This would all be solved if Rishar just simply became emperor!! If he ascended the throne and not ettiene then that bitch empress will never become powerful again. He literally will have power to overthrow anyone and he can use that power to protect ettiene too. If he really wanted to give him happiness then just become the emperor!!! It's not as free as running away together but it's the easiest way cuz the current emperor already wants Rishar to be emperor SO JUST TAKE IT AND KILL THAT BITCH OF AN EMPRESSSSS!!
Rishar did not do that because he knows that Etienne also wants to become an Emperor
You will know in the later chapter
And if Rishar become Emperor, there will be people who will try to take Etienne's life as his existence can become a thorn in the kingdom
And Rishar just want to be Etienne's knight, someone that can protect
Nah cuz Jinheon is everything that's bad and you can't blame the bottom for feeling that way, he literally lost his adoptive parents(probably got killed by the top or something) and now he probably just wants to have a significant person which he thinks of as a brother bc he wants that familial love.
LIKE GODDAMN JUST RUNAWAY OR GO TO THE OTHER DUDE SOWOON OR SOOWON OR SOME SHIT- he's probably a bad guy too tho... ATP JUST GO TO DOYEON THAT GUY'S GETTING A GAY AWAKENING MAN THIS POOR BABY
I'm no genius in hypnotizing but from what I understand, I think that the bottom saying "close brothers" was the result of experiencing the sex as his original mind and self(cuz the top cancelled the hypnotizing while having sex with the bottom). The repetitive hypnotizing and creating memories from a very intimate activity probably took a huge impact on his mind and slowly became part of his original self and mind is what I'm concluding here.
So basically, because of the so much sex slopslop gawkgawk. The bottom's mind made the memories during the hypnotizing as part of his original memories and self. That's probably why his personality is still the same but his familiarity with the top is as "close brothers" bc that's what his memories tell him(and that sex is normal with the top.. which is dumb cuz what brothers have sex all night all day with each other, like u have hypnotized memories but don't tell me ur common sense got lost in all those)
I ain't sure since I'm just theorizing shit but that is so fucked up if all those are right









The next one is it, DOOMED EVERYTHING FUCK EVERYTHING FUCK EVERYONE FUCK THE NEBULAE AND THE CONSTELLATIONS LEAVE MY JOONGDOK ALONE
