LMFAOO THIS JS THE MOST SENSIBLE COMMENT IVE SEEN IN A WHILE (still hate the bio dad bc he abandoned her only bc she didn’t have fairy power or wtv tho lmao and no he didn’t get brainwashed with magic apparently he just didn’t believe her even tho she looks exactly like his late wife and him
maybe the real treasure is the yaoi route we made along the way
(and i need the emperor to take up in the ass because hes just a whiny lil btch)
This is hysterical!
it’s the fact that this was my first thought too like why fight for custody when both of you can get custody by marrying each other
I feel like with the knowledge that her bio and adopted fams love her (without the original plot of her bio ones being worn out from an almost 20 year misguided search and never sensing the signal of her aliveness - that consort did a great job plotting that for her purposes) the best way to have everyone be happy would be for the emperor and archduke to marry eachother after getting the empress kicked out. They can un brainwash Azella together (hopefully - she’s still a kid) and still have the family.
