Tigers Sniff the Rose Episode 7

Revenge strategist by day. Bedtime storyteller by night.

🐯 This episode gives us more of his story, more of the maid and his friend, and a little less focus on her. His reason for coming to the capital is becoming clearer: revenge. The thoughtful gestures haven’t disappeared, but there’s a calculating side to him that’s getting much more interesting.🐯 He’s setting things up so the captain could end up beaten or killed by the Grand Princess at the flower show. That is quite a plan, especially when getting caught could put him in danger too. I’m curious to see whether he’s accounted for everything or is taking a bigger gamble than he wants anyone to realise.🐯 My OMG moment was him playing a blind game with the chancellor without knowing who his opponent actually was. Imagine trying to make your way in the capital and discovering the person you’ve been playing against is THAT important. His networking has certainly become more eventful since he arrived.🐯 The maid and his friend get more time this episode too, and I’m enjoying having their supporting relationship alongside all the revenge plotting. No particular favourite character picked this time, but I’m happy to keep watching those two.🐯 Somehow, all his thinking takes him straight to her palace. Interesting where your feet take you when your mind is occupied 👀 She sees him and the maid brings him in, and we eventually get back to my favourite thing: her asking him for a bedtime story.🐯 This time it’s the story involving the snake and the hornet, and it sounds very much to me like he’s talking about himself. I’m not sure she’s fully connected those dots, but her response about not foolishly sacrificing your life feels rather relevant to his current plans. Sir, please listen to your own bedtime-story feedback.🐯 Another 8/10. I enjoyed seeing more of his strategy, but the bedtime-story scene was my favourite. He’s planning revenge while finding his way back to her, and I’m increasingly interested in how those two parts of his life are going to affect each other.
