i'm already imagining this party filled with chocolate by Cael hahahaah It's so funny to see Cael trying to organize the event with Hestia without third parties and then Hestia thinks it's better to ask Erinyes hahhahahah
My man said, 'today and tomorrow, I shall spend the most time with you' in the most indirect way. Also I don't mind if Cael gives Hestia chocolates from now on as gifts or desert.
H: So you know how to prepare a party. Good, when was the last time you had one? C: i was...young.... H: let's ask Erinyes Poor Cael hahahahah. He was like "even if years passed, i can organize one!" and hestia was like "yes yes, dear, you're amazing but it's better to ask suggestions from Erinyes"
Me : Cael, you're still young! Hestia : Cael, no matter how old you are, you will always be georgeous!
CAEL KISSES HESTIA'S HAND OMG! Spoiler: Webtoon Ch 78 Spoiler Hestia and Madam Harmonia continues the talk about Diana, temple, epidemic, etc. Hestia tries to cheers Harmonia before she leaves, afraid she will fall into depression like Cael before. There is change from novel. In the Webtoon, Hestia is sulking because she can't attend and see Diana's luncheon. She needs to continue the preparation for dinner. She tells Cael to avoid Diana, afraid of his symptom returns, but he replies, asking if she is jealous. Cael kisses her hand before leaving while saying,"So that my wife won't anxious anymore." Uros and Phaenon teases them. Hestia receives Erinyes' letter, informing about Photos' ship sailing. Cael wonders what Diana thinks after looking at the very simple dinner (it's even shabbier in reality). The delegations' expression isn't good.
I'm sorry but I rly don't get it, why it must be done like that for the ending. I really need to vent for this so it will be long. (In advance please forgive my writing) Diana stay at the palace (until the late emperor past) and why did the CP gets a nice wife (I don't think he deserves it) I understand that's it's a Manhwa and meant good, to forgive and etc. But in the end I think Hestia is way too good for the ML and she should just go back to her really world at the end and let the ml and cp deal with their empire. At first I luv the story sm, but when Diana downfall event happened, and CP fine a nice woman to remarried to I don't like it. They hurt the ML until the bridge of ending his life, and FL hard-hard work on helping ml and making those clown to relish their (obvious) mistake I still don't like the ending of it all. Especially when seen the blind love of FL. She deserves way better then the ML. I said so because even though He knew all the things FL goes through and effort to make Diana and CP to fell down. He still sided with CP to keep Diana at the palace for the Nobel view and for the late emperor. It make me think that he can't put Hestia first. He choose to sided with his former best friend first than her. It's like he better cover for the palace nobel image than Hestia feeling. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I rly need some opinion on this, and I'm curious if it's just me who feel that way or if there is others. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the story plot that I've written.) Thankyouu.
Hmm. So I haven’t read the novel but I read the spoiler and of course the manhwa…and judging by the spoiler that I read: why ML help the crown prince is political reason. I mean this is about the country. For what I see Hestia still view this world as a novel not reality. This is her current reality. Getting revenge is nice and all but let not forget the one she getting revenge is very important to the country, the crown prince and princess. If she want their downfall it will not effect only them. In reality there more important things than romance. Espically when the crown princess make so many mistakes and the crown prince is not doing well for the country image. I think what he doing is a rational choice, it not like he emotional cheating but doing his job to protect the country. For what I read he feels nothing for Diana and move on. And the current state of the manhwa shows it to. That what I get from the spoiler. I could be wrong haha but I see some people think the ML still love Diana because of this decision and was mad. But so far that how I interpret it from the spoiler. If I am right I feel it a very realistic decision. I feel the theme here is not getting revenge but moving on from your first love which I believe Kael does. Maybe the novel shows diff from the manhwa but I definitely see kael doing so in the manhwa
Idk why but for some reason there are still people who believe Cael still loves Diana. It might be because the TL of the novel is merely edited MTL, but its obvious that he doesn't have any romantic feelings for her anymore. It's more like indifference. All what he did was something that was rational and logical thing rather than something emotionally driven (referring to ch 32). Plus he needed to put a stop on Hestia's quest on revenge or she'll eventually become like Diana as well. About this as well. When Diana came to apoogize to Cael, it's not even sincere and Cael realized this. So he left Diana at that scene, knowing this. I am 100% sure, even though we don't get his POV in this scene, he was super disappointed at her and he stregthened his resolve to definitely have a new life with Hestia.
Maybe the explanation will be quite long. Actually after finishing FMDF, i read all this novel author's work (and some comments from Korean reader) to see her pattern. First, her story telling style is highly from MC' POV, so mostly reader accept and siding with MC if we doesn't try to look from normal person / 3rd person POV / other chararters position. Believe it or not, if you disappointed with FMDF ending, high possibility you will also disappointed with other works ending. Different with other romance fantasy with "cider" (fresh soda) ending, which usually MC get everything the best and she wants (like what happened to Diana in the original novel ending), this author give us ending close to the reality - MC get happy ending with ML, but at what cost? It's ending for us, reader, but it's reality for them, so life goes on and the characters need to deal with it. Several comments even mentioned that it look like the author wants to knack some senses to reader. Diana stay at the palace (until the late emperor past)? The emperor is dying. Take this as fullfilling his last wish. I read an interesting comment in the Naver, telling if the reader sometimes can be really that cruel because they don't like Hestia returns because emperor is sick. She is implying it to real life : "So, if your father-in-law (emperor) is sick, will you (Hestia) not visiting him, just because you doesn't want to meet in-law (Diana) you hate?" (Remember if Cael and emperor's relationship in long run is like a child and parent) Why CP gets a nice wife? Is there a perfect person in the world? Ok, he was wrong, but he knows it, apologizes, and tries to fix it, so he can get second chance (nice wife). Hestia is way too good for the ML and she should just go back to her really world at the end and let the ml and cp deal with their empire? Is Hestia really way too good fro the ML? Is she really just purely loves him? If she really loves him, why she choose her vengeance over listens to what ML wants first? I posts this part more than once, but this is Hestia's POV which the closest of Hestia's raw feeling, even before Cael helps Diana : To be honest, I hope my possession ends at this point. I want to enjoy the ending just the way I wanted. There is no need to bother watching the trivial and boring real-life story that follows. I'm just happy to see the end of the story I created. So it's heavy. Caelus' confession that I alone is enough for him. I look at the comment section of this webnovel chapter. Do you know what kind of comment there? Even some of them who love Hestia start to think she is bad. Hestia keeps repeating,"for Cael, for her bias, for her beloved," but, in the end, all she has done actually for herself, to enjoy the ending she wants. Other comment also mention that consciously or unconsciously, Hestia is playing with Cael's feeling. She helps him from darkness, she knows he loves her, but she wants to left him? Heal a man just for make him get the same wound again. In other sense, she is no better than Diana. You want Hestia return to her real world? Does she know how to return? Does she dare to try? Nope, she doesn't dare to try. She is too afraid of the hurt feeling / pain that will occurs in the process. It's like he better cover for the palace novel image than Hestia feeling? Remember what Cael's purpose : He wants to live with Hestia as real couple. What he needs to do to get his purpose? Simply following all Hestia wants? He tries to follow what she wants until a certain point (Diana's apologize). He asks in front of Hestia several times about what she actually wants and her plans after the end of her vengeance, but she chooses to runaway from her own problem and never really tells her raw feeling in front of him (She finally reveal it in front of Heli : that's not the ending she wants). If Hestia really will die as her past life before regression (she hides the fact about the possessor / enter the novel until the end), Cael only has less than a year to be with Hestia. By helping Heli then step down from his work in the palace, he actually saving time, so he can spend his time purely for Hestia from that point (after Diana's apologize, Cael is very busy dealing with the after-effects with the noble, barely has time with Hestia).
The author informs about the way she choosed Hestia's name. Actually she didn't choose it because the meaning of the 'flame', but because she is the lowest-ranking god among The 12 Gods of Olympus and because she is a main character from an extra. That's what she did when she decided on her name, but she also liked the fact that she was a goddess who protects the 'hearth', so she ended up carrying the images of 'flame' and 'fire' throughout the story.
I think today's chapter follow novel. Spoiler: Webtoon Chapter 79 The guests' impression is very bad. The emperor helps Diana by saying that the light meal was prepared following his condition. Diana tries to talk to Cael before his leaving (I think the detail of this part will be revealed in future chapter when Hestia and Cael alone - wish they not cut the scene Hestia oversleeps in Cael's room). Hestia welcomes the guests while Cael changes his clothes. The guests can she the big difference with the lunch. Cael looks cute here. One of the guests from the kingdom tries to provoke, but Cael can counter it. He even mention that thanks to "his wife", Illion is save this year. Hestia can't understand why Cael looks at her. The author launched new novel series yesterday. This time the author posesses an extra to bring the story, which is messed up by a transmigrator posessing OG Villainess, back to the track. I will put the spoiler in other forum spoiler.
It's a knee jerk reaction to dislike Cael's decision because it didn't cater to Hestia's wishes as we are seeing it all from her perspective, but if you look at it from an outsider's perspective, it's unfair to say that Cael cannot put Hestia first just because he went against deposing Diana when the nobles were demanding it. Because that is just his very reason, which he mentioned to Diana ("deposing her wouldnhave been closer to Hestia's wish"): he can't let the Imperial Family bow down to the nobles wishes. He can't let them decide for the Imperial Family. He can't, as the duke of the empire and ally of the Imperial family, in good faith, let the nobles have influence on the status of Diana as crown princess because giving in to their demands would weaken Imperial power, and as much as Helios hurt him personally, as the duke of the empire and seasoned politician. It's as simple as that. If anything, it's Hestia who assumed that it's because he still has lingering feelings or that she really cannot go against novel parameters and the wants of the main characters that's why things are going the way they are, etc. She let her wrong conjencture and emotions cloud her judgement.
Hi With todays chapter I really felt hatered toward Diana. She hated the flashy things and luxury of imperial palace at the table with foreign ambassadors. WHAT? You married the ducking crown prince what did you expect? Then why do you wear jewelry and expensive clothes b*tch. Wtf
i love hestia blinking at Cael like a playboy haahahah Diana as usual is stupid...she literally insulted everyone in one chapter: the envoys by preparing a snack and Cael by trying to talk to him. Does she realize that she is a married woman and a crown princess? Today's chapter can be called "communism vs capitalism"
Guys....this is going to sound really stupid, but I cant get it out of my head. I don't know if it mentioned this....what is Caelus' and Hestia's last name????? I think I'm going crazy....
They don't use last name. High possibility because the author uses name from Roman and Greek mythology here, so she follow that formula (Sample : Helen of Troy) The way they mention is their title + name + family / territory (reference : webnovel ch 128 : you can translate this picture using MTL) Example : Hestia before marrying Cael : Hestia, the daughter of Baron Elleah (see webtoon ch 4) Hestia when marrying Cael : Marchioness Hestia, the wife of Marquis Caelus Hestia as Duchess + the owner of Attica : Duchess Hestia, The Lord of Attica Cael as Marquis : Marquis Caelus, The Lord of Illion Cael as Duke : Duke Caelus, The Lord of Illion
now that i think about it, greek mythology doesn't use surnames because the concept of Last name still wasn't invented at that time, until roman empire's birth. At first, i thought the author felt lazy and just gave them a name and stop but thinking about it more, many kings from greek mythology don't have a surname: Queen Helen of Troy, wife of Menelao, king of sparta. I reckon Iceland people not having surnames but just "name+ father's name+ son/tottir": Erik Magnusson, Ingrid Svenstottir...
Oh!! I had no idea, and the author's attention to detail is impressive; thank you for sharing, I truly appreciate it!!
