This is the first time he is time traveling and he traveled back to when he first met the seme. His parents the actual king and queen are already dead. Since the prince is too young duke Amandaris is the regent who is temporarily ruling for him. Practically being the king is the reason the duke is able to get away with all this shit including imprinting on the prince. The prince can’t do a lot to fight against him right now because he isn’t the king yet. And in his first life because he didn’t know the duke’s intentions, the duke had gained too much power by the time the prince was old enough to be king.
The first time he time travels he wasn’t imprinted at all yet or did I misunderstand. How did the duke already imprint on a child and why didn’t the king have the bad guy executed right away from imprinting on a young child!!
