What Happened in Can I Cry Now? Chapter 48? (Recap)
- A Heartwarming Effort: The chapter was about how much Iby tried to prove herself worthy to be in the palace. Her intense fear of rejection caused her to exhaust herself and break the hearts of the servants of the palace.
- Clois’s Realization: Emperor Clois slowly started to understand Iby’s hidden pain behind her pretty smiles. He began to draw parallels between Iby’s defense and his late wife’s tragedy.
- The Academy Preparations: The Academy for gifted children was discussed at length; several nobles tried to discredit Iby because she was a slum-dwelling child.
- The Cliffhanger: The chapter concluded with Iby accidentally breaking something extremely valuable or sentimental in the Emperor’s study, and she was completely paralyzed with fear of what the Emperor was about to do.
What Are the Spoilers for Can I Cry Now? Chapter 49?
- A Healing Reaction: Can I Cry Now? Chapter 49 is eagerly awaited to turn Iby’s expectations upside down. We don’t expect Clois to respond with such seriousness – we’d like him to show some concern in response to the harshness she’s going to show him, which would help further his role as protector.
- Dealing with the Nobles: This next chapter will probably involve Clois mercilessly tearing down the arrogant nobles who challenged Iby or questioned his choice of educating her at the Academy.
- A Tender Moment: You can expect to see a lot of heavy emotional development in this chapter as Iby is supposed to make another huge leap in the right direction and realize that she is good enough to cry, to feel her feelings, to be thrown away.
- Hints of the Past: There may be another brief flashback from the Clois’ point of view explaining why he is so protective of the girl who embodies the one he lost.
