As the other reviewer mentioned, this story has a cute couple, is too short for its own good, and ends with an abrupt/confusing fizzle. I read the story because of the tantalizing description, and there are elements in it that feel like they would be great in a longer story. However, in this story, combined with the confusing ending, I felt like things didn't prefectly gel.What especially annoyed me was the abrupt love at first sight and negging that the ML did. It's played off as sweet, but I hate the concept of a loved one feeling the need to catch the other's attention by putting them down and making them question their own intelligence or attractiveness. Especially since the ML had so many other, actually sweet ways of catching the mc's attention. This mildly repulsive behavior combined with renegading on his promise made me really question what the regent had going for him other than being the regent and handsome.
