Joseph is restricted by the feudal laws.
You have to remember they were in foreign lands, technically, and what they did can trigger a war.
The punishments are to prevent a war by showing that those involved were acting on their own and punished for it.
He did the morally right thing, but legally he broke the laws and needs to be punished for it.
It's bs politics, but that's the situation.
Why not tell them of his dragon heritage and his quest?
They might not see him as an outsider then.
What changed him from that scared kid to this ruthless sexual deviant who won't let go of MC?
There has to be more to the story.
He's being stalked by that black unicorn and needles that crazy old man.
They need to stop thinking about coincidences and realize there is a grand plot to destroy the empire from within.
Who profits from the empire falling?
...if she told him...would it have saved Rene?
Or would he still not know the real danger they were in?
I have so many questions.
I am definitely going to need to re-read this again, but will give it a few more chapters before doing so.
Oooph.
He just got the ability to readings again...and it's at that moment.

How much was him? And how much was it them through him?
And what will this sacrifice bring?
They are building up their trust and Silas keeps giving Arthur hints in those moments Silas confides in him.
Huh.
So Uncle got jelly of ML and locked him up in a cave and he met the Spirit of Salvation. Did he lose his ability to see spirits because of this? Or was that when he made his wish?
Later, still as a child, he met our poor MC and wanted to 'become' him.
He made the wish to that spirit (or the spirit of vengeance)...and that's where everything has come from.
But it also feels like something else is going on.
The other side of the red thread...is it someone they both know? And what is ML's relationship to this guy?
He stole MC's position...but not the guy on the other side of the thread?
ML seems very self-destructive and lost. Like he doesn't know what he wants. Or needs...
Damn.
Are ALL the missing women dead? And wasn't she pregnant? What happened to the baby?
It seems like Qin might be catching on somewhat.
At least to fact that he can mess with the prince back.
The beginning of an S tendency in Qin?
