Found this by luck, but I already like the art-style, the dialogue and the facial expressions.

Don't know about the swordsmanship which some people boast about, but I can already see that the way the main character holds his sword seems legit.

Quite the variety of emotions you carry with you there.

There is a saying: "forgiven, but not forgotten".

Peace out.

I don't think it's the choices we make as much as it's why we make them.

Them feeling regret, hate, despair are all signs that they don't want to be the cold-blooded rulers they were forced to be.

If they had instead felt joy, relief, salvation, they would deserve little more than a painful death.

Scarlet won't take this lying down... I just hope she won't disappear on us after learning the truth.

How is this even allowed... Sometimes beauty is a curse, sometimes it's treacherous.

I wouldn't believe it, if someone told me this man's human.

It's beginning to feel more like a device to keep the plot going, and she has had plenty of opportunities to better her poker face and social manoeuvring, which makes it increasingly frustrating every time she does it.

We've just seen how many people have changed after meeting Scarlet, yet Constantine remains the same open book, even after she convinced herself she couldn't save the Grails with honesty only.

Pff. Had to get that off my chest, but I do have high hopes, since the rest of the story is excellent.

Aha, so that's why Lily keeps her eyes closed. Because she can't hide her emotions otherwise, especially not from Scarlet. Interesting.

I did NOT expect the drug to be a weapon of war!

Very similar to old war tactics of poisoning food and water (starving) of the enemy before going to war.

This development is a hug W in my book.

Number one friend is always used as a sacrifice for character development... I don't like this.

Aight, let's see then.

I don't think this story likes buildups, everything just kinda happens.

Where we at currently? Halfway?

We know the lifespan of her first 4 lives + her 7th life and her current life: (She has lived 7 lives, 8 with her current life)

She has lived for 20 years(first life) + 15 years + <10 years + 23 years + current life (9 years) = maximum of 78 years old if <10 is 9 years old.

I'm pretty sure she said; she died at 23 in her 8th life. Now, she also had 3 lives we don't know about other than they were less than 20 so <20.

That will be 3 * 19 = maximum of 57 years old.

That will be a maximum of 57 + 78 = 135 years old

Now, we also know that she re-awakens at 8 years old, except her first life, ofc... that means (-8) * 7 = -56 years of life

The final is: 135 - 56 = maximum of 79 years old.

Around chapter 85, mc states that she is 60+ years old, which matches the calculations. The variables are the 3 lives we don't know other than being less than 20.

--------------
1)
I can't find one example of mc being naive, but I agree, she should be naive about some things about life.

2)
Old age does not equal intelligence... her outstanding abilities come from a mc buff.

This is so warm. I first discovered this when it had around 30 chapters, then I forgot about it...

Glad to see this spectacle continue being as spectacular and moving as I remember it was.

Yes... and no, well... family by name and family by blood differs.

Both are family, of course, but they differ by choice.

I like that we got an early confirmation on her parent's identity, even though it was somewhat obvious from the moment we saw the duke's eyes for the first time.

I hope this story doesn't turn to shit now but continues with a nice revenge / redemption plot, for right now, everything feels too easy.

Yubiiii

I'm ashamed I didn't realize this. Well spotted. This artist does not pay attention to detail, but neither did I as I've noticed before that the colour she used to paint the white door were brown and yellow...

Holy chapter this was good!

Kill em with kindness, Constance - say the lad goodbye!

Copycat magic...
Nine Lives...
Nine sets of eyes looking at her.
A moon of protection?
Conclusion: Mc is a fury
