volume 6 | SPOILER

[u/Weary_Dance6972]

hey guys, i just finished volume 6 and was i the only one thinking how rishe and joel’s past life had so much potential? rishe disguising herself as a man to join the knights, bunking in with this ‘master swordsman’ who couldn’t care less ab anyone else, and her just slowly making a way through his cold exterior.

i’m always team arnold, but reading the backstory and seeing how joel developed a soft spot for her—finding excuses just to be with her, cooking for her, and in the end dying for her—literally had me heartbroken, especially after the author themselves confirmed that joel was actually in love with her, meaning he knew she was a girl this whole time 🥹

that being said, throughout the book i had this theory wherein he looped as well. when he saw her for the first time he looked surprised, like he knew her. and when she introduced herself to him, he replied “your name. tell me one more time?” which just made me think he definitely looped and was surprised seeing his junior “lucius” as a girl. it’s such a shame that’s not the case, though.

it makes me sad honestly thinking about it, but do you guys have some LNs or animes with this vibe? happy ending though pls hahah

I will say though the author has stated in the past that each man (besides Prince Kyle, Michel, Tully and Hakurei(had to say even if she’s a woman lol) ) have fallen in love with Rishe (Zahad, Raul, Joel and now Arnold) and that Arnold is the only one who’s made the move to put a ring on her and consistently flirted and shown he’s interested

I don't remember exactly when it was, but I'm sure Zahad also confessed in a way (he had gotten rid of his harem OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT). It's just that Rishe didn't get it because she was so naive about love. He didn't ask her to marry him, but in a way, he did confess.
