If it makes any difference it isn't his genetic dad at all, it was bothersome to some extent tho-
that doesnt make it any better the king still raised them as his own kids so he's their dad, whether they're biologically related or not. i just dont get why the author chose to include that
I think it was out in to be more of a physiological thing- like the kid had no one and then there was this dude that saved them or wtv, it's definitely fucked, but not unrealistic (sadly)
when shio started imagining his DAD while he was having sex... yeah i almost had to close the tab. WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THAT you couldve just had him be jealous of alexander without the whole fucking his dad thing if anything, that wouldve been better cuz that whole thing really served no purpose the rest of the story was nice but that really threw me off
