Male Lead: Aiden King
Female Lead: Elsa Steel
Aiden King is an arse hole and he knows it. "I will destroy you." He said, and the next second Elsa's life has been a living hell.
Safe to say that I loved Levi more than Aiden in this book. I don't know if my opinion about Aiden is going to change in the future but I said what I said. Nothing is going to convince me that Aiden is less worse than Levi's.
When I'm reading Cruel King, I thought Levi was the worst cause he's done nothing but trouble to the King's name like how he burnt down his uncle's mansion. We all know he did that cause he felt like challenging his uncle.
But I'd say Aiden is more bold and straightforward than Levi. If he wants something, he gets it. He bullied and tortured Elsa throughout this book and I don't like that.
I like that Elsa wasn't the type to back down easily. Unlike Astrid, we know she loves to challenged Levi too but when she finally reached her limit, she gave up and that made Levi wants her even more. But Elsa, she knows she's scared as hell of Aiden but she never backed down cause yeah girl, you should never show your enemy your weaker side. That would make them want to crush you even more. Shout out to Queen Elsa.
Underrated scene that I want to point out is Aiden sometimes can show some act of affirmations towards Elsa. I loved that. He knows she has a heart condition and wasn't supposed to eat anything unhealthy so he took care of it very easily.
I also loved Elsa and Kim's friendship. The way they supported each other when one of them is getting bullied by the elites. They always be there for each other through the thick and the thin made me feel jealous. I'd like to have a long time friendship like that too.
