The witch who had massacred thousands of people and destroyed the capital of the kingdom.
Elaine was considered a dear family to the witch.

But that night, a tragedy happened.
Elaine loses everything and wakes up to the world 20 years later.
Possessing the witch’s heart in her chest.

“Please protect him and my child…Ash.”

It was the witch’s last request.
She set out to find Asher to protect him and fulfill her promise, but the young and innocent child had become a stony, cold-hearted man.

A pair of purple eyes stared at her dryly.

”Dame Elaine, was it?”
“I advise you in advance, you’d better give up.”

However, Elaine draws her sword to keep her promise and seek revenge.
Before Elaine, the truth about the witch’s death begins to unravel…

***

A glimpse of annoyance showed in Asher’s eyes.

“Dame Elaine, what are you doing?”
“Oh, well, the lid looks a bit sharp.”
“…I can open the lid myself.”

The faces of the knights around them were struck with amazement.
She dares treat the Duke of Killiard, the best knight in the kingdom, a man who is compared to the sharpest blade, like a child.
The knights thought in unison.

‘That woman, she’s not ordinary!’

Honestly I already rated it as a five star because I believe that there is a whole lot of interesting things to come and everyone should give this a chance. As of now the story doesn't has a lot of chapters so I am gonna wait a bit for a few more uploads, but I assume and really hope it will be updated soon and it will turn out to be an amazing master piece.... Advanced thanks to the translators. Much Love.

The pacing is constant, FL & ML is okay and both OP so if you like strong leads this is for you.

Humm in terms of story, it is 4/5

It is interesting but not that interesting enough to give it a 5.. maybe because the conflict is kinda too easy to solve? Idk...

But anyway, this is nice to read to pass the time.

3 stars - not that this is a bad novel by any means, just that it reflects a 6/10 rating. It's pretty average and I didn't really get attached to any of the characters, nor was the plot/writing impressive. OK to pass the time reading, but I'll probably forget about this.

Pros:

  • Just a straightforward fantasy story - no isekai/possession or regression.
  • No 2nd MLs
    Spoiler

    the male lead was always really obvious, so I'd be pissed if they added a 2nd love interest just for the sake of making the 2nd ML suffer...

    [collapse]
  • I felt iffy at first because the FL knew the ML when he was a baby but thankfully the ML doesn't remember her at all (only from word of mouth of others) and the FL didn't start developing romantic feelings until she realised he was a grown man. Also they did not meet during the 20 years, and Elaine completely did not age mentally either as she really was completely blanked out from the world, as if travelling through time.
  • A simple story, doesn't require too much thinking or nervousness
  • Not too long, 130ch is about right (they could've made it shorter but I'm fine with what we got)
Cons:

  • The lead couple is pretty standard. Their romance nor characters arent that interesting, but at least they acknowledged their feelings fast
  • The story/writing itself isn't all too interesting? As the other reviewer said, might be a problem with the execution
  • 2 dimensional villains
  • The twist in the end wasn't that surprising or original but pissed me off slightly.
    Spoiler

    turns out Aspel? Pel guy?? The pel demon fella (i forgot the name) the FL grew up with in the witch's home was the one who caused the tragedy because he loved Bella (the witch) and couldn't stand to see her with another man. When I read this part I just kind of went "oh. okay that sucks."

    [collapse]
  • World building/demons/witches/magic and stuff was explained alright. A bit unsatisfying on my end. It didn't feel too deep or creative, it's just the usual things you'd get from the genre (a.k.a. ooo demon bad) No idea if it's because of the mtl which I continued on from c95 until the end, but other than Aspel existing, I don't really think it was necessary for demons to exist in the plot. If he was switched out for just a strong mage, nothing much would change, really.

3.5 stars, rounded to 4.

While the premise of the story was pretty interesting and unique, the actual execution was a little... lackluster. Both the MC and ML are fairly OP, and their interactions while sweet were kinda cliche.... more>>
Spoiler

It's the typical she's the first person who has treated him this way and he can't stop thinking about her blah blah blah. Another thing that lowered my review was in the earlier stage of the story, there was the "villainous" who likes the ML and sees the MC as a threat and is jealous of her (yk the deal). Later, she gets wowed by the MC's power, completely throws away her feelings for the ML b/c she can't compete, and starts acting like a hardcore fan of the MC. Like, really? Starting to get bored of this troupe T-T

[collapse]

Overall, a decent read if you're looking to pass time. Nothing super good but nothing bad. Ultimately, my lack of motivation and interest caused me to drop it (however, I dropped it somewhat early so idk if it gets better). <<less
