a bit confused if you’re asking after reading up until chapter15 but if not, almost all of your questions will be answered through the existing chapters. and spoiler; neither allen nor nathaniel have feelings for each other. they really got married just for the sake of political gain. nathaniel aims to be the bearer of the royal heir and allen just needs an heir.
Like the person above me said almost everything you asked is answered in the chapters we have here but, in case you're nor feeling it lol here it is
1. Allen is still with Nathaniel because they're married, and this is an historical royal setting. Even more so, Allen is the king. Getting a divorce already isn't really all the rae, but for him it's even less of an option... But neither of them ever really had feelings for eachother. Nathaniel at first is enraged that he is being ignored in favor of Chris because he's scared of losing his political position – and Allen used to sleep with him because he wanted a heir. Neither were in love.
2. Pretty early on, as soon as he gets interested in Chris, Allen stops sleeping with Nathaniel. Also he's technically not really trying for a baby with Chris either since Chris hasn't had any heats, they're just fucking like rabbits bc Allen is ine hell of a horny guy I guess... but that's a bit besides the point.
3. Allen likes Chris now because he is, quite literally, a different person now. Whether that's weird or not is more up to personal opinion since this is love we're talking about – but I do agree that it's a pretty rushed ordeal. Not much we can do about it though.
He used the aphrodisiac on Chris instead simply because he changed his mind. He didn't ask for it *to* make Chris jealous, but rather just changed his mind on wanting to use it with Nathaniel once Chris showed he wasn't jealous.
4. This one isn't really a question but... Nathaniel just wants to bear the king's heir, so there's not that much to pity here. He's not feeling down in the dumps for losing a lover, he's just losing political foothold. He seems to be growing fonder of Chris with time, though, so he's been slowly caring less about that.
I’m asking for the whole story and I know I’m asking too much but it’s okay, I’ll wait for as long as it takes lmao. I’m just a lazy guy at times, I have so many other stories in queue. This is for anyone that wishes to answer any parts of the story. I’d love any spoilers to the max
Yeah I figured after some people got it through my dumb ass head. Thanks for the clarification. I understand MC is not trying to have a baby to avoid dying, but I wonder how long he can go with that and if Allen knows he is taking pills
And poor Nathaniel.
1. Yeah I know it’s some political shazaam but it’s not like I’m a big fan of realistic settings either. It would be nice if Allen loved Nathaniel too and somehow worked out a throuple, but nah complicated situations are always better huh! Or Chris and Nathaniel. I’m not really mad at Nathaniel besides the assault on Chris earlier in chapter something, I’m more disappointed and just meh with Allen of all main characters.
2. Does it say he stopped sleeping with Nathaniel? I don’t remember that. Cause why would Chris say this: Nathaniel isn’t pregnant YET (as if he thinks Allen is still sleeping with him). Unless it was said in novel?
3. Yeah not the biggest issue here, love bombing was just funny and odd but I can look past that. Also why does Allen need to use an aphrodisiac with Nathaniel? Can’t they just fuck? Or does either of them have a hard time getting it up? You did say neither of them hold feelings so maybe that.
4. Yeah I wrote this while thinking Nathaniel was one sidedly in love with Nathaniel. I still feel bad for him though because he wanted to be the one to give heir, he was the first one there. If he had a heir, the others including Chris wouldn’t have been there (assuming). If it wasn’t for the fact he had a hard time conceiving, he would have had it all. Well, except love maybe. Yeah after the assault and confrontation in earlier chapters, Nathaniel felt somewhat at ease with how nice and peaceful Chris was despite slapping the shit out of poor Chris. The scene of him being an emotional wreck over losing his position or possibly losing position if another concubine potentially have a baby before him, versus chapter 13-15 is wow. He seems more relaxed and chill with Chris, although still a bit awkward.
2. Chris keeps bringing that up (that Nathaniel isn't pregnant yet) because, as with most isekai protagonists of the "I'm in the world of a novel/game I saw before" genre, he just sticks to the original timeline like it is gospel even though he's changed pretty much everything about it already. Also, Allen has glued himsef to Chris atp, it's hard to think he'd even have the time.
3. He doesn’t ever explain why he wants the aphrodisiac, but it may be a mix of the not having feelings + the fact Nathaniel had trouble conceiving, so the aphrodisiac was maybe to try and make him more "fertile" (weird af phrase but idk how else to say it oof)
4. At the end, it works in Nathaniel's favour too, bc he's going to find a better man for himself. I don't remember 100% if he falls in love with this guy afterwards, or if he's been in love with him for some time now... but one way or another, his love life does get solved. He doesn’t get the high status but at least he gets a family.
And, yeah, he's pretty relaxed now. He's not sunshine and rainbows just because that's not really his personality, but he's overall doing fine
oh and in one of the recent chapters, it’s hinted that he was abandoned by his other father(the queen) and chris assumed that the reason allen suddenly got attached and couldn’t leave chris alone is because when chris started to distance himself in the beginning, he felt like he was being abandoned again and his trauma response kicked in. but that’s just chris assumption so we don’t really know yet. and i also had a feeling that nathaniel will be having another love interest in this story. just my feelings though, not confirmed
Novel readers?? Spoil it all for me pelase
I don’t remember reading much of this. I skimmed through the latest chapters uploaded here. So is the ML/Allen still married with that beautiful malewife? Assuming his name is Nathaniel. He is gorgeous!
1. He introduced himself as the official wife, so I guess so. How come Allen is still with Nathaniel? Still trying to have baby? And he does say that he loves Chris. I guess it’s just political reasons. Also idk how he’s fine with sleeping with Nathaniel if he does know
that the one he likes (Chris) is jealous.
2. Does Allen still sleep with Nathaniel? In beginning it is said it’s difficult for Nathaniel to conceive. They have definitely slept together before, otherwise they wouldn’t know if Nathaniel had difficulty conceiving or not. Chris also mentions that Nathaniel isn’t pregnant yet. Honestly he is with someone like Allen, no wonder why he has difficulty conceiving. Poor beauty
3. I also don’t get what makes Chris (Kaoru) so special. It’s confusing because in chapter 2, Allen is like: you must not have any feelings for me, just an incubator. And Chris simply agrees, but somehow this makes Allen shocked? And he even asks if Chris is jealous that he might sleep with another man. I assume it’s because the original Chris followed him around. But to go and fall in love with Chris that quickly just because Chris changed? It’s so weird.
In the same chapter 2, Allen asked Chris to make an aphrodisiac to use on Nathaniel apparently but then changed his mind and used it on Chris. Why? So had he only asked Chris to make it to see if he was jealous? And he suddenly falls for him? The fuucuk
4. In chapter 3 or 5, Allen mentions that Nathaniel had been inviting him over lately at night, and how he had to fend Nathaniel off, and that Nathaniel looked desperate than usual. I felt so bad for him. Poor dude, having to endure his husband going over to another person’s abode and having sex.
