~Why the princess pretends to be crazy

Ok so lemme just shed an ocean of tears for this angel boi.

Like, i can't even-

He went through SO much for his sister. He had to act like his mother was a stranger to him, and call another woman by the term reserved for his birthgiver. He bore it so well, with absolutely no complaint. And then, contrary to how elder siblings find younger ones a pain, he loved that baby Lizvel so so so much (the fl)

Rohas must've been devasted when he saw his own mother getting killed in front of him, but even despite the fear n tears his love for his sister kept him moving forward. He brought her up so preciously. In that hellish palace he strived hard to keep the smile intact on his sister's face.

To the very end, that was all he cared about. Truly a gem of a man. Zikel finding it out and using it on him was basically cornering him. But even then, rather than back down, he chose to be the wall that would protect her and the cushion to ease her fall.

Literally.

I still remember reading the part where Zikel figures out the connection between the ointment in Lizvel's room and the stock of ointments in Rohas's room. 🥺😭

The flowers from the crown she gave him while acting crazy, withered, shrivelled up and stinking and mushed up, but still there in the vase. The way he rushed into the room where Zikel and Lizvel were alone as soon as he heard her cries. His decision to end the game for the throne by killing everyone and then himself so that Lizvel could live. Him climbing the walls of his sister's palace to make sure she was safe after killing some prince. Telling her to smile, because that was the only place where he found some amount of solace. His feeble attempts with his beaten, cut and bruised body to protect Lizvel from Zickel inside that cavernous room. How even in that frail helpless state his top priority was not himself, but again and again and again, Lizvel. His happiness when he saw that Lizvel had her own power, power that could protect her. Him finding peace at last in the thought that finally his sister would be safe, without him having to raise his sword and smear blood again.

Maybe that's why his expression when he's at the threshold of death is one of content.

The other one thing that broke me apart was the number of times Liz was this close to killing Rohas. Imagine the horror of her killing Rohas and then later finding out that he was her actual brother from her own mother and the tryant father? She would have been destroyed with guilt.

I wish she would take up the ML's offer and keep him alive. Cause in my mind, giving up her soul or whatever is nothing compared to what her brother has done for her for 20 long years of his life.

I hate Hellar and ML for placing a bet over her like she's some kind of auction piece, and I hate Zikel for turning Rohas's life into a living hell. The only things that softened me up a bit as of now, is the ML slowly beginning to fall in love with Lizvel and realise that she too had her dreams and goals and most of all, a mind of her own. And the fact that there's nothing Zikel can do to hurt Lizvel now try as he might.

I am literally just reading the manhwa to see Rohas open his eyes and get some quality brother sister bonding scenes. I do not care about the romance in this manhwa cuz it's just if you let me use you, I'll let myself be used. And sorry to say this, but that's not love. It's called trading.
