I say this for all of us. Toma needs a nice spanking! Yes, I said it. I hate seeing out of control kids. It shows a lack of home training!!!

Toma has abandonment issues or is slowly developing those issues. His biological mother died and for a while he was depressed and dense like his Dad before his "mama" came. Now he sees sunshine and rainbows which is a total relief. Kids will remain kids no matter what it's hard to expect a 4 year old child to act good no matter how much you parent the child. It took my dad like 10 years of spanking me until I actually learned and that's the issue with every kid

i acted out more and learnt to be sneaky when my parents used to do "physical disciplining". took them a decade to realize that i behaved better when they explained things properly instead (also observed through my sister's kids) but the emotional impact was lasting so they'll always be grey characters to me

What might have been, if Edmund would have went to either Raymond or Elijah with the truth? Elijah has always expressed a desire to save Edmund if possible from the end result of death. She was an ally that he never considered. However, he was caught in a no win situation. He tried to fight the corruption from within and lost. He was no match for his mother. Therefore, he should have said something to Raymond or Elijah, but even that is a catch 22 situation as well. Damned if he do it and damned if he don't.
It is ironic that both Raymond and Edmund becomes the sacrificial lamb. Raymond was willing to die to save Carlyle, and Edmund becomes the sacrificial lamb to atone for his Mother's sins. In turn, the sins of the mother and father falls upon their individual sons. Thereby, saying this, Carlyle becomes the sacrificial lamb for the sins of the corruption within the royal family itself.
I feel like crying for Jihyuk! Boy, I knew I did not like his brother for some reason. Now, his pathetic behavior at times makes sense. He was afraid of being abandoned again.
