So basically just like with Zeus in greek mythology this tragedy could've been avoided if the emperor was loyal and did not stick his stick where it didn't belong.

Actually, I think that this time is different, I agree with the asshole of zeus, but in this manhwa is more a one-side love, the blond girl who "loved" the crown prince that would be the present king, he treated her "coldly" because she thought (according to the implicit story) that her status, her own person and her love for him was enough to make him love her, when he was just being forced to accept those feelings of her (and the good background of her family) and when he fall in love with the brunet girl and brought her in, the other girl delusion/fantasy fall off, THEN she, having oppressed him since childhood with her "love", broke into rage and did blame the brunet girl and her innocent child (the little girl that also was imprisoned).
Sorry, I don't remember names, and also I don't think that was a cuestion of loyalty, the actual king was young, didn't have the enough power to deny the blond girl advances and the interested nobles.
I think that was a matter of tragic lives that collided in tragic ways

Jesus, some of the people in this comment section are so toxic, acting like having beautiful features makes the ml not manly enough for their daddy issues smh. Just because he's not the stereotypical ml with shoulders wide enough to embrace an entire harem, chin that can cut onions and two frowny parallel lines for eyes doesn't mean he's not good as an ml.

[Spoiler] [ from the Korean novel, read at your own risk]
OK, so from the novel I estimate that there's going to be at least another 40 ch until the sweet sweet release of the divorce (in the webtoon) and another at least 100 chapters until the webtoon catches up with the novel (which has not ended yet)
So, basically in the latest chapters rashta is incarcerated in a tower and while she awaitsher trial and punishment shes tormented by all she's done gets crazy. Not long after someone gives her a poison pill throug the hole for food (we dont know who that person is tho)
Viscount rotchetsu and his son (the father of rasthas first child) will be executed way before that beecause of all they did.
The bright orphan girl that studies magic at the academy under the empress's wing will play a big role in the future and will even save navier a couple of times. Her biological parent will be executed too since they comploted with rotchetsu and rashta and even tried to kill their own daughter which they relentlessly searched for (the will not know its her until a few days before the trial and even then they will not tell anyone that shes their daughter because they don'twant to make her suffer more and remember her parents as the criminals that triedto kill her).
Sobietsu will drown himself in alcohol every night while crying before the painting of navier and himsef after he finds everything that rashta did.
Rashtas baby will be taken away by the nanny that took care of her since the little girl was born and while running away her carriage will be overthrown by bandits and the baby will be stolen by a couple of bandits that always wanted a child but could not have it (they take the baby while thinking of raising her as their own daughter). Meanwhile that playboy duke or whatever (dont remember his name) will extract revenge on shovietsu by planting the seed of doubt in him (he lets a piece of paper in a safe that states that the blood test done on the princess could have been faked) (tho we dont know and i think we will never know if thats true or not). But because of this he starts searching for his posible daughter but they can only find the carriage with the viscountess that took her and bloody baby clothes in a cave further away. When the thinks that he lost everything, shobietsu enebriated and heart-broken throws himself from the window, he does't die but loses his memory for a while reveting back to when he was still a prince(around 19years old).
Before that navier was attacked or something and was in a coma so shobietsu send that magician girl to save her with her healing magic(the falling from the window episode happens while the magician girl is away to save navier).
And thats kind of all that happens as of the latest chapters. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
