I think it's more like Shin and Wolfgang know the feelings they have for each other but Shin is scared/worried that his feelings are not appropriate, and it would bring a bad reputation to the king. Which is why no matter how much Wolfgang shows him that he loves him, Shin always kinda draws a line...and since you already read the whole thing you know that at the end of S2, Shin asks the emperor to take a bride (not bcz he doesnt love him, but because he respects Wolfgang too much as a king that he doesnt want his feelings to stop wolf from doing what's good for the country, which is why he is also depressed in the first ep of s3)
+ I think all the sex scenes were before the kidnapping but I'm not entirely sure

Yeah I got that he told Wolfgang to get a wife to establish his power and the strength of the kingdom despite his love for him but your comment about how he’s depressed after telling Wolfgang that just made me wonder if Wolfgang agreed to having a bride and if that’s the reason he’s depressed.. fuck
Im up to date with the original storyline and I understand this is just the recap of S2 with sex scenes but after reading this and being reminded of what went down in S2 I have some questions. My biggest question is are they aware of each other’s feelings? Bc I know Shin was trying to turn a blind eye towards his own feelings for Wolfgang but he was finally able to admit to himself when he got kidnapped. But is Shin aware that Wolfgang is in love with him or does he think it’s just Wolfgang’s flirty personality or he feels obliged to give him special treatment bc Shin was the one to helped him become king. Bc as far as I’m aware Wolfgang truly loves Shin and has loved him since they first met, and it’s clear when he said he’d do anything or become anyone Shin wants him to be. But is Shin aware of Wolfgang’s true feelings to him? Bc I feel like they’ve never talked about their feelings. Also opposite to that is Wolfgang aware of Shin’s feelings towards him, I’m guessing no bc Shin didn’t even know himself till recently(or he was trying to act like he didn’t have romantic feelings for Wolfgang) or does Wolfgang know Shin is in love with him and he understands that Shin is trying to act as if he doesn’t.
Next question, in the recent chs of the original King’s Maker the previews for s3 we see Shin’s aftermath of the whole kidnapping incident (him tending his wounds, telling Wolfgang to get a queen and smoking) but a sex scene showed up, so would that sex scene be before or after Shin got kidnapped bc I can’t remember if we got Wolfgang’s reaction to Shin telling him to get a queen, I’m guessing he wouldn’t want a queen but at the same time I feel like he would just to please Shin.
