no! it’s just the translation of the honorifics being used. they grew up closely too, but they’re not related (at least to my knowledge )
yeah thats what i was assuming idk why but at the moment i thought a duke was the kings brother which is why i got confused mb
So the previous (that or the grandfather of the) duke was a distant relative of the imperial family but the dukes parent was a commoner who was adopted into the ducal family and also married a commoner
That’s the most confusing thing I’ve ever read
Basically maybe in simpler terms dukes father was a commoner and married to a commoner but the person who adopted him was a relative of the royal family
i just started reading but isnt he his cousin or???? I'm not dissing the manhwa I'm just kinda confused
