Ummm. Maybe empress and queen is different in this manhwa? Because somehow in many manhwa there's a lot story that empress and queen is different person(￣∇￣")
Commonly in an empire exist an empress which is the main wife of the emperor if there is a queen in it,it is practically a concubine (other wife/ mistress) what they do is assist the empress in their task... From what I know the emperor selects the empress on who is the one that can first give him an heir.. well I don't know if it the same in this manhwa but that is basically it
Mostly empress is the highest wife, emperors can have one empress. Depends on manhwa the ruler can have one or more Queens and their ranks were always lower than empress's
I think she was the previous empress who was killed off so Veronica could become the new one
She called her empress because she was empress previously, but was later killed because of her. She feels guilty.
Ooww okayy
Waitt... Empress?! So you mean the prince' another wife? Because I am sure that's not his mother.. LOL (but if it's his stepmother, then that would make sense)
