Early spring in Cotehele, one of England's largest working estates.

my favorite thing is javier convincing himself he's being logical and cold and calculated when he decides not to turn on lloyd the moment he finds out he's a fake only to immediately get bowled over by his feelings when it comes to decided whether he tells arcos about it or not. it's so funny because he's all like this isn't about feelings he isn't stupid he won't involve his emotions on something like this and then he has to put lloyd's life in someone else's hands and he just. can't bring himself to do it.

it's literally like "i won't kill him but it's not because i care about him i'm just being objective this isn't about my feelings" "you have to tell arcos so he can decide whether or not to punish lloyd" "but i don't want to :("

and the worst thing is that he's so confused about it initially. he's like "uh i wonder why i'm so hesitant to turn lloyd in even when this could absolutely mean betraying my lord. why don't i want to tell the truth that could put lloyd's life in danger even when this could be betraying everything i've dedicated my life to. what could it possibly be". like babe. babygirl. i fucking wonder.

of course it's immediately followed by javier hearing lloyd tell og!lloyd that he will tell take care of their parents and tell them the truth in the future and it's an Oh moment for javier because. of course. this was why.

the translation used "making Javier soften" but it could've as easily been "making his heart weak" because. that's exactly what lloyd does with his words. unknowingly, without meaning to.

javier is so, so weak for lloyd. he wants to believe him, he wants to trust him so bad. this is immediately after finding out lloyd has been lying and hiding the truth from javier for years and javier still wants to believe him, he still puts his faith on lloyd and trusts him with the people he treasures the most in the world.

which is like. the opposite of acting logically and unemotionally lol

Gorgeous 1937 English Regency/Art Deco estate in Atlanta, Georgia is stunning. It has 5bd  7.5ba & is listed for $4.750M and it’s already under contract.

What a classy entrance hall. Love black & white checked floors. What a graceful staircase.

Very formal sitting room, but it looks very comfy. 

Lovely wood paneled den.

Beautiful formal dining room, and I mean formal. Look at the fireplace.

Gorgeous big kitchen with a window seat that even has a coffee table, plus a side chair like a living room.

Elegant bedroom.

Plus a updated vintage en-suite.

Secondary bedroom and bath is just as lovely.

All of the bedrooms are big, bright, and airy.

This room is not only a wine cellar, but wine tasting room, as well.

This is the most fantastic room in the house. It’s a ballroom on the top of the roof.

Look at this bar. Can you imagine entertaining up here?

This is fabulous.

Look at this beautiful weather vane on top of the house.

I’m surprised that they have a fountain rather than a pool, though.

The home is on 4.4 lush green acres.

thinking about the thai novel covers...

In the novel, does Lloyd ever learned how OG Lloyd broke Javier's wooden sword in two?

I'm gonna ramble a bit but short answer: Yes.

Okay, first of all, the webtoon adaptation went differently from the webnovel. Some moments are skipped, and some others are delegated to a different chapter. Heck, a lot of Lloyd and Javier's banters got skipped. How Lloyd dealt with Viscount Lacona's knight is different, the knight didn't try to assassinate Lloyd in his sleep, and Lloyd didn't accept the knight's demand for a duel. There is more insight from Lloyd on why Javier is hesitant to completely trust his sincerity (the RP is still in the negative before).

Like, here's their conversation after they dealt the contract with the viscount (who tried to sabotage the water in the Frontera fiefdom):

So, here. The knight just barged and tried to attack Lloyd, in the viscount territory, except his attack was stopped by Javier. Completely different from the webtoon. Of course, Lloyd being Lloyd, he teased and made fun of Javier whenever and wherever 😂 Anyway, the development is completely different from the webtoon.

There's a part where Lloyd said there's good news and bad news, of how Javier is so talented that people would want to recruit him. Javier said it won't matter because his loyalty lies to the Baron alone and no one else basically.

They even talked about Sir Bayern, the webnovel expanded how Lloyd appreciates the other senior knight in the Frontera barony as he is a steadfast, fair, and unselfish man who prioritized the development and betterment of the fiefdom over getting envious of Javier, a younger knight, of being stronger. The novel has more pronounced in-depth appreciation and closer relationship of the other side characters than the webnovel, more than just comedic gag and Lloyd just using/exploiting Sir Bayern's talent.

Here's a glimpse of how Javier berated Lloyd for being improper and his RP no longer being in the negative:

Sorry for low quality, I just screenshot them through mobile 😂

ANYWAY! The conversation, place, and timing of Javier and Lloyd having their talk is different from the webtoon. It's soft, and feels more fluffy and I prefer the novel over the manhwa adaptation, but both medium are good. Just, I like the softer and calmer feels in the original webnovel.
