I think you are right but you forget some points bro is a man, he is young , he doesn’t have kids … he is rich they have nanny … I m quite sure he doesn’t know how to raise kids or even pets or how to help them be independent they are from another world we aren’t the same as them they have different values, view of point cause in their period if you want you son to be independent you send him to war ….
He was 15 when he left him. Im not saying stick with him forever but he didnt even make an effort to bring him or show any regret in leaving him. If you read between the lines, he knew what he was doing was wrong so he drugged him before leaving.
And yes it is a different time. Times where kings just bed whoever they want, consensual or not yet the readers judge him to the standards of today. Not saying rape is equal to abandonment. But thats why i judge him by todays standards as well, hyungnim isnt exactly a white lotus
Ps: hes also crazy bc his daughter already died of the plague yet he thinks she’s alive
I don’t think he would have left if the King hadn’t forced him to. The King demanded that he left. The King didn’t want him to be close to his youngest kid, so he made sure he broke them apart. I really don’t know what MC could have done about that. Not like he could go against the King’s command.
He absolutely cannot go against the kings wishes (english isnt my first language so i cant iterate properly) but he lives as though what he did was right, as chang geon said leaving him came easy to him
I might be wrong, but to me, that was just him putting up an act while being tormented on the inside.
Haha that may also be true. This is why i like light novels more
Excellent chapter peak author 10/10. I like how both of them are flawed but everyone in the comments always act like hyungnim did no wrong so here:
Bruh i know its like a norm to always take the uke’s side but ts is genuinely pissing me off. He is dismissing and loving changgeon as he pleases as if that little MOTHERLESS kid with nothing to his name is a plaything a little stray dog. Shit i would not abandon my dog either because ‘he needs to learn how to be independent’ cuz bruh YOU made him dependent YOU. Responsibility left the chat. Not to mention he endured being SA’ed just for the little hope that hyungnim would stay while that dude just offs after drugging him wow wow
He knew how troubled that little boy was. He knew the condition he lived in. He knew what he was getting inro. So why didnt he gaf that he abandoned him in that place? He says he cant keep a prince in his palm as if chang had ever even been treated as a prince, much less as a human.
If you guys dont agree with me swap out the roles. Imagine a seme abandoning an uke after KNOWINGLY making him dependent on him, and leaving him back where he found him neglected and abused just because. Yeah. This some bs
