Not trying to be rude cause same, but it could be confusing bacause of how long this has been going so I recommend rereading this if you already haven't then maybe it'll get easier to understand?? Or not
Basically the TLDR is the queen has remaining political power due to her ties to her faction & the drugs those faction leaders have been spreading. The prince & the other dude are trying to dismantle the power her faction has while simultaneously trying to deal with the drug problem
I think youre js confused cuz youre reading 80+ other ones rn (⊙…⊙ )
imma still keep reading this but the plot is seriously all over the place imo like what is even happening anymore?? barely any of it makes sense to me ..
