If I remember correctly, the King asked the Minister of culture and education for a friendship/mentorship between his eldest son (the one with dimples, taller, and son of the queen) and the MC (the only son of the Minister).
NOT asking for the ML (the youngest one, son of the maid woman, poor background) and MC friendship/mentorship (as we have seen how the King's plan was to psychologically humiliate the ML to the point of living like a corpse).
Ohhh my apologies, it just seemed that way to me due to the beginning I was wondering how ML and MC got close then. Thank you for the explanation lol
Im so interested because why would he forward his dad to guide his son or whatever if he doesn’t want him to rise up. (Unless I read wrong) but it’s so insane that that happened to ML just because he was sensed as too great at the start
