. the blond guy, is the bad guy. HE REALlY IS A TWO FACE bastard
Right? I didnt read ahead but based on the story giving all these red herrings. Also, he is next in line to the throne. The untold variable that hot added to the mix. If he sets the emperor up and ruins his relationships with the people and church then everything will work in his favor. Also, that childrens book is hella prophetic
i realized he was the bad guy after he told mia that leana is just the queen and the empress spot is still open. he knew mia liked the emperor and he encouraged her to continue, to become empress. idk why he wasn't in the original novel though, but the emperor is known as the "villain". i'm just wondering if the blonde brother is the "true" villain.











wait a minute everyone is talking about rape but she wasnt rape BUT SHE GIVE IN , into lust, and the flavor of power, and the sweet talk of the fucking old man. She did have sex with him cus she wanted power.
girl she refused multiple times then was manipulated and blackmailed
And here I thought it was about the FL raping the doggie . . . . . cause she tried . . . . .
She was blackmailed "After" she got Pregnant. Which means the Baron was trying to yeet her when she got pregnant, but she so desperate she was used again as Spy.
She was not raped, She gave in with the Baron's sweet words and aggressive advances It was clearly stated.
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
But I am not siding with the Lustful Piggy Baron.
Aggressive Advances may not be deemed as rape, but he may be Molesting or Harassing the poor Maid.
It's not rape but it's still sexual harassment.
She refused from the start. You can see she was always uneasy with him, and was forced to be polite by her status.
She said she has a partner that she loves and begged whats his face to back off. I don't understand how you confused that for lust.
She was sexual harassed into give it in sounds pretty rape like to me, she even tells how much she loved her fiancé and how she cut off with him for not feeling worthy, she refuse multiple times until she couldn't.
Later, once as she felt she had nothing more than him, she began to relay in his power and vented his frustrations on her coworkers.
I personally think that sexual harassing someone like that and using their status and power to make someone vulnerable to give in, is some form of rape, while she might not be screaming for help while doing the act, that was product of him using his power on her, I don't know how would that work legally, and that may change depending on the country, morally and ethically is what is being debated here.
I personally don't think it looked like and aggressive flirting and sweet words as some suggest, as much as an abuse of power and status, she was in a position where she could not easily refuse.
Nvm my previous comments She was Raped.
I hate to see someone get Raped in Stories that are not in Hentai/Porn plot.
