I think I kind of understand how shun became the bottom. If we compare to the type of person he had a crush on in high school, you would think shun would be the bottom between the two. And he probably kept the mindset of being the bottom from there. Lots think that Mio should be the bottom because he is the youngest and more pretty face of the two. But there are stories where the cuter one becomes the top. Although I can see them probably switching for both and taking turns

So the girl who was the original empress, the chick the prince looks for a lot, is she a bad guy? Could she have influenced the prince in a bad way when he married Elena disguised as Veronica? Because it seems that way to me if he’s slowly accepting the fact of Lucia being pleasant to be around. If Elena did the same thing and he didn’t give her the time of day, I think a little devil must have whispered in his ear

Not rly. She was just like elena. Her union w the prince was political and elena later realizes that the prince !ight have been more indifferent to the empress. In the current timeline, she will not become empress bec the prince is already in love w elena. And cecilia will be so happy she got out of the engagement lols.
I didn’t expect the stories to connect like that. It was pretty clever of the mangaka to subtly add in the side stories in the background
