Whose baby is rashes carrying then? If both Navier and Sovieshu are infertile.

IMAO RASHES. ITS SO FUNNY PLS.
It's most likely the Emperor's child. My speculation is that because they both took the infertility drugs, procreation would be made difficult with the both of them. For example, low sperm count + low egg count = no baby. But if you had low sperm count + high egg count(concubine/side chick/new empress) = baby. I think the same would also apply to Naiver too, just reversed. High sperm count + low egg count = baby.

Gosh I was thinking it would go in a much darker direction w Emilykos origin. I'm glad she's a cute circus girl.
So she was an outsider and wasn't brainwashed from birth like the others were that's probably why she stood out. Also why the older members were wary of her before anything even happened. A more tragic route could be that something bad happened to the whole circus troupe and the shadow house decided to let her participate or something happened to one of the original participants of the selection and she took their place willingly or forcefully

There definitely has to be a subplot that hasn't been surfaced yet of some kind of power struggle conflict. The Queen was probably murdered on the way home. The king goes back home earlier but will probably succumb to grief but it's implied he didn't kill himself so he was also assassinated? And the people behind his parents deaths probably used this chance to manipulate the young prince and the events that come after are muddled because he was manipulated with magic of some sort.
He remembers things when they're related to Elizabeth so I think the scene at the beginning of the grandma (kings mom) implies Elizabeth started to be treated the same way as the original queen making her suffer more.

Now that they're delaying the past life reveal so much, I feel like when the both of them do find out the other remembers it will be very anti climatic. Like they will accept it right away and won't have much time to reminisce. The past life reveal will be cast aside for the past-past life reveal of Ianna being a goddess and Arhad being whatever the fuck he was with the pointy ears.
I've wondered why they didn't at least have some slip ups of knowing things they shouldn't but they know so little about each other's there's not much to reveal.

Wondering wtf blondies new mom is doing? Where is she this whole time and she obviously doesn't provide the love he craves so much. I highly doubt he considers her as a maternal figure in any shape or form. Did she just adopt the kid and leave him be all the time like Mam pick if your child he's throwing tantrums
I'm glad I'm not the only one was confused but here what I understand:
Apolonia - Princess, daughter of Gaius and Elenia. Throne successor chosen by her grandfather instead of her mother. Has healing abilities passed down in the royal family and the only one left w royal blood
Gaius Lipper/Ripper- was an ordinary knight, married the princess, Apolonias and Paris's father
Elenia - the og princess, Aplonias mother. Did not want to take the throne as Emperess
Pascal lll - the late king, Apolonias grandfather and Elenias father
Paris - Apolonias older half-brother, son of Gaius and Satine Arietta. Outsiders think he's Elenias first child/rightful successor of the throne
Satine Arietta - Paris mother, her family excommunicated by Psacal lll for being part of the rebel army
Petra Lipper/Ripper - Gaius's sister, Apolonias aunt
