.
Being abducted and drugged, Being grabbed, Being threatened with a knife, Passing out, & Being bullied by other women; Seeing someone held at sword-point.
Monster are fought against and killed (some are ugly versions of deers or lions, but not evil looking); Blood spattering is shown and dead monsters.
In the original book, Raeliana is a side character that is supposed to be murdered (by poison), so Eunha is determined to stop that from happening.
A flashback scene of a woman holding a knife to her throat (threatening to take her own life) so her fiancé would come back to her, but when her goes to grab the knife, they fight and she ends up stabbed in the throat (a panel shows the silhouette of this with the knife in her throat and dark splatters around); Another panels shows her wrist with blood on the floor.
Someone orders the death of Raeliana by swiping his thumb across his throat when talking about her; Raeliana does the same thing later when talking to the man; A side character was drafted as a child solider and another character calls him a killer.
There is a scene of Raeliana aiming a gun at a man’s crotch and a wet spot appears on his pants after shooting at him (implying that he wet himself).
A side character tells Raeliana about her mother always telling her when she was younger to not go to the capital because she would be seized, have her eyes and organs plucked out and her limbs chopped off (Raeliana is horrified by the mother’s warnings).
Mentions of a kidnapping & kidnapper; Mentions of con-men and being engaged to a woman for her money then killing her after getting married; Mentions of monster hunts, hunting, & using their blood to lure other monsters; A few mentions of deaths; A few mentions of bullies; A couple mentions of a plan to poison/kill someone; A couple mentions of possible hangings; A couple mentions of wars; A couple mentions of alcohol & thinking someone is drunk (due to actions that aren’t common for the person); A couple mentions of rumors.
LGBTQ + Other-
There is a male character (Monsieur Nick) that is a fashion designer that helps Raeliana with her clothes who is flamboyant & wears bright makeup, nail polish, and frilly clothes; It’s not blatantly said if he is supposed to be French, gay, or both.
A female knight is referred to as “sir” & when she does something cool, Raeliana blushes over it.
Romance-
Instead of kissing her, Noah grabs Raeliana’s hand and bites/nips it to tease her (which makes her blush); Nearness & a few touches (on the hand, face, or waist); Staring (Raeliana to Noah when he is asleep and he catches her “peeping” at him).
There’s a misunderstanding of Raeliana waking up in a bed with a shirtless Noah and her back hurting (it’s cleared up shortly later that nothing sexual happened between them and she clung to him while sleeping after the kidnapping, so he took her to his room because it was closer; 4 panels show Noah shirtless).
Raeliana calls someone a pervert (though there’s no evidence of it).
Raeliana is annoyed by other women trying to flirt with Noah despite knowing that he has a fiancée.
When running away, Raeliana tears her dress to be able to move easier and it becomes a high/low mini dress; Another woman shows off a large amount of cleavage in one dress (she’s known to be a vixen and after Noah; 3 panels/illustrations show her cleavage).
A side character is a young woman married to a much older man (twenty years apart) and Raeliana realizes with a start that the girl was probably sold to him due to her family’s trouble.
Mentions of dates & dating; A few mentions of crushes & flirting; A mention of a woman previously throwing her at Noah.

This volume was amazing and I actually can't wait to read more of this series. Full disclosure, I read the series online and finished, but I wanted to read the physical volumes too. Not just so I could mark it on my goodreads... but also because I wanted to read it again.
Raeliana is so smart and badass, and I actually love Adam Taylor??? And Ainsley. But literally everyone in this series is so interesting and fun to read about.
I recommend this series to anyone looking for just a fun time.
Happy Reading!!
