I keep reading comments abt the Epstein files and thats lowkey so disgusting cause.. tei literally compares shuraka to how he himself was with his mom… so basically establishes that he sees him as a child and wants to protect him from his brothers. He thinks Shuraka is benevolent like the sun and would be a good king for Arnata which is why he wants him to succeed the throne. Theyre both thrust into a “marriage” and Shuraka seems to not grasp the concept of marriage yet calling a grown man his bride and beloved (probably what other people told him cause well, he’s a child and doesnt comprehend the meaning) and Tei is initially like Obaran (the advisor of Shuraka) but takes the role of Shuraka’s knight instead… literally nothing sexual at all.
Meanwhile Epstein was a pedophile that sought after his victims, raped and assaulted countless children, sold them to the rich and powerful and his co-conspirators are being hidden from the public to this very day … its really disgusting to say stuff like this as if Epstein is some internet meme like even in the context of this story its really out of place
