i think the reason why the baby's hair is black is because when he saved the young Duke, he also has black hair. so my theory here is the Duke's genes of having black hair when he is a kid then having a silver one over time once he reach adulthood could've been inherited by the child. just a guess tho i haven't read the novel or what haha

no but is it really necessary to bring out the red book? and tamper the empress' personal belongings? isn't that should be considered invasion of privacy esp if the main source of poison has been found? if that general took the empress' book containing the confidential info, it just does not sit right with me ://

Back then the empress's job was to look after the affairs of the harem and stand next to the emperor as the mother of the nation while the emperor took the role to look after political affairs, warfare, the nation's needs, etc., so she was still ranked lower than the emperor that's why such thing as privacy for the empress didn't matter to the emperor. If he gave the order to look after the empress's chambers to find out about the poison his subjects hadded to follow his orders which meant searching their majesty's chambers under the orders of the emperor and that's why I am not surprised about the whole 'privacy' thing. I just do hope (if it was the book where she wrote the names of the suspicious people she needs to look after) that this will finally open that stupid jerk's eyes about that concubine he likes too much.
idk why but for some reason, i sympathize why soleia is evil. i understand how hard it must've been for her.
Same tbh
true. she really lost everything and everyone in one night. must have been traumatizing
Yes she's a well written character, we empathise with her because she got reasons
