That the Empress is suspecting the count of a coup since arkhain's aren't being treated well and ofc the count is one of them. I feel like that tattoo on his back seals his power, that's why his eyes doesn't glow in the dark. And the empress needs that sculpture of a woman with a symbol under it. Or maybe the count is an illegitimate child of the empress since both of them have red eyes. There are so many theories I thought of but we'll see what happens.
I have the same thing that happened to me too. I have a best friend, whos also my neighbor. We're close and we always hang out. But we didn't go to the same school in our first year of hs and then i transferred there cause i have another best friend(ive been friends with her since kinder). I moved there so she wont be alone but then we didn't end up in the same section. And so im in the same class with my neighbor. We're still close but then she have other friends. And idk what went wrong, she started talking to me as if im getting what she wants. Its really a long long story but to cut short, we didn't really talk after that and they moved. And i think we started to drift away because a friend of hers is jealous of me. And i have no idea why until my best friend since kinder told me that her crush has a crush on me. It was so so funny to think that people hate u because something of that. I didn't really know anything about it. And im just regretting so much cause i didnt talk to my neighbor before they moved away. Its so messed up that some people will go lengths to cause a rift between relationships. Like we're just tryna live?!? But anyways i hope that all of them will apologize to Ham cause its really traumatizing. I don't socialize a lot anymore cause im so scared. But on the other note im happy i still have some of my bestest friends on my side! I really really love yeoryeong for staying on dan-i side











Eunhyuk is her first love and they shared a lot of moments but girl stand up!! The author could go in a different direction instead of giving us the same ml again. Sooae could just move on, if you think realistically she definitely will move on. Being ghosted like that is hard and then you will try to get them back together. I don't think Eunhyuk's character can redeem himself to be with Sooae so just make her move on to another guy. It would be okay if it's a new character that would give and extend the story more but that's what you can experience when you're an adult. You will outgrow the people you've been with and you'll change. I really hope this will change :(
