Rezef

[Spoiler]












I don't know the details but Rezef killed Cayena's nanny. It triggered Cayena's instinct for survival since she thought Rezef just wanted her as a puppet and would eventually killed her (though actually Rezef was aware of Cayena's plan to escape from the kingdom. He refused to let her go and wanted to keep her by his side since she is the only one who he cared for now, a.k.a he became a siscon)
So Cayena decided to step up and make plans to snatch the throne from him instead eventhough she need to sell off half of her life for it.
In the end of struggle for the throne, Cayena wins and Rezef was exiled to the South. Cayena still send someone to check on him once a year, though his temper didn't seem to improve from the report so far.
He sent cheese piece, a horse with crown handmade from wood with note [King. Live Well/Be Happy (I forgot)]
I'm not sure whether he is happy or not in the end. I also wished he could found his piece of happiness- what a shame.

So far, novel hasn't been completely translated. But Cayena turns against Rezef because he kills her nanny. And from the novel, the author is most likely going to give Rezef the tragic route. His obsession with Cayena makes him lose his mind a bit. His main purpose to become Emperor was for power but now I think it's also because he wants to trap Cayena inside the palace where no one can see her. I quite love Rezef's character so I feel really bad for him.

Ah what the heck. Now I’m sad, he clearly just needs to be taught boundaries and what’s a healthy way of showing love.

I think Cayena was also hoping for that as well. Hence she supported Rezef by giving snacks and some advices, etc.

But, I'm not sure, since I ain't a psychologist maybe there was something more that needs to be done for Rezef's mental health. I could only say he was extremely sick mentally because of the pressure and suffering since he was just a children.

Cayena wanted to change her surrounding to be loyal to her but Rezef's obsession over her advanced too fast. In the end calling back her nanny is the emperor's decision so should I say it was bad luck (?), for the plot I guess.
