SPOILERS FOR EARLY YEARS

Okay, so there’s a lot to unpack here in the beginning so I’ll break it down in sections. I got my info from the first four translated chapters which you can read. After that, the book can be purchased in Ridibooks.com but you need to be age verified.

- EARLY AGE
THERE IS NO PEDOPHILIA. I repeat, there is NO POTENTIAL LOVE/SLOWBURN going on between uncle and nephew.

I need to stress this, because if you go in reading this work preparing to condemn the work in advance, you’ll pretty much lose a lot of details here and do yourself a disfavor. This stone cold uncle DOES admonish him in his own ‘wtf are you doing, man up or stay put if you wanna follow me around’ way while others fawn over the little prince, which others see as teasing because it is a very big deal for the uncle to even pay attention in the first place. I’m stunned because I want to know how did it get from this to the scene we saw in the prologue. As of this point, there is nothing sexual.

- BLOOD RELATION
The novel talks about the loving relationship between the Queen and King (this is where I need to re-read the manhwa again because some of the difference in details is tripping me) The nephew IS BLOOD RELATED to the king because the novel speaks of the child being a spitting image of the king. Edit: I’ve run the original phrase of this in various translation tools, and everything translates to the child being the king’s image. Which means the scene of the servants gossiping about the prince was when he was a baby, and it was only when the prince turned 5 that he fully resembled his king father.

However, THE UNCLE, on the other hand… I haven’t read further - but I suspect HE might actually be the one not blood related.


- THE WIFE
In early engagement days, these two loathed each other from the first meeting. The marriage is purely political , arranged by the Ministries because he was just not interested - the uncle mentions a few times, that because they seem to be similar in personality and pride, their distaste for each other is also evident. He delayed the marriage for as long as he could and the wife WAS PERFECTLY FINE with that. The novel described them as standing with each other in one scene like comrades (then corrected itself in the same breath by saying even less than that, as it implies comrades are close, but they are not) instead of lovers, when MC went to meet her for the first time.

If I were to describe it, remember that 18+ scene between uncle and MC in the beginning? SO if she knew, I DON’T THINK SHE EVEN CARES AND IF ANYTHING, she could’ve been even watching out for them as a guard, that’s the idea that I got from reading about their engagement which is not even like one at all.

This is the end of the translated chapters - I’m still debating on whether to purchase because it just doesn’t read well in MTL so I KNOW I’ll lose a lot in detail. (In other words, I’ll probably buy the book because I want to know what happens lol)
