In chapter 184 of the manhwa, Penelope revealed part of her secrets to Callisto, but there were still things she hadn't told him, like how she thought all of this was a video game, and how she's in reality part of the soul of the og Penelope Eckhart...etc. Did she get to tell him all of this eventually? And did Callisto get to see how Siyeon looked like originally? I just love the idea of Callisto loving her even without the brilliant looks of her current body
She did tell him everything eventually though it happened off-page. They have come to know every little thing about each other, which is why I'm glad they didn't immediately get married! They took the time to properly know each other (their habits and quirks, their childhoods etc.) and fell in love with other all over again.
And it's because he knows everything about the Mirror of Truth and the video game from the modern world that Callisto had several panic attacks throughout the years that led him to try to destroy it, since he feared that the Mirror would try to take Penelope away from this world and bring her back to the modern world... And it did happen, though Penelope found her way back home quickly and cut the connection for good.
Callisto didn't get to see Siyeon's appearance though I have no doubt he would have loved her anyways! It's slightly different from the novel but Callisto immediately recognized Penelope on that ship despite her altered appearance and he didn't even care!
Is it true that Calliope's engagement rings are cursed with a spell that make it so if one dies the other dies as well?
Yes, because they're codependent final bosses (to be fair, only Penelope wore the ring while Callisto didn't during their five-year long engagement because Callisto wanted her to be to do as she wanted during her archeology exploration campaign, basically he put his life in her hands and let her have the final choice)
We all know that Penelope is obsessed with Callisto's golden hair and it's just adorable, but I always wondered why it was his hair she was attracted to the most and not his eyes? Blond hair is quite common irl. Even if she lived in Korea she probably saw tons of blond people on the internet, on the other hand, ruby-like eyes are basically non-existant and much more impressive don't you think?
I think it's because it was the first thing she saw from afar, how shiny his blond hair was. It left an impression on her though to be fair, Penelope later admitted she lied about falling for him for his hair (but she was also being honest at the same time somehow), she loved his looked overall.
Penelope also has an obsession for his eyes (calling them "jewel-like eyes" etc.) but it's more subtle.
You said that Eckles' second kidnapping attempt was different in the manhwa. Can you explain how it happened in the novel? (Apart from that r*pey comment that got deleted)
You can read novel chapters 220-221 to see by yourself but basically Eckles didn't drug Penelope to kidnap her in the novel version, he forced her to get in a carriage with him so they could go to the Palace (he had masked armed men surrounding her and that showed his status as a Prince).
His discussion with Penelope in the novel version is a extended and the way he took her wand isn't the same, you can also feel more of Penelope's disgust in the novel since we can read her inner thoughts.
When is Penelope's birthday? In the Wiki it says August 8th but I've seen a post claiming it's August 16th, though August 8th makes more sense because in the story Penelope's birthday is supposed to be one week after Callisto's right?
Penelope's birthday is on August 8 since there's one week between Penelope's birthday and Callisto's birthday (the novel author did make a tweet stating Callisto's birthday is on August 1) but it was never explicitly indicated Penelope's is on August 8!
The confusion comes from the fact that VADTD's audio webtoon indicated Penelope's coming-of-age's ceremony takes place on August 16.
do you think the duke is a good father ?
I've already said it but no, lol! Neglect is still a form of abuse (not just towards Penelope but also towards Reynold and Derrick). The main difference between him and most of the other rofan fathers is that he actively tries to redeem himself rather than count on the forgiveness of his children.
He says sorry multiple times, backs up his words with actions and doesn't expect forgiveness in return by prioriziting his children's happiness. And yes, grief (for his wife then for Ivonne) did play a role, he overworked himself as a coping mechanism but ended up neglecting his children.
Is there a reason why Ivonne is the only one who remembers past loop while everyone else, including Winter himself doesn't (i don't mind spoilers)
It's multiple past loops (hundreds of them) and only Ivovnne remembers because of her brainwashing power/the Mirror of Truth. Initially, Winter's spell was to return to the past but it became a timeloop that wouldn't stop until Penelope (the only one with some semblance of immunity to Ivonne's brainwashing power as the last ancester of the Ancient Mages) would manage to stop Ivonne or until her soul would completely shatter.
Unfortunately, it took hundreds timeloops for Penelope to get here because she was under the curse that made everyone hate and Ancient Mages (that curse comes from the Lailas).
Current Winter forgot (until the recent chapters) but his body and soul didn't, which is why his body temperature is unaturally warm since he's being consumed with flames as a punishment for that taboo spell.
