I mean the Mc did fell for the Emperor back then at first sight, and he did loved him but they were kinda in a toxic relationship. But in this time the Emperor is kinda acting strangely off from his perspective and it's not like he can erase his feelings that easily I mean deep down he might still like him I mean he did admit that he's handsome and before he went back in time he was literally going to die for him （￣へ￣）even tho he's afraid and wants to get his freedom. Plus I dont think he's becoming nicer to the Emperor he's questioning why he's acting differently from what he's used to and in denial of him ever changing from being a dick from his past
Oh yeah makes sense!
I like the story so far... meeting the emperor and teaching him things makes sense, it's probably his upbringing in his childhood that made the emperor a psycho in the past. However, I think our MC became nicer to the emperor a bit too fast on my opinion.
I want to know how the past emperor felt in the past when our MC died tho.... it will also be torture but I want to know how his thought process was in the past too. Though it's going to be torture for us readers, I'm just really curious.
