The emperor knew there was a foul play with the late empress death, did he even launch any investigation? Is he so powerless against the current empress? He can't even confirm the baby's gender until recently and how she's been living until now. It's like forcing her into the lion's den that is the imperial palace and pushing her close to her deathtrap. He's useless both as an emperor and father.
I feel like that’s pretty harsh. He was a very young father and it’s not like he knew the current empress was gunning for the former. What was he supposed to do never let the former empress leave his sight? Also, he kept investigating for all the years, but he had very little to go on and inaccurate information. Also, he’s not entirely powerless. He’s certainly managed to protect his son the entire time. If he recognizes and brings her under his protection from his point of view it maybe safer than leaving her defenseless with the current empress gunning for her. Remember he doesn’t know the current empress was stealing her power and that the duke is aware. In a sense he lost his wife by letting her leave his side he may feel she is in danger
He can’t protect his wife
do you think that he can protect his daughter
And like you sad he can’t be with her all the time how can he protect her
He is just too weak ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I mean everything you can say about the current emperor can be said about her current family.
It's so cute when Almond is fanboying over Bubblegum
Lmao stories like this I need to turn my brain off for a moment to truly enjoy it. I freaking love Mob!! So cute (≧∀≦)
Top commenter said he's a red flag ML. Well FL is also red flag for all reasons others have mentioned here. Like why is there no straight smut with like idk, smart characters??? Only idiots fuck or am I missing something??
If youre looking for a good straight smut, try Kitsch Wedding. It's super good, I def recommend
Because it would be a very short story if they just talked about it a one shot with a quick happy ending. Would also enjoy that but a long story requires drama and no communication lol
This is one of the few historical isekai rofan manhwas that brings up a lot of realistic aspects of what it's like to live in that era. Slavery, war and conquest, even the persistent patriarchy and misogyny masked within that "you don't need to do anything, just be a good wife". Allen is still a flawed husband and father, I get it since it's passed down from his terrible dad, and it was a norm in that kingdom, like I'm not even mad because it makes sense with the setting of the story. Like the "just abort the twins if it means it'll harm my wife", it's clear with that mentality he'd repeat his dad's sin and neglect and possibly blame his twins if Chloe ended up dying. He doesn't respect his wife's wishes and boundaries, he underestimates her intelligence. Like he's such a red flag, but what I like is that Chloe as time passes on she becomes more confident and stands her ground. So I hope she'll dominate more in their marriage and reform the entire kingdom with her influence. Show off your power, gurl (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
... Chloe gun a be PIIISSEEEDDD when he tries and she can taste the herbs in her tea or something.
It was unbearable reading this at first but the angst is surprisingly good so I'm staying for the angst
Damn so far I'm too distracted by how gorgerous FL is, like how is she invisible in the marquisate like shes drop dead gorgerous??? Can't look away from those eyelashes dang
I love some dumb x dumber trope like this
