Thanks for some of your explanation, though I would appreciate it more without the accusation that I hadn't read the chapter. The progression of information in the story isn't the greatest, and name drops without clear identification of the character can leave the reader stumped, and no, I wasn't the only one confused. There are still flaws in the plot progression but I'm assuming those will be cleared up over time.

I think I have transcended into a different dimension of confusion, which is super rare because I am normally great with story lines.
Who is the 'child' that they are referring to? I thought it was the blonde dude, because they say there may have been romance, but the blonde guy called the mc 'Ellen', but I thought he was supposed to be posing as the crown prince, 'Hector'? And what was with the money thing at the end? And why did he have to stand for 7 hours.
Im so confused.
