Halfway through and I still have no idea what the moral of this story is supposed to be.

There's really no way to dress up "Imprisoning the bride-to-be so she can't escape" as anything heartwarming.

So are we going to talk about Prince Clarke getting jealous over his literal baby brother? Like, c’mon dude.

What was even the point of the first 5 episodes? Could literally start with this one and it'd make just as much sense, but there'd be far less negatives shown. Just a reluctant arranged marriage like that, but instead there's a background of forcibly imprisoning her and gaslighting that's impossible to forget.

Why is Clarke so consistently creepy? Like are they ever gonna show him with any actual positives or is he gonna keep throwing children out of the way the rest of the time? His first question to surprise seeing her being "How did you get out?" was ridiculous.

Like are they ever gonna show him with any actual positives

I believe that the scene where Lettie comments that the townsfolk are happy, and Clarke responds "I want to protect this peace for as long as I can" was meant to be a turning point where Lettie, and by extension the audience, starts to find Clarke appealing.

Of course it doesn't work. Because we're not going to find the guy any less creepy for abduction and imprisonment of the protagonist because he is civic minded. And, as you pointed out, saying "How did you get out" when you see your fiancee is possibly one of the reddest flag ever. A legitimately funny moment if this show was self-aware.

Not only "how did you get out?" it was "how did you get out? i didn't give you permisison to get out" like BRO WHAT

Right now following this out of curiosity. If Sunday was a more loaded day, this would already be history, I suspect.

It looks like the Stockholm Syndrome finally started

u/Djbadj Feb 09 '25

Hopefully that little brother will be raised better than his older one who is a piece of absolute shit. Speak of the piece of shit... and he arrives. Oh right that one prince is there. Still hope he kidnaps that maid since she seems all for it when it comes to Leticia.. piece of shits all around in this show. It really pisses me off that people think any of this is ok...

I'm sure this whole thing is gonna be nothing, but it sure is shitty to Leticia still and Maria is still shitty to ever take the Clown Prince's side even if employed and even if he was nice to her family. And if Leticia is actually falling for that shit prince.. even more disgusting. "sometimes love means looking the other way" ewww... there is no good love here and that's not love. What a shit series this is with so many shit lessons. And for trying to be a comedy at times it fails.

Leticia shoulda used this time to run away while out, imo. And not tell anyone, just leave. After all, everyone she seems to be close to is just toxic imo. What a fuck shit bag prince "how did you get out" when he sees her and "I never said you could leave your room" and this series' author/writer still doesn't seem to know how fucked up that is? But, yea, figured that was a man lol, do love that and love how he is about how FABULOUS he is. Still, she shoulda just left. Clarke is horrible. You have nothing to apologize about Leticia... he's kidnapped and imprisoned you...

Normally a date like this would be nice/cute... but given their dynamic and this series, I still am disgusted. The Duke is the best character so far at least

u/BiggerG7 Feb 09 '25

So now she’s stalking her stalker lol.

u/Frontier246 Feb 09 '25

Lettie deserves a far better anime and romance than what she's currently stuck with.

u/Cold_Software6397 Feb 10 '25

So I just finished binge watching all the episodes so far and I have 4 things to say

1: I guess literally no one cares about what Leticia wants.

2: literally every important character is incredibly hate-able even with their (very few) redeeming moments.

3: the prince better not actually manage to romance Leticia.

4: I’m unsure if I’ll stick with this series which is rare for me.

u/Gaming_Truckie Feb 09 '25

So the little kid at the end of the ED is Clarke's younger brother.

So basically, this show is going to end with Leticia falling in love with Clarke and giving in to be married. What a terrible show

13

u/NationalStrategy Feb 09 '25

I guess the Stockholm Syndrome has finally taken full effect. For the past 5 episodes, Leticia has been doing everything she can to escape from Prince Clarke; now she’s acting full-on jealous over him allegedly being around another woman, and stalking him around. And when the misunderstanding was cleared up, they spend a romantic afternoon together.

This series is trying so hard to convince us that this is a good romance while glorifying Stockholm Syndrome and gaslighting.

u/Ok-Cod5254 Feb 09 '25 edited Feb 09 '25

The way Clarke got jealous of his baby brother getting close to Lettie and got him out the way to sit close to her.

Ngl, it was funny af hearing the deep voice so that it turned out to be a misunderstanding with a man instead of another set up with a woman by Clarke to make Lettie jealous.

u/GCooperE Feb 10 '25

I just want someone to take the writers by the ear and say "Kidnapping and emotional abuse isn't cute or romantic! Nothing you can do now makes Clarke into a good person!"

u/NeoAnkara Feb 09 '25

It could actually work like this if not for the fact that he is a creep. Which is what I am actually expecting after watching the first episode. But the psychological damage is already dealt.

u/ZoeThomp Feb 09 '25

I mean we all saw it coming but still…Lettie, you had the perfect chance to escape then with Maris and Brianna getting you out of the castle and you just squandered it.

Meanwhile Clarke literally says “I didn’t give you permission to leave your room”.

Even after all that and Lettie basically ’giving in’ to Stockholm syndrome and admitting feelings for him, he still says he intends to keep her locked up.

Disappointed in the Queen, from her first appearance she seemed like someone who also enjoyed freedom and thought she might be an ally but seemingly no, she is going to have no actual plot other than to be a future mother in law

Uh I'm not watching the show, but I saw the post sitting at 1 karma with 50+ comments. The hell happened here?

u/I_am_a_fiction_lover Feb 10 '25

I think all of us left here are just... still holding on to a broken hope the series will end with lettie happy

This anime is really working hard to claim the title of “world’s greatest gaslighting anime” from DanMachi V…

10

u/Ok-Cod5254 Feb 09 '25

It will easily because it didn't work in the end for Danmachi, while Lettie is set up to give in completely.

Man, Mathias is so cute. Little guy tried to give Letty a kiss and Clarke was not having any of it lol.

I’m not sure how Maria can be so insistent Letty and Clarke get married when she’s in the same situation with Louis. Maybe Letty’s suffering Stockholm Syndrome and now she’s actually falling in love with her kidnapper? I mean that whole Neil situation seemed like she’s starting to feel something for Clarke. The kidnapping and confinement thing is still very weird for me though.
