Generally, curses are different in regards with perception or views
and depending on the beliefs of where you specifically came from. They can be
seen or felt in fate or sometimes a defect or deformity physically or whatever
people may describe peculiarly odd can sometimes be called a curse. In life
there will always be bright side where everything is in your favor and
accompanied to that there will also be darker times where not everything goes
to plan. Each side must be balanced in order to achieve temporary happiness, one
greater than the other can lead to chaos and destruction.
In previous lifetimes, it is said to believe that certain
imperfections can either be a blessing or a curse. It all depends on how every
single thing falls whether it may be good or bad. But what if you have it all?
Money, royalty, a name so prestigious nobody dares to question, yet one thing
hindering your perfect image is that you are cursed and expected to die but at
the least you expected you were instantly cured in a blink of an eye. This story
is amazingly mysterious as it is mixed with magic and tragedy to both main
characters and the journey they will take against all odds.
Evelina, is a simple girl
who was just reading the story of Liandro who was a cursed boy who didn’t have
any expectations about life. As she finished the story with an unexpected
unhappy ending, she was frustrated as to how the story twisted about how love
is unfair and if she was the main character of the story, she would have chosen
Liandro instead of some other guy. Thus, she became the duke’s maid. Her
character is a quite modernly who was sent back in time to experience what it
is like to serve royalties. She started as a simple reader turned into a main
character of the story. You would usually have a do over from your past life to
another but this one is different because this character knows every single
thing about the world she now lives in. Her personality is likable because of
her playful and bubbly characteristic which became a good match for the
Liandro.
Liandro, is the boy who was
cursed and set to die because of how the markings on his body spreads. As the
markings grow bigger, he became weaker and also his eyesight is poorly because
of the curse. He was always left on the side as his parents does not care about
him. Everything changed when she met Evelina who was set to be his maid. His
character is very typical like cold, uneasy to deal with and stubborn all for
the reason of his conflict. He was always alone and misunderstood and lived
everyday being feared which he lived up to as a defense mechanism on handling
situations. I like how his character is so clever and charming which is a great
refresher in his gloomy personality in the story.
The love between a maid and the duke in this story for me is quite
unexpected because of how young the duke is, although the age difference
between Evelina and Liandro was quite near it was made possible as the story
progressed. One thing that I wish was explained further is on how Liandro was
cured and why was there a mark on Evelina’s skin after the incident. Aside from
that, this story is very interesting and fun to read. I love the chemistry
between Evelina and Liandro especially the quirky, playful and romantic scenes.
Also, with the other characters background and personal stories are also
entertaining to read. I wish the next chapters would be uploaded instantly
because the story is getting better and better every chapter.
