no matter how many times i read this i cant understand the problem with a heir, the first queen is also apart of the royal bloodline so couldnt she just take the throne with her man of choice and still keep the royal blood alive?

Makes sense but I think the manga kinda has hinted the inevitable love between the king and first queen. Like they literally spend their whole time together since childhood there must be a bond and such... but maybe it's not true or realistic coz they both were confined to only each other and there wasnt much choice for them either. Their whole future was decided by others so they didnt had other experience either.. all in all the first queen is maybe infertile or something happened to her children, she cant give birth. Marrying another wont make any progress.

She's a girl, so she can't inherit the throne. That was implied. Therefore the prince born out of wedlock had to become king, and then marry her for support through royal blood. She wants to thin the "dirty" blood of the maid that have birth to the king through royal blood (her own or that of other royals of their nation).

honestly hannah deserved to die and lot of people in the comments are complaining that she was killed off but she initially is the reason why leila is in the situation shes in, it doesnt matter if she "regrets it" she still carried out the plan and she only started to regret it once she became a victim. she made her bed now she has to lay in it.

she did regret it though? It wasn't that she was taken too, but rather that she actually loves Leila. She knows they aren't going to kill Leila, but on the other hand, her brother has a high chance of dying, so she chose the outcome that had the least deaths as far as she could tell. its a bit more obvious in the novel where they actually have a whole discussion with her before she dies. But she was basically being threatened into the kidnapping. maybe she could have made better choices but she's just a teenager and its understandable that she didn't know what to do.
we as reader care more about the MC than unnamed side characters, but from Hannah's perspective obviously her brother is worth that risk. Hannah's death is supposed to be sad. it is a lot more jarring in the novel too and adds a good bit of angst there to transition into the next segment.
tbh i like that she died, but that is because i love angst, not cause i think she deserved it. I don't like how they are cutting out so much of the emotions out when making the manga....
as much as i love this manwha i absolutely hate the ending theres so much more thing i want to know like what happens to carsein, allendis or jeuin? do they ever settle down? i wouldve loved to see tia's kids
