          Featuring a new character, Zyon Drazhan—to be Zyon Alphonsine—and our cast all grown up! To be featured in Act Ⅵ, a timeskip of 5 years. That was all just the pre to the start, don’t you now? This is where the story begins; the genesis of it all!

          ✦ Ahh, sorry I took so long writing this Act! Again, I got busy with school. We just had our intramurals a while back + our periodicals, not to mention the schoolwork piling up.
          
          ・୨・┈・୨ ✦ ୧・┈・୧・
          
          Featuring 4 new characters [Bernia Gismondi, Vash Castellano, Eryx Dillon (the long-awaited male lead!), Ruelle Briarlaine], a better look at “the dove freak” from Act Ⅳ—Faris Castellano, and... drum roll please! Soleil Maniae’s backstory, including a look at grown-up Soleil and Tieran (to be featured in Act Ⅵ) in the 20th chapter!

          ✦ “Act Ⅵ: Marionettist’s Downfall” is currently being written as we speak! In which, a (dark-and-yet-not-so-toxic) romance starts to bloom between our cunning protagonist, Astraea Maniae, and our sweetheart ML, Eryx Dillon. Before that, of course, we’ll finally get the reunion of the century; Ascian Maniae, Astraea Maniae, and Soleil Maniae cross paths once more after a long 5–7 years! After getting past the hurt, the guilt, and the grudges, shall we expect the long-awaited downfall of Count Ivalo Maniae—a marionettist’s downfall?
          ✦ Since Act Act Ⅵ will contain a lot of new chapters (including many new faces), I’ll be releasing it by chapter (1-3 chaps each publish maybe?) rather than as a whole like I did with all the other Acts so far. The same will go for Act Ⅶ (endgame), so get ready for the tension!! That, and the return of two very important figures we haven’t seen since Act Ⅰ~☆

          Without a doubt, the winners are Ludovic (expected), Tieran (also kinda expected), and Soleil (this one probably wasn’t expected lolol)!
          
          · Ludovic’s father, Faolan, despite being a man of few words, is a dedicated gentleman (mainly only to his wife). His mother, Lilibeth, also raised all her children to respect women, so aside from Ludovic, his elder brothers are also gentlemen at heart.
          
          · Tieran’s always been polite, and practically being raised by his elder sister, Lavanya, he undoubtedly knows how to treat and respect a woman.
          
          · Soleil may be a bit of an odd case, especially since (spoiler alert) he becomes a casanova at some point after the Act Ⅵ arc, but he was also raised by his elder sister, Astraea. He knows how to charm and was taught to respect women, but be warned, he most likely wouldn’t like women that aren’t as assertive and intelligent as his big sister. Or just people in general. His gentleman-liness depends on his mood, really.

          Q: “yo who dy think would be the worst bf/gf in B/LR”
          
          A: Lowkey? For the worst boyfriend, it’d be between Deuss Vandeleur (main antagonist) and Ivalo Maniae (Maniae kids’ father). For the worst girlfriend, it’d be Llewellyn Dillon (Eryx’s mother, though she’s hardly mentioned). Deuss would treat you like absolute sh-t even if he did “love” you, but I think it’ll be better to leave this part blank for now since you’ll see why when the story progresses to around Act Ⅶ. Ivalo is self-explanatory after what he did to Haelyn and Desiré; this part will be explained once Act Ⅵ releases. Llewellyn is hardly even mentioned, but she was a horrible wife and mother who manipulated her husband and groomed her eldest son.
