* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: As she’s taken in and loved by Glen, Julia constantly thinks of Camille and wishes to be by his side, worried of how much he will miss her.

Camille has gone so far off, even Julia is horrified after seeing him for what he truly is. How so? Camille beats her when he catches Gregory trying to rape her(that he saves her from), while accusing her of seducing his older brother, and trying to escape from his “love”. It’s also strongly implied that Camille rapes Julia in the moment Glen visits the Lafayette estate(he was invited by his father, Camille didn’t know that).

** Julia is deeply in love with Camille, who is quite the gentleman in a [[AristocratsAreEvil family of elite assholes]] and looks out for her from his jealous servants and their torments. But underneath the surface, he’s fully aware that the servants are bullying her and chooses to look the other way. Why? Because as long as he’s coming off as a PrinceCharming with Julia as his Cinderella, then it will inspire her to stay by his side no matter what shit the servants throw at her. [[NiceGuy Glen]] is just as disgusted and utterly confused by his logic as you would have expected.

* DoggedNiceGuy: A rather unique case as Glen is not as forceful as the trope goes. He’s taken in Julia when she was nearly on the brink of death, nurses her back to health, and falls in love in the process of saving her from her trauma and scars. Glen gifts Julia beautiful clothing, has servants waited upon her, and arranges lunch and tea dates with her.

** Camille and Glen for their love of Julia and personality wise. Camille is an {{Yandere}} but also keeps up a facade that he’s a PrinceCharming to Julia. He’s fully aware that his servants bully her out of their jealousy of the “special treatment” she only receives from Camille, but he does nothing to stop the harassment because in his own twisted logic, the bullying will only want Julia to cling onto him more and not want to leave him. And he uses Arcana to cure her muteness but only if she’s with him. [[spoiler: Until it’s revealed that Camille cursed her as a mute because of his extreme paranoia of Julia talking to anyone but him, as well as hide a dark secret surrounding her]]. And is EXTREMELY jealous of any man showing interest in Julia, but will quickly point the finger at HER for daring to attract other men. Meanwhile, Glen is a NiceGuy who never wishes to bring harm to Julia and is disgusted of Camille’s twisted love. While he doesn’t have a way to cure Julia’s muteness, he does read her mind without her knowledge, so he can get to know her better but also as a SecretTestOfCharacter, much to his dismay. While Camille wants her to stay by his side but does nothing to end her suffering, Glen wants her to stay with him less of his jealousy of Julia’s devotion to Camille, but mostly out of his strong desire to protect her from Camille, his family, and his servants.
