But he will come around, and in an important way too. (⌒▽⌒)

Yeah, this recent chapter he seems to be picking up that his son is a separate entity from his wife and there is now an idea in front of him that his son may be a bigger victim than himself.
Honestly, the easiest way to absolve Rishar is for Etienne to tell his father about being drugged his whole life and spinning the situation as asking Rishar for help as an alpha so he can get off his medication. It would immediately take the blame off of Rishar and permanently take Etienne out of the runningfor the throne. The empress can't kill all three of them.
But Etienne won't do that because it would tie Rishar to him and he doesn't believe Rishar looks at him that way (or that he deserves that kind of attention.) We, as the audience, know that this lines up with Rishar's ideal situation; he 100% wants to be with Etienne.

I see a lot of haters in the comments lol.
Lets speculate here. Seme could ask for the land and do well on it for the future Baek-yo and son. Baek-yo himself is not well educated to make money out of it anyway.
Or just taking it out of selfishness for his own wealth. I have a feeling seme is not good at explaining himself. If he really was after the land he could've just dumped Baek-yo already.. and just for his body? I think Seme is not short of sexual partners if he wanted any

Seme likes Uke right from the very start. It's just that uke is too dense, like i dunno he's assuming seme hates him cos he takes the seme's grandpa from seme tho it's not true. The uke used to be a clairvoyant but how the hell does he not know that seme's obsessed with him. Even Mr. Jung knows how seme wanted him for a very long time. And you're right, the seme is just bad in communication. He can't explain himself because he wants to look cool for the uke. Anyways, the story is good so I also don't understand the hate in the comments. Hmm. Maybe just a bit pissed on how the uke's so naive and dense. But over all it's good. And look at the seme's eyebags he's working too hard. ╥﹏╥
Kenji was an asshole but authornim didn't explain the backstory of why he was like that. Yoshito had a choice to give up but decided to stay on.. glad his suffering paid off lol. I wouldn't have that much patience though ..
