Wait where are you gttting the info on how he felt about the empress? I dont remember him crying the first time or saying he never loved her and only pitied her
Genas crying was depicted in one of the recent chapters. I want to say this new one. It was when the empress was thinking back on how she "bought" him, it shows tears running down his face.
Genas saying he doesn't love Enoch's mother comes from the flashback of their past. When Enoch happens to see them he drops his book and when he comes back for it he's caught by Genas and asks why he's doing it and if it's because he loves his mother and he says no and that resisting wouldn't change anything so why bother resisting.
The pity thing id have to look again, I think it comes from around when she asked Genas to look out for Enoch. Can't remember, but the rest above I just saw today earlier.
Has anyone read ahead to know what happens between Genas and the Empress? Does she get kicked out? Do they remain together? If so, does it end up being consensual or is she crazy the whole time? I'm expecting some character development from her, a lot of her jealousy seems to stem from her misunderstanding that he loved Enoch's mother. Even though in reality she was raping him and he just didn't resist because she was pitiful. I don't think she understands the relationship between the brothers tbh, she thinks he views him like a son because he loved the mother when really it's that they both survived living with a mentally ill person that traumatized them both. She was the saddest thing he'd ever seen and her saddest moment was her dying pitifully and asking him to take care of her son... Or am I forgetting something? I don't think he ever said he loved her? But the empress thinks it's because of Enoch's eyes. Like Genas is seeing his "first love's" eyes. He cried when she raped him that first time, but I also feel like maybe now after all this time he might not hate her? Like he knows she's obsessed with him. Idk, just a feeling. Will probably age like milk. This could totally end up being her being the next "big bad", with the main characters patching things up and ousting her together.
