Does the ml abuse radan in the novel? Like rape and things like that because if that's the case I can't keep reading
Spoiler
...yup. He rapes him. Quite violently at that (it wasn't shown in detail, but in the manhwa they might considering that they added sex scenes that didn't exist in the novel). For DAYS. There was even a scene after that where a doctor visits him and tells him that a bite mark he gave him on his neck will scar and never completely heal :/ (at that point even his knights gave him a disgusted look)
The ML himself admits that he's a bastare and only did it out of jealousy instead of feeling betrayed by the fact that Radan was an assassin, and that he would have done it even if he was actually innocent...
As for Radan's reaction: this all happened while he lost his memories and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON and was terribly frightened by him. Then at some point he kind of escapes when there is a red moon/bloody moon (which, spoiler, is when Radan can open his eyes without killing anyone), he regains his memories, they find him, and we get a tearful and heartfelt reunion in which Radan becomes aware that he loves him, and they hug?!? Then Leshak is convinced he's gonna be hated due to what he has done, but Radan has no intention of doing that and never really addresses it (and Leshak wouldn't care and would confine him either way).
So yeah, he's a MASSIVE red flag
Ugh I HATE when they bait us with a sane green flag ml just to turn him into the worst scum on earth.
I'd even go as far as to say it's dishonest because they know the person reading this will want something cute (by pretending it's cute and healthy at first) and then when it becomes awful they know the reader will still read hoping it becomes better i'm dropping this
can u spoil me what happen at the end? and what happen with his eyes and curse? can it be broken or he cant open his eyes at all until the end?
*SPOILER*
At the end they live happily ever after in ML's palace. MC's kingdom still exists as a subordinate kingdom with MC's asshole older brother as a puppet king (the other older brother, the sick one, becomes very close with MC, very cute TT) and he becomes basically the ML's recognized partner. The prophet tells them that after (I don't remember how many but it takes a lot of years) red moons the curse on MC's eyes is gonna disappear, so he continues opening his eyes when there is a red moon every few months and at one point the curse is gonna disappear AS LONG AS the ML's bloodline doesn't continue, so as long as he doesn't take a woman in to have his child (obviously he doesn't give a fuck). So basically the curse is for the ML's bloodline to be cut off, which is gonna happen anyway because ML has no intention of being with anyone other than MC
I had read the novel long before the manhwa came out and just reread it to refresh my memory, and... damn, Leshak was MUCH more of a red flag than I remembered, and he stayed like that basically until the end of the novel. You guys are NOT ready for what comes after this if they don't change it in the manhwa (⊙…⊙ )
Even his insanely loyal knights all end up agreeing that he's a crazy asshole, which I found kind of funny out of context. Even when they become a happy couple in the side stories, when him and Radan 'fight' they all without a doubt believe that it must be Leshak's fault and take Radan's side without knowing anything lmao
