so i will start off by spoiling something very big.
- the emperor is able to control regis w a ring that makes him completely unaware of what he is doing and of his surroundings. he only realizes what he's done once he's free from being controlled.
THIS TIES BACK TO WHAT HAPPENS IN JUVELS FIRST LIFE
- so yes for the people wondering regis did give her the sword to protect herself and the reason max showed up was bc regis asked maximilian to have her safely taken out of the prison she was in.
- in exchange he would help max overthrow the emperor.
- the reason max said those words once he entered the cell was bc he needed to be as covert as possible bc the knights guarding the entrance to her prison cell were some of the ones that worked under the emperor.
- if the emperor found out that regis and max were trying to get her out, he would have used regis to kill juvel w/o him knowing.
- in the first timeline juvel and max didn't know each other AT ALL (well kind of i'll explain in another post)
- so we all know what happened next yadayada she killed herself.
- when regis found out she killed herself he went BATSHIT CRAZY bc at this point who was he protecting?? the only reason he was alive was to keep his daughter safe but he failed her.
- he has this really sad pov where he's like 'why did i do this?' 'why didn't i keep you safer?' 'what's the point of anything anymore?' like he completely lost himself.
- he ends up going on a rampage and kills everyone including the emperor who is the perpetrator of all this.
- now if you remember from a couple chapter back regis owns a pendant. that pendant allows the owner one wish at the cost of their life. it was given to him by his father.
- so he ends up using it and wishes for juvel to get another chance at life and obviously it works.
BACKSTORY ON REGIS
- regis is a transcendental. which is a very skilled swordsman/fighter w superhuman abilities. someone who can use their magic/man and mold it into a sword or into their sword something like that i don't remember lol. HES REALLY POWERFUL THATS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
- anyways he became the emperor's right hand man at a very young age. alot of his peers warned him about it (his father, his wife, max's mother) but at the time he was very naive and just assured him that nothing would happen.
- one day the emperor invites regis over to the palace for a drink. regis thinks its just another day of drinking nothing will happen.
- the emperor's plan was to get regis so drunk that he questions if he's awake or not. it works and regis is really drunk at this point. so as he's drunk the emperor uses this chance to take advantage of him.
- he asks him to sign a contract w him. as you know the emperor is a coward and uses people for his protection and since he knows regis is a very skilled swordsman he decides to use him as well. he talks about the contract and regis being really drunk agrees to it and that's how the contract w the ring started.
- there's more to the ring but it's really complicated to explain so i'll just wait for the manhwa to get to that point lol
- from then on regis's life goes downhill. i do want to say i think regis is probably the most pitiful character in this whole story.
- so from then on the emperor controls him by making him kill (basically murder) people w/o regis knowing.
- the emperor doesn't let regis visit his father who is on his deathbed. he doesn't even let him say goodbye to him like?? how messed up is that. he does attend his father's funeral but that doesn't make it better
- his father's death really breaks regis bc i mean that was his dad and he had warned him about trusting the emperor and he should've believed him. he cries for days it's so sad.
- the emperor makes him miss juvel's birth, his mother's death, juvel's debut ITS JUST SO MESSED UP AND SAD GAHH I HATE THE EMPEROR!!!
PART 2 COMING LOL BC HIS BACKSTORY IS SO LONG LOL
