   She was “the rose of Arvis” that attracted Matthias’s attention with her pure beauty. But as all roses, she had her own “thorns”. She was wrapped by those thorns i.e past traumas.

   “Only you know my heart, my true self”

   Only person who could able to see Layla’s “true nature” with her dark sides and “inner feelings” was Matthias. And as her “dark sides” didn’t discourage Matthias, she could show him her “true self”. Matthias accepted her WHOLE, with her “insulting past”. She was haggard by negative emotions, and the duke also accepted those emotions despite them being directed at him.

   I can say same for Matthias, he showed his “dark sides” and his “true self” only to Layla. I love this quote form the book “Haunting Adeline”, it says:

   “When you make someone fall in love with darkest parts of you, there’s nothing you can do that will scare them away. They will be yours forever because they already love all the f*cked up bits and pieces of you”.

   It’s not same but quite similar to Matthias’s character. He was himself with Layla, not the perfect nobleman nor the powerful duke of Arvis. When he was with Layla he wanted just to be boyfriend->lover->partner.

   Both of them showed each other their darkest sides they were for each other “comfort zone” and this made their love stronger.

   The metaphor of Layla as a rose is a compelling representation, particularly evident in Matthias’s remarkable acceptance of the thorns surrounding her. Like a delicate rose with thorns, Layla’s complexities and emotional struggles become apparent, and Matthias embraces them without reservation. For instance, when Layla expresses her intense feelings of hatred towards him, Matthias, instead of reacting with anger, remains consistently calm and composed. In the face of Layla’s emotional thorns, he encourages her to “hate me,” demonstrating an unwavering love that transcends her moments of anger.

   Layla, burdened with her own trauma, finds solace in Matthias. While she wears a forced smile around others, such as Bill and Kyle, she reveals her true emotions exclusively in Matthias’s presence. In their interactions, Layla is free to express her genuine self, and Matthias reciprocates by being playful, smiling, and laughing, creating an environment where both can be authentic and vulnerable.

   A poignant illustration of Matthias accepting the thorns unfolds when Kyle discovers Matthias and Layla’s relationship. Kyle, heartbroken by the realization that Layla loves Matthias, reacts with emotional turmoil, unable to accept Layla’s flaws in choosing Matthias. In contrast, Matthias faces Layla’s anger head-on, acknowledging her emotions without judgment. Despite Kyle’s initial reservations about Matthias’s biased love, a transformative journey ensues, leading to Kyle’s eventual acceptance of Layla’s profound love for Matthias.

   Layla chose Matthias because he was the only one who accepted her whole with thorns. Her thorns didn’t push him away.

   About his love yes, it seems me his love starts from desire->obsession->obsessive love->absolute love.

   I would rather say “Absolute Love” instead of “Pure Love” because absolute love not dependents on any temporary conditions and never-ending desire to give, after all, itself – overtly and totally. Which did Matthias at the end of the story. His love was absolute, Layla’s sake was above himself, when he decided to marry her against his family, status and obligations. In our world unfortunately every relationship based “pull and push” theory. And this kind of love really rare among “lovers and spouses” Though, scientists said: mother’s love always absolute. Our mothers love us, without expecting anything in return and us whole with wounds and thorns. And I totally AGREE!
