Dw, Nathaniel isn't neglected, that guy has a followers beside him ready to fight and defend Nathaniel.
Also have you look at his clothes and hair??? His accessories??? Doesn't seem neglected, that guy has a beautiful garden, whereas MC tend his own garden so what neglections are we talking about?? He got all the care and everyone's attention, everyone worshipped him like some god even you and the other readers here
????? Neglect comes in many forms lol.
He IS neglected. By the king. It's literally in the manga, his chambers arent being visited because the king favors his concubine. And as the OFFICIAL husband, it is his responsibility to bear an heir. Without an heir, his standing isnt secure. It's all politics when it comes to all these. That's like, the point of these harem nonsense. Why you see in other manga how the official / first wife would harass the concubine / second wife and their offspring. Power comes from being favoured by the king.
That guy never cared about the ml's attention nor ml's love.
Trust me, I've read the novel version and he never actually love the ml, he's threatened because his position and status is not secured thinking that mc can get pregnant could result him getting demoted
Also he signed up for that, stop acting like he's a fragile bird, he's not pure, he had those nasty followers and sending a mirror gift that basically said that Christ (mc) is basically nothing and ugly compared to him. His garden are beautifully designed, clothes are top notch, getting the best hair care, and most of all, LOVE BY MANY PEOPLE. HE LITERALLY ALMOST HAD IT ALL. HE DID NOT MARRY ML FOR LOVE. HE KNEW THAT HE MARRIED INTO A POLY RELATIONSHIP. HE BLAMED IT ALL TO MC
He's just a gold digger in royal attire, he's living the best life, his status were threatened by Christ
Have you properly read the updates??? "I AM THE ONE WHO WILL BEAR HIS MAJESTY'S CHILD" He's basically saying that he doesn't give two flying f4cks about ML's love and attention, HE WANTED TO USE A CHILD TO SECURE HIS STATUS IN THE PALACE
Did you even read my response. Or are you an alt of the potato guy because the two of you are spouting the same thing lol.
Lets get things straight :
1. I never treated him as a fragile bird, dk where you got that from, idrc.
2. If you understood what I said, you know what I'm pertaining to. Stop being willfully obtuse. The king is not doing his marital duty. Like I said, POWER is having the KING'S FAVOR. If the concubine bears heir over the queen, their influence and power is as good as gone. People will curry favor to the concubine, instead of the queen. Crown Prince, will be informally the concubine's son. And if there are factions backing the two (which usually there are) the concubine's faction will gain more power in the country. That's why the queen is acting out, and why his rancid actions towards the mc makes sense. This is literally explained in the manga, and it's not like the manga is complex... If you don't understand that, this conversation is over.
3. The conversation is not about love, stop making that the focal point and start understanding the manga instead. If you people can understand spoilers, surely, you can understand the manga.
I have read the updates properly, have YOU understood my response?
"Use a child to secure his status in the palace" Exactly?? That's literally the goal lol. Power is EVERYTHING in the political setting. If you understand that, i cant fathom why you don't understand him acting out when MC is threatening is position.
I don't because he lashed out on the wrong person, it will never make him a victim, he layed his hands on someone who had no sh1ts with him. He legit have everything, FOLLOWERS, ALL THE PEOPLE'S ATTENTION, AND EXTREME CARE.
That guy dgaf about love yet that's what readers seemed to think about him is that "I'm so in love with his majesty" and that he's overy super fragile, when he's not one of those, he's not pitiful, he's literally living the best life even more than your apartment could ever be, his garden has all the beautiful flowers and bushes shaped into a creative labyrinth with a beautiful designed entrance. So he's not pitiful, he's not even a victim, he's not neglected either
...are we even reading the same manga? lmao.
Because think, WHY is he lashing out at MC? Because the king favors him.
While I agree he's lashing out at wrong person, it's not entirely illogical either. What do you think would happen if he goes after the king, hm? I'll give you a hint: Treason.
Honestly, I don't understand where you're getting this narrative of him being so fragile and in love with the king, when comments are in agreement that he's in it for power and prestige. Stop convincing yourself with these delusions to fit your narrative. Just because people pity him, doesn't mean that he's being viewed in such a way. He can be a bitch and still draw the short end of the stick, not everything has to be linear.
"He legit have everything" Wrong. If he does, he won't be messing with MC. He doesn't have Power, and the king's attention. You said it yourself, he wants a son from the king so he can secure his place. If he has the means to secure his position, he won't be begging the king to lie with him and be messing with MC whom he deems beneath him.
"He's not even victim, he's not neglected either" Wrong again, for reasons above.
Two things can be true at once: he's an ambitious person who's scheming nasty things against mc, but is also a victim of the king, who can't do his job properly and is letting all this nonsense happen because he can't manage love and duty simultaneously.
If you can't understand all these, then this conversation is over.
I agree!!
If there’s gonna be polygamous, at least the husband needs to love all of his wives, not neglect one to another.
