So let's discuss this
The king ain't no dumbass he knows some shits up just needs to uncover it and keep it all confidential since it could lead to like a whole ass war.
Rachel's eyes were full of sorrow because she and the other siblings actually really loved Shuli, they just such at showing it, they were finally gonna display said affection with this whole ass little plan they had, then men pulled up to the wedding and reveal Shuli has been murdered, same with Jeremy, Nora's investigation cus he's talented, a dukes son, and capable of defending himself, they might've sent Jeremy if ya know...it wasn't his mom's brutal murder they were investigating. O'hara is hella shocked cus she only wanted Shuli to leave the residence she didn't know a damn thing about this murder plot and feels guilty as her actions played a part in it.
yup agreed with everything you said ╥﹏╥ rachel looked SO excited to bring shulli to the wedding and then the panel where she turns around and says « brother » bye i lost it
idk much about ohara but she doesn’t seem evil at all to me, just very human and she probably feels like a wreck right now :(
jeremy genuinely loved shulli (no matter what kind of love it is he genuinely cared for her) and so was it for the kids as well :((((
nora.. yup just like you said it makes the most sense that he is the one investigating (status, reputation, personality etc)
and thank you for saying the emperor ain’t no fool and he knows stuff is going on (i didn’t think about it thank you for answering my question :,)) and like you said, the church is the church, they most likely have very strong influence on the people and who knows what can happen if the truth is revealed.. it could even lead to a civil war if the church manipulates the people into thinking its false accusation from the imperial family to weaken the church’s power :( ouch no fun

does the emperor ordering nora not to reveal the truth to ANYONE if he finds out about it mean he already suspects the church? does that mean he already knows its much more than just a case of the marchioness being murdered by bandits on her way to a villa?
why did rachel have to have so much sorrow in her eyes, why did jeremy have to react like this, why did ohara have to look in such disbelief and so guilty, why did the emperor have to say not to reveal the truth, why did nora have to be the one in charge of investigating im so hurt and crying ╥﹏╥
