Bro has not replied to him for days + all they do when they meet up is sex + always trying to make do things he doesn't want to + seen with someone else even though he's re supposedly busy. What angers me more is the lack of communication like I'm sure it doesn't take him hours to reply just reply back but he hasn't done it for DAYS

How TF does the empress suspect Jay if she literally is not (entirely) involved with the mess she calls her son? Plus why is she asking Jay when she knows she's "close" to the Angela and it would more sense to suspect Angela since she is benefiting the most

She's asking Jay because she is close to Angela. Why would the person who is the witch and is scheming tip her hand to the Empress? It's better to obtain proof and witness before confronting the culprit. Who would know better than anyone if Angela is up to something? Jay has a good reputation for being pure of heart, kind, and wise. Even if they are close, someone with Jay's reputation would want to help the Empress against the evil plot of her "friend".
She is also asking because Jay is close to the opposing prince. She may suspect that Jay caused her son to fall for Angela to ruin him so that he would no longer be the crown prince. It would be a great scheme if Jay is shooting for the crown princess title and is trying to make her chosen prince the next Emperor. It seems like the Empress is fishing to see where Jayna really stands in all this mess to assess if the girl will be an asset or an enemy to her.
Ok but why is the countess worried if it's been declared that Isabella was the hoe??? I get that she's scared but the countess could literally stand back and not say anything bc 1. Why would she implicate herself? and 2. Isabella has no real power over her? Besides even if she doesn't agree to do it no one would believe Isabella. Anywaysss I know it's no that deep if she ends up doing it then girl you should die too
