Can someone just kill the brother already? Every time I see him and his self-inflicted insecurities I want to punch him.
And since we're at it kill the ex-fiance as well, yeah, yeah, it was all a ploy of the prince, that's why he took the ex-fiances love, so he could manipulate them and help in killing the MC, but idgaf, fuck him for helping in the assassination.
"I'm sure the king was protecting you all this time"
I mean, I don't want to sound rude, but that sounds like bullshit, how exactly is it that the king/former hero couldn't have directly helped his friend and taken away the empress's authority, if you ask me what she did to the saint/former hero would have been enough to execute her.
“Yes, let me cripple her power which leaves her unable to defend herself, criminalise her existence and have her exiled and homeless. That’s the safest I can make her.”
Boi, y’all literally fought a demon army and won to SAVE THE WORLD. The people revere her TO THIS DAY. And yet you allowed all that to protect her against a COMMON HUMAN TYRANT? Tsk.
They announced the consort as "Empress Dowager" when she entered the ballroom?* I feel like the only reason they announced her like that was to disrespect the empress, the title doesn't fit at all (she's not a widow). I swear the consort has her hand so far up the emperor's ass she could puppeteer him like a muppet.
*This comes from someone who knows nothing of royal/noble etiquette, but it looks disrespectful af to me.










Me after the reveal of chapter 4: "Holy shit, I was not expecting this twist. This dude can run so fucking fast, omg.". For real tho, he was halfway out of that hallway and suddenly he teleported to the stairs, lmao.
