I love that Lilian York, on at least three separate occasions, used Felix as a wall/shield. And the look on her face–like, “Augh. I want to go home. I’m tired.” Is just so hilarious to me. Like, she’s not hanging out with other women, nor men–she literally came to these parties for some reason (like an obligation, maybe?) and just decided to hang out with Felix whenever … Continue reading WMMP: OKAY, just a minute here…
theanimeview: I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,” particularly this scene: and it got me thinking about The Obelian Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather, Empress) of the empire. I’m not going to … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir
So… chapter 70 hit me like a brick wall. Anyone else? But it gave me a really interesting idea/theory as to what Lucas is talking about for Athanasia. What if Athanasia’s past lives or story is similar to Elise’s in Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp? As in, what if Athanasia lived her life as Athanasia before and then came to another world (“our” world) … Continue reading THEORY: Athanasia’s Past Lives (Chapter 70)
theanimeview: Remember how Claude changed after spending time with Athanasia? Having a child and spending time with them is known to change people and I think that might be happening with Anastasios, particularly after he reacts to Jennette words regarding family in Chapter 62: His reaction is not the same disgust or disappointment he held when he saw Claude’s behavior around Athanasia. It’s almost like, … Continue reading THEORY: Anastasios Is Changing
OMG, so many things about chapter 62. I already posted about Anastasios possibly changing, but now it’s time to talk (again) about ART, particularly the mirror images we see between Claude meeting Athanasia and him meeting Jennette. When Claude meets Athanasia, look at the hues behind them–both are surrounded by yellow, which we’ve talked about before (Part 1 Link – Part 2 Link). The chapter … Continue reading ANALYSIS: Gold, Art, and Storytelling Re-revisited

In Chapter 41, the old bookstore owner tells Athanasia that she’s cursed. This is before she has the ribbon that Jennette gives her, which is being purchased earlier in the same chapter. The old man maybe an unreliable source, but I’m going to assume he’s right in this instance until proven otherwise. My theory is that her curse is something carried over from what I … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Curse
This is a topic I’m revisiting after my first theory about the royal family’s magic was shown to be dismally wrong (I said that it might be light and black magic in my post, The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir). But what is their magic? Well, let’s review what we know so far: 1. Strong magicians are said to “freeze” their hearts because emotions can cause them … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family and Magic
theanimeview: theanimeview: In chapter 45 we see the hint of something Athanasia asked Claude for–I believe that she asked for a portrait of them together. Here is why: First, in chapter 45, we see what is very likely to be the feet of an aisle twice: I haven’t seen much discussion about the gift before, but that’s my theory. I bet that as season 2 … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Request
