The Reason Raeliana Ended Up At The Dukes Mansion
Okay, let's be real. Why Raeliana McMillan ended up at the Duke's mansion is pretty obvious. But hear me out, because I have a theory.
Everyone says it's all about the plot. The book needed her there, simple. I agree... mostly.
The Obvious Answer (and Why It's Still Good)
Beatrice, the OG villainess, needed to be dethroned. Raeliana was the perfect wrench to throw in her perfectly-laid plans. A woman from another world? Chaos guaranteed!
Must Read
Plus, Duke Noah Voltaire Wynknight is a hottie. Let's be honest. Who wouldn't want to hang out in his ridiculously large mansion?
Seriously, the man has more square footage than my entire hometown. And the library! Swoon.
But Here's My Unpopular Opinion...
I think Raeliana might have subconsciously manifested it all. Stay with me!
She was reading a novel. A novel with handsome dukes and dangerous schemes. What's a girl to do but dream of being part of the drama?
Maybe, just maybe, she was thinking really hard about escaping her boring life. And boom! Isakai'd!
The "Accidental" Summoning Theory
We've all been there, haven't we? Daydreaming our way into another world. Wishing for a life of excitement and romance.
Raeliana just took it a step further. A big step further. Maybe she's secretly a powerful mage without realizing it.
Or maybe, Beatrice's summoning ritual was a little wonky. And Raeliana's overwhelming desire for a fictional life messed with the magic.
The Real Reason? (Probably the Author)
Look, the truth is probably much simpler. The author wanted a story. A story with betrayal, contracts, and a whole lot of tension.
And what better way to create that than to throw a modern girl into a historical fantasy setting? Fish out of water, meet ridiculously attractive Duke. Hilarity ensues.
But where's the fun in leaving it at that? Where's the fun in not theorizing about hidden powers and subconscious desires?
Ultimately, Does it Really Matter?
Honestly, no. Raeliana is in the Duke's mansion. That's all that matters.
We get to watch her navigate treacherous court politics. And maybe, just maybe, find love along the way.
So, let's all raise a glass (of tea, of course) to Raeliana's accidental, subconscious, or author-ordained arrival. It's been a wild ride so far!
Whether it's plot convenience, wish fulfillment, or a little bit of both, we're here for it. And secretly wishing we could trade places with her (minus the assassination attempts, of course). Especially if Duke Noah comes with the package.
