The king has 2 wives, empress Liza, who we already know, and this girl, empress Ilya, who has less influence in court because she doesn't have children. As I understand it, Ilya is the one the emperor loves and Liza came later as a political marriage. The emperor and Liza also don't get along because the emperor wants to leave the throne to the ML who is his nephew, instead of to the son he has with empress Liza. The other women I'm thinking are empress Ilya's ladies-in-wainting.
Wow thanks for this summary, I had totally forgotten about this lol
Thanks for the information
I'm confused right now. So he is the king and who is the women beside him?
