Since there's already someone who investigates the prince, I also want to share about Joshua after reread.
First thing first, Joshua never dare to force his feelings to Emma. Maybe he really seen Emma as an actual angel... Anyway he only do whatever that makes Emma happy. Unlike the prince who take advantages of Emma's kindness and obliviouness (like that one scene when the prince holding Emma's hand), Joshua never do that even thought it's clear he is the one who is much more closer to Emma than other (except her family). And I bet Emma is okay if Joshua ask her to hold hand (since she probably not thinking too much about it), but Joshua never do that. In fact I think Emma is the one who take advantage of Joshua feelings although it's more like a comedy.
Remember Emma's scar? Joshua is the one who convince her that the scar is not a bad thing. He told her the scar looks cool and Emma absolutely agree with him. Not even her family realized that's what Emma want to hear, not some pity, but Joshua understand her better. He also know Emma's true characteristics and he loves every side of her, no matter how weird it is.
Also the stewart family clearly said they don't want to stand out, and they already powerful enough without royal's help. In fact from the recent chapter seems like the royal family the one who need them. So if Emma ever end up with the prince, in my perspective it will only mean their family going to have less power.
Though seems like there's still a really long way before he can convince Emma (and her father especially). So good luck Joshua, you can do this

I was referenced!?! Wow such an honor to be mentioned lololololol. I agree with all of your points with Joshua! I also have to say out of all potential love interests, Joshua would know how to treat that girl Emma rightttt. He just knows what makes her tick and he's just a decent person overall and I love him for that.
At the same time, I'm apprehensive of shipping Emma with Joshua after hearing about her type. She's into older men, not to say she can't fall in love with Joshua.
Ngl, a bit shameless, but uh... I really like older men characters so uh... I am very biased when saying I prefer her to be with an older man in her 20's and apprehensive with shipping Joshua and Emma... I think I'm holding out for an ending like that uh...
I'll see myself out (╥﹏╥)

I don't think Karen is literally judging him for killing people, but she feels confusion about it since she finally thought of them as real people and not novel character. She is not judging him, rather she doesn't really want Raymond to go mad like her
