First taste of Jude's route

THIS IS A SILLY RANT. NOT A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW.

Turns out! I already did his first event!

So, you as Fairy Tale keeper, happens to be (unfortunately) paired with Jude to pretend to be his girlfriend... and Victor ends up having to bribe him with money. You accidently make a promise to him (not a good idea), to not complain or say that you want to go home... then you quickly realize, oh god, working with this man is HELL. Turns out, everybody absolutely hates this man and wants him dead and now YOU'RE roped in. He owns a shady trading company, and once you arrive to the port the emotional support (Ellis) leaves. A younger dude (who suprisingly really respects Jude), walks up to him and notices you, asking who you are. Jude, oddly enough still playing the part, says you're his girlfriend. EVERYBODY looks at you and yikes, it's awkward, and of course Jude is finding it funny... he's making fun of you the whole time! Later, after he leaves for a meeting, you get tricked into following the younger guy from earlier. You're going to be used as a hostage, and you might even die. Thankfully (Or unfotunately) Jude comes to your rescue.
This is the base event... and first impression, he sucks. A LOT. He's rude and a sadist, and incredibly arrogant, just the worst. Personally, it just made me more curious about his character, because not gonna lie, he's pretty cool.
After the main section, it splits endings, with the "bitter ending" and "premium ending". I always work harder for the premium one, just because I prefer it, lol, plus you only really get one chance as a f2p, so choose very wisely.
The bitter ending is kind of funny, you get to bite the guy who threatened you, and you actually run into Jude. Golden line, "(I can't believe I'm actually relieved that JUDE is holding me)" I-- genuinely laughed I'm not going to lie. Turns out Jude was using you as bait and this was a mission all along, he knocks you out with his ability and drags you back to the castle...but you do get a little information about him.
For the premium ending, which I have done when this event was around, these are usually supposed to be more romantic or deep! We learn three little tidbits about him in this ending, but I won't spoil. Ellis notes that Jude looks happy after the dude is down, and Jude scolds him. You were of course still used as bait, but it's put in a much nicer way, lol. You two leave and he suggests to torment you until you hate him enough to want to kill him as well-- then claims he's joking. My favourite thing is when Kate mentally threatens him... just because it's funny... but now for him saving your life twice you have to repay him... sob.

Personally, I enjoy his character a LOT, and he can actually be kind of sweet... when he wants to. That's just because I have previous knowledge though. Despite his... unfortunate attitude, he suprisingly really cares for women. I've heard from another player that he mentions how much he hates "how women are used [by others]", and in the event used for the preview, some guy sent a woman to seduce him, but he ended up beating up the man who sent her instead. I assume he's that sort of aggressive tsundere type.

We will see soon though! When the event provides more information for the robins!
