Who hates how the emperor manipulated the eldest sister. Personally, I hope they have a "on paper only" marriage and she divorces him when the contract is up, leaving him without an heir with their homeland's blood or abilities. I won't wish anything worse on him, but I sincerely don't wish him success in this endeavor.
The middle sister (older twin) is an idiot, but Theo is the sweetest. So, I wish them all the best. The younger twin and the magic dude are fine, but I personally vote for a quasi-offscreen romance.
Also, is the blonde child the emperor's younger brother or is he Theo's younger brother? Still not clear there since the translations are different.
If Garam actually overheard their convo and he's mad at Jaehyuk, that's some serious bs. Jaehyuk just made it absolutely clear how down bad he is for Garam and how protective he is of his man.
If he didn't hear anything, he should at least be giving Jaehyuk the benefit of the doubt. Dude has always been pretty transparent, even when he was a douche canoe. He's also had one of the strongest redemption arcs, where he's been dang near the embodiment if a green flag. Garam needs to stop taking his trauma out on Jaehyuk and punishing him at every perceived possibility of a slight.
Aaargh, so frustrating!! I feel so bad for Jaehyuk (Garam, too, but dude, trust your partner at least a little bit, damn), especially since this is their FIRST real date.
That'll teach the ML to respect boundaries and knock before barging into another adult's room.
Also, the bit about his dad hating him, driving him away, etc. because he looked like him. Then the saltiness that the ML didn't see it, bc if that wasn't true, then why did his dad always treat him like that. (And it's obvs that his dad treated him like that well before he was old enough to cause problems, so let's not victim blame.) That hurt.
His rationalization was hilarious, though.
Eruki really seems to be the one who is grieving Shirone the most, to the point that it's driving him insane. Every bit of his behavior in the last bit of that chapter was amazing, from the going beyond the limits of death (and calling out the other two for not being willing to) and his spicy moment with the dark siblings.
The bit with the rabbit in the moon, that's stuff parents show kids. His comment about, "Why did no one show me this?" broke my soul a little bit.
Also, the fact that he didn't blow up at the ML for washing his pants in the washer, but just pointed out that he dry cleans them and why. So many people are calling him spoiled, but he's being rather laid back for a spoiled kid. Also, I give him props for having money and still taking care of his stuff. There's plenty of truly spoiled kids who wouldn't even know the wash routine for their own clothes. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I digress, I hope ML continues to warm up, because MC needs someone to really love him. I also feel like the ML might be someone who would stand up to the MC's dad or support MC in standing up to his dad in the future. Also, maybe if the ML could be a little more flexible, that'd be great. I finally see potential, though!
then at least give us a harem ending. Soften the blow and lower the toxicity a bit.
I don't think there's an excuse for the way he started off. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also, the way Maythan just accepts the situation without blinking an eye is highly suspect. I don't trust that the Duke will pay his dues, so to speak. On the other hand, the prince has at least put in the time to (try to) woo Maythan, even if his methods are questionable.
However, I'm really counting on sir knight to balance out both psycho boys. He was my main pick from the start. ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ










I have a hypothesis that the MC is an unpresented omega, which would make sense given his parents being alpha/omega. What I mean is that he is genetically omega, but never went through the second gender puberty (aka presenting). I think ML found out either during their childhood, through testing his DNA, or snooping into his medical records, and now he's gungho to force the presentation.
So, I think it will work. BUT!! I don't think it will go as well as he planned. First, the MC wasn't originally bottom-leaning, and it will be a huge shock to his mental state to become an omega. He will probably feel betrayed by ML for quite a while. Second, the second ML is prolly gonna pop back into the picture once pheromones are in play, and they'll either have a close or direct sexual encounter.
Since the MC is already weak for the ML and this story is a touch cliche, he'll end up choosing the ML in the end. I think some dark shizz will hit that fan first that outs a lot of the ML's backstory, which will gain the MC's sympathy. Then they'll have a baby together. (That last sentence is just my hopeful thinking ♪~(´ε` ) )
Ooooor..... the MC presents before the meds can be applied and he's already knocked up. Choices.
(There's always the chance it doesn't work and MC stays beta, but that doesn't have the same story appeal, I guess? It'll take a much more psychological route than has been hinted at so far in the story.)
I srsly hope it's the second option and MC doesn't suffer as much
