Grand Duke, I Can't Do It Because It's Too Cold in The North - By Lemonwatermelon (7/10)

A regular woman reincarnates as the catalyst character in this one. The original woman that drove the yanderes to insanity, so later on be they could be healed by the pure true protagonist. She doesn't leave this time, so a huge conflict arises for her love.

Aisha.

Don't hate the original Aisha please.

She was a tragic and desperate women, who did not believe in love. Her father gambled, and two men were obsessed with her because she was beautiful/pathetic. She knew that their competitive obsession wasn't real love.

When she married the wealthy Duke of the North, Mikhail, she was miserable. Empty. She devised a plot to use the other Duke who loved her. All to get away from her loving husband. She stole his money too.

She told the Duke of the South, Daven, that she would return to him after her divorce. So he forced the divorce papers through for her.

In the end she left them both behind. She got money from the Duke of the North, and the freedom to live as a single lady from the Duke of the South. Then she left the country without a hint of regret.

She's not a bad person, but both dukes fell for a lie. They thought their beautiful lady needed saving, when really...she wanted her independence.

This is the world of the novel "Grand Dukes, Please Leave Me Alone!". It's about two incorrigible, competitive, romantic dukes who fight over one woman.

That woman is NOT Aisha.

Aisha was their first. The one who tricked them, used them, dumped them and left.

The real heroine is Mabel. Mabel is the luckiest girl in the story. She was a commoner, but she was elevated all the way up to princess...just because she looked like a beloved dead woman the royal family adored.

The Dukes fight over her because she's weak. She cries. She's what Aisha was pretending to be, before she showed her fangs.

New Aisha thinks she has to run, because the Dukes are destined to Duke it out (violently) over Mabel as soon as she is crowned.

She doesn't know that neither of them will bat an eye at Mabel, as long as she is present.

The Dukes never find out about Aisha's lies in this timeline...so...right now she really is a clueless lovely lady in need of saving.

Just their type!!!

Aisha does want to leave...because she's married to the Northern Duke...and it's cold...and he's scary.

Mikhail is devastated at first. He paid off her family gambling debt and he's been lavishing money on her. He thought she hated him. When she admits she's just cold he uses his $$$ for things she will actually enjoy. Like extra fire places. Soft furs. Blankets etc. He's very pleased that she's finally being honest.

He's a very awkward and sweet yandere. He always threatens people, especially her personal doctor, but he does mean well. When Aisha tries to escape its just a joke. The North has the best army. She joke is she always gets caught within two panels....which leads to her talking about her feelings more.

Mikhail quickly becomes calmer, because his beautiful bride is surprisingly easy to please.

Daven is the toxic yandere. He loves it when Aisha relies on him. He was one of her only friends while she was stuck in her abusive household. He brought her bread. He kind of developed a savior complex because of her.

Aisha accepted Mikhail's proposal because she smelled money, and Daven has been bitter ever since.

He's got the divorce by force papers ready.

Aisha just has to give them to Mikhail...but she refuses.

The North is cold, but Mikhail is kind.

She wants to give him a chance.

They get along well, but trouble brews around Aisha. Daven is rather upset about being left behind. Mikhail is still a little suspicious of his bride too. He likes her more now. She has changed and become warmer. Happier. He loves it. They're an alright pair.

Mikhail knows about Daven's feelings though.

He is no fool.

He also knows Daven and Aisha are childhood friends.

Daven will not give up, especially now that Aisha is so much brighter.

There's going to be some fighting, while everybody ignores Mabel....but this is a comedy. Don't expect too much.

Probably just another symptom of me getting more boring as I age but I feel this fcker is turning into my favorite character in the old 'Cinderella' movie:

Especially, like - try to see things from his perspective. He knows nothing of fairy godmothers and singing mice and vehicles turning into pumpkins, he isn't seeing any of that, from his perspective magic is still very much not real. As far as he's concerned, all that is real is people around him being batshit crazy.

From his perspective all he knows is that he got a volatile tyrant for a boss and he's experiencing the weirdest two days of his professional life

STAŃCZYK (1862) by JAN MATEJKO

In the painting, STAŃCZYK is portrayed as seeing the loss of SMOLENSK as the start of a series of catastrophes that would affect POLAND for decades to come

SMOLENSK Fort was one of the most important fortress of the empire, and the fall of the fort was seen as a sign of tragedy to come. At the ball, the people are portrayed as representing the POLISH nobility who sold themselves to foreign powers, which led to the decline of the nation.

One of the most common interpretations of the painting is that it symbolizes the "SAD CLOWN PARADOX." STAŃCZYK may appear to be a humorous and amusing character, but in reality, he is in a state of deep sorrow and contemplation.

On the other hand, the letter on the table dates back to 1533, which is believed to be the year that IVAN THE TERRIBLE assumed the title of GRAND DUKE of MOSCOW. This adds to the theme of foreign interference in POLISH matters.

STAŃCZYK and MATEJKO had a strong bond, probably because they both shared the same sense of patriotism and saw themselves as actors behind the scenes fighting for the heart and soul of their country. Neither of them belonged to the elite or the nobility, and both wanted to make a difference in the world in the best way possible.

In MATEJKO’S painting, the hope is also represented by a pendant containing the BLACK MADONNA, a symbol of the POLISH CHRISTIAN FAITH. However, it is not clear what the comet that is visible outside the window means. MATEJKO was known for using astronomy symbolically in his paintings, so the comet may represent a bad omen or a sign of impending doom.

The only thing I hate about the cinderella 2015 movie is how they made the grand duke a villian. In the 1950 one he was my favourite with his comedic timing. He was so kind to ella in the shoe fitting scene. Why they had to ruin him like that??
