I agree on the suspicion of the eldest prince touching the MC's hand like that. Did he have a little crush on him as well? I kinda remember also a weird gaze he was giving the MC when they met for the first time (or after MC was asking questions on why the ML was treated so poorly). Tho, in the last chapter of Season 1, the eldest prince got a companion who was lowkey similar to the MC (pale skin, long black hair, clear eyes).
The way oldest prince held Sam-myeong's hand is sus. Wonder if he liked SM as well.
And that middle kid, he's still a kid Ik, but he deserved what came at him, if not even worse honestly. CG became the way he is because of the way he lived, it's deeply rooted in him and there's no amount of therapy that can cure it unfortunately, but some of those bastards deserved what he did considering they could treat little kid like animal and abuse him to that extent. (This isn't defending of him, bro is nuts, SM and many innocent one's suffered for no reason, but those from when he was just a kid, well...)
