Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers — Chapter 138

Hello fellow readers of Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers! Chapter Side Story 5 has dropped, and you all have *thoughts*! 🤔

The biggest buzz seems to be around the new (or maybe returning?) male character introduced this chapter! Everyone's asking: "Is he Yuri's brother?" and "Could he be the husband candidate?" It's a bit confusing, with some readers admitting they might need a reread to keep up with all the side character connections! 😅

Arsinoe's situation is also a hot topic. Readers sympathize with her desire for freedom from her 'reality TV husband hunt' but also debate her title and responsibilities. There's hope she can find a way to marry for love without sacrificing her happiness or being tied down by ducal duties. ❤️

Amidst the plot points, a sweet but poignant detail about Arsinoe buying a blue necklace reminded one reader of Aenon's eyes, sparking worry that it might make it harder for her to move on. 😥 Meanwhile, some are rooting for Yuri and Aenon's romance to finally progress faster! Others miss the main story and are getting emotional about the side stories continuing, signaling the series winding down. 😭

Overall, Side Story 5 brought both intrigue and a touch of melancholy as the story continues its final chapters! ✨
