Status Updates From A Knight to Call Her Home (...

Ah, the super common pre-first sex Norman invader "I would never force a woman" consent speech. 😂

"I will force a woman into marriage, take over her estate and make her bear my children, but I will not force her to have sex, because THAT would be wrong." 🙄 Jesus Christ! It's like the radio edit of an explicit song when they replace the actual lyric with some complete nonsense "Fu-orget you, man!"

Oh, she was poisoned and her ex-fiance and the crazy neighbor friend trying to start a rebellion killed the servant who did it before he could talk? Hmmm, I wonder who it possibly could be 🙄

“We are to be husband and wife; surely you see that it might be a good idea to understand the other’s likes and dislikes.” Emma appreciated that he was thinking about what she’d said. He was understanding and not one to discount something just because it came from a woman. It was rather noble.

“I like it when a woman takes me in her mouth—especially in the morning.”
😄 😄 😄

Okay, I'm completely exhausted at this chase and how long it's taking him to bring her dumb ass back. Get on with it already!

"Of course, he wouldn’t send an army! It was just her. Little inconsequential Emma of Wakefield, heiress to a small estate. There was absolutely nothing to chase her about. They would forget about this—and her. Out of sight, out of mind."

I had hoped she just wasn't thinking clearly, but no, she's an actual idiot. Lord help us all.

"Well, Emma of Wakefield was no lamb. She wasn’t exactly a lion though either. She wasn’t sure what she was..."

I'm sure! A total idiot. You live in a gigantic well known estate and you think running away will help? Even if you had got home, then what? Do you think the King would be like "Oh, I've conquered the entire country, but this young lady is too slick for me, guess I'll let her go" Girl, please!

The book starts off with the h sobbing TO THE KING because she has to get married. I already can't wait for the MMC to take control! I just don't like childish women who use tears to manipulate.
