Overview:
Pride once told a criminal to seek her out if he was ever faced with an impossible situation. That day has finally come.
Our Take:
Was it just me or was there a lot of sexual tension between Pride and Val? Val returned because he needs help but what is odd is how much he fights asking. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want help from the royal family or he doesn’t think he can trust them. I understand that he’s a criminal and some things he says in this episode are pretty terrible but I have to believe that his whole character arc will lead to redemption.
Regarding Val, Pride has never mentioned that he is one of the options from the game as a love interest. I believe she mentioned he’s a hidden character but there was a moment in this episode where it felt like there was some serious tension and I gotta say… I didn’t hate it. I tend to love the noble marries a commoner trope. Now a criminal is even below a commoner so this would be something else and I’m not going to hold my breath about this happening.
The next episode will be pretty action-packed if I had to guess. But if there was one thing I would say I’m disappointed in with this series would be that it doesn’t focus on the romance that much. But there’s still time.
