i keep seeing comments about how its not incest because shes not actually related to them...... But then whats her link to the imperial family??? Like her mom was a consort and shes a princess so the logic thing to think is that the (ex??)emperor (castors and the other brothers dad) is her dad?? ( ̄∇ ̄") im confused

her bloodline is a mystery. English readers are not sure abt whether she's actually related to the royal family. But someone mtled it and it say she isn't related. What we know is her mom abandoned her so there are theories that she isn't related to the royal family and her mom lied abt her having the blood of emperor. Well, we'll know more about this in the future ig

Is no one gonna talk about how the first story is literally p€dophilia??? Dude is 16 married to a 26 yo Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) idc if its supposed to be in a renaissance kinda era, making the mc an adult aka AT LEAST 20 yo wouldnt have changed anything in the story.... I dont see the point in making him a minor this is just repulsing

Depends on what ages you believe pedophilia applies to.
Like kids back then got married at ages 15-18. Would an 18 year old marrying a 15 years old now be considered pedophilia now? Yes, in some countries as 18 is the legal adult age, while 15 is a minor, with a mental maturity gap.
Back then? No, not really.
But in Japan, the legal marriage age is 16. But the legal marriage age is 18 or 21 in others, in those nations, a 21 year old marrying a 16 year old looks like pedophilia, but in others, it's not.
"Pedophilia" is a concept which age gap varies based on legal "adult age", culture and well, which era it is. There is no specific ages for pedophilia. Like a 60 year old marrying a 20 year old is technically not considered pedophilia, as the 20 year old is mature.
Maturity back then depends on various factors too, sexual maturity(period) is age 12 (there are 12 year old brides in some cultures) , body maturity (15-18), mental maturity (21-23 widely thought in most Western nations). Pedophilia also depends on what age they think the person is *mature* at too. Basically, ages from sexual maturity and up are not considered pedophilia in some cultures or historical places, because they have different ideas of what age is considered mature & minor.
In modern society, we generally feel that the age when someone is considered to be an adult is 18-21 years old, which is why we feel any age younger than that is considered to be pedo.

lmao yes 18 yo marrying a 15 yo counts as pedophilia, just because it was the norm back then doesnt mean that its morally right.
why 18 with a 15 is problematic is because the level of maturity. during these years people's mind changes drastically. heck a person can change so much in one year.
just because its legally ok doesnt mean its alright guys.

since we're all aware that sovieshu is the one whos infertile, who do you think is the dad of rashtas unborn baby??? like idk how fast everything goes but she mustve gotten pregnant while already being his concubine right? then why would she go sleep around with someone else and possibly ruin everything she "worked" for?

I wouldn't think it'd be him . . . Since I'm pretty sure he's working under the prince (or now king ig) of the western kingdom/empire and is just trying to screw over the eastern empire by helping Trashta secure the empress' throne, because that would leave the eastern empire a mess with the nobles angry and the position of empress will be filled by someone unable to do the job and the emperor won't be able to take back the previous empress as he had planned so the empire will be vulnerable to attack from the western kingdom
Anyway idk ig he could have slept with her but I don't feel that fits with the role of his character and they don't seem to have any sort of physical relationship
this is some omegaverse kinda shit (100% here for it tho)
