My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X Episode 8

The story is based on the idea that Nicole is plagued by the fact that she has been engaged to her childhood friend since she first fell with Catalina as a child. For Nicole, being a prince of Jordo is much less of a problem than the idea that he steals her from someone he knew and loved for most of his life, and in a sense, we can say that he doesn't really consider Catalina himself. in his spiritual equation. It's Jordo who is afraid of hurting him. Some of him realize that the woman he loves isn't a happy princess (he's certainly not surprised if her potential fiance Frey points this out), and she doesn't seem to consider her at all. is not in love with Jordo, instead, he says that she does not love her fiancé "yet". It's really, really sweet and says a lot about how much he loves Jordo as a person. But he sticks to the idea that Catalina is "private," so he can't think beyond that, and the fact remains that he can get stuck in social considerations.

This is why Mary had to present herself as a man to dream of winning Catalina's heart, and I'm convinced that Nicole will never be able to marry the dishes everyone loves. Of course, Catalina's very refusal to adhere to social norms makes him appealing to everyone, at least in part, but for Nicole, that's not a major consideration of the episode. Instead, he will never be able to have a wife he loves, so he's a good little boy and should fulfill his duty by allowing his father to find him a fiancé. He doesn't seem to realize that his father is not enthusiastic and continues to provide him with way. He's trapped in his head, desperately trying to avoid a broken heart that he believes is inevitable, and certainly not so happy in the process, if not exactly miserable.

Part of what makes this episode so successful is how to juxtapose Nicole's belief that he needs his fiancée with the belief of his new character, Frey himself. Frey, whose last name is the same as Susanna, looks forward to living her life as an active woman and is encouraged by the idea that women are senior ministry officials and the fact that Catalina plans to rise. I will participate after graduation. She meets Nicole, but Flatout tells her that no wedding will take place, which absolutely amazes her. He had known Catalina for years, but apparently never really took into account that Nicole was less interested in following social norms than Frey. Like I said, it's Frey who points out to her that they're probably not a very happy royal family. In Frey's opinion, Nicole gives up without trying in the first place, and this has only ever been told to her by her sister who devours her romance novel. It's not that he doesn't trust Sophia, but Frey isn't interested in Nicole's life, so as a more or less stranger her words are more important because she doesn't have a horse. in this race. What if Frey says it's too early to give up ... maybe.

Frey and Ginger show another side of who the people of Solcie are and remind us that there is more than just a main cast, they try to live their lives as much as possible. Finally, Sophia's bombshell that her father stole from her mother from her fiancé reminds us that life, Nicole included, doesn't have to stick to the plan. Everyone wants Nicole to be happy. The strength of this episode is not only getting to know him better as a character but also realizing that Nicole can continue to challenge herself and be happy. It may not work, but at least he can tell he tried.
