SAY IT LOUDER
This is what i was thinking too, all they do is blame Etienne. Atleast the queen is more reasonable (but not acceptable) in hating Etienne because he is born omega. But to refuse to accept thy hand as a reason? Bruh needs to look at himself in the mirror and reflect to all the years of neglect to Etienne. Shame on him
Here's the thing, the king knew Etienne was being neglected and abused. If I am right, in a flashback to Etienne's past he would be sobbing and obviously on edge. His eyes would be red and the king would just overlook him saying he needed to give Rishar attention or that he was too busy to deal with Etienne. He didn't even want to give Etienne the light of day, let alone keep tabs on if he was being treated well. If it were up to the king, he probably would be fine with Etienne being killed. There is no redemption for EITHER parents. They BOTH deserve death. I'm sorry, but if you are a parent and you are neglecting your child you do not deserve to even be given the OPTION to have kids.
I understand, the king was raped. PTSD does a lot to someone, I know I have it... But Etienne is an innocent party in all of this. If the king couldn't love him due to what happened, the least he could've done was put him around someone he trusted to keep him safe. But instead, he leaves Etienne with the woman who assaulted him and was OBVIOUSLY aggressive about being the Empress. If he is the King and he isn't a puppet king, and he had even one brain cell he should be able to assume that this woman is the least motherly person out there and all she cares about is power.
But I digress, I hate the king and queen and all of these irresponsible adults who vie for power.
