Nope you ain't the only one, probably because readers here justified his behavior for being a total btch, the readers should be aware that Nathaniel married into a poly relationship and therefore he knew what systems are in polygamous marriage, so readers should stop acting like he did not consent to poly relationship, he's the one who wanted to secure his place, he should've done his work properly instead of blaming it on MC who initially wanted a peaceful life, MC is completely blameless here, he only "does what the king wants and acts how the king wants him to" that even he fooled himself into thinking he fell for him all because he already gave his mind and body into an awful guy. I don't pity Nathaniel one bit, I don't like him even a bit, he blamed and attack mc shows that he lets his emotion gets the best of him, he never actually loves the prince because even in the novel, all he wants to do is to secure his place in the palace (later in novel, you'll know why he wants to secure his place, it's the typical villain type where they were forced by their family to secure an heir to the throne)
It was clear from the start that it wasn't about love but more about status and possessiveness... The fact that he keep saying "I will be the one to give birth to the heir" and not "I will be the one to get the love of the King" ... It's not because he is beautiful that we should overlook his behavior. MC shouldn't have shielded him... Even more bc he knew that in the original story, his baby died bc of him
Based from other readers, that doesn't seem to be the case, they keep saying he's neglected when he had a whole bunch of followers beside him ready to fight for him even when they spouts nonsense, they're actually ready to defend him. I mean have they even look at Nathaniel's hair, dresses, and mansion?? He's clearly not neglected, he got all the care and attention so wtf are they talking about, they seem to think that he love ml when he literally don't, their reading comprehension already left their brain
Also Mc seemed to be the only one who's taking care of his garden when he could've ordered the gardener to tend his herbs, compared to Nathaniel who had a whole garden full of healthy roses and other flowers, bushes shaped into a beautiful labrynth with a designed entrance, yep definitely neglected
Am I the only one to be frustrated with Nathaniel ? I Am pissed he wanted to harm and bully our MC as if the King did not use his own two feet to go sleep with him. If the one negleted was our MC and our MC did what he did, do you believe he would have shielded him ? I'm aware he is also pitiful, but I'm frustrated that bad deeds are always brushed under the rugs when they should be propely addressed, then forgiven. At this point, the translation King should leave on to be with the other one if his behavior continue to cause such problemes...
