"So you know all those side pieces, the ruler normally has in stories, that has most of the power and persuades the ruler to make certain decisions? Yeah, I'm gonna need you to do that for the sake of the country "
With the way the Manga referred to her, you'd think Yukiya's mom was someone with a low status especially how the praised his step-mom for raising someone who wasn't her child, but nope
So Yukiya's mom was the northern lord's second daughtet that was very sickly so they thought she couldn't have children and thought her life was gonna end some so they wanted to make her happy by marrying who she wanted
When they married, she was mostly bedbound and everyone thought she would die within a year, but she just kept living past the time they thought
But the heir issue came up, she was too sickly to have children and the plan was to let Yukiya's dad to remarry after her death so they had Yukiya's dad get a concubine (after Yukiya's mom survived for 6 years) which is the present lady of the house and the mother of Yukiya's brothers
Then the eldest son was born however no one informed Yukiya's mom that his dad was getting a concubine. And she was pissed because she grew up with mother of Yukiya's brothers so she gave birth to Yukiya then died
The issue of inheritance came up because Yukiya read a difficult poem before his eldest brother did, everyone from the Heads of the north and his relatives thought that Yukiya should be the next lord not his elder brother. Since Yukiya is of higher standing due to his birth mother
Everyone was also talking shit to his step-mom's face and blaming his dad for the death of his mom
So Yukiya decided to act as incompetent as possible to stop

I thought there'd be more of a mess with the former crown prince being alive
Doesn't that invalidate Chang-gyeon's sit on the throne or once you are on the throne then you are on the throne, no new information can affect that
Unless there is a plan by the ministers to install the Eldest brother back on the throne now that they know he's alive because Chang-gyeon is just too much
If the Eldest brother just shows up then fucks off, I will be Hella confused
Actually, do we know if Chang-gyeon is a good king or even running the country well? We know how he treats the people in the palace grounds but what about for the common folk
I think in the super beginning it's said that he lives luxurioudly while the ppl r dying of hunger and sickness. I think it's when MC is trying to help a sick town that he's taken in by ML to tge palace
Oh.
Yeah, there's gonna be a coup

Can't put my finger on it but the Eldest brother rubs me the wrong way
theres a reason he's dead
Like when he easily called him "brother", I was like "the last time you two were in the same room was the hot spoon incident and you never tried to reach out to him after but here he's being ....... nice" I'm abit suspicious
He's not dead
Girl, you living the dream.
You better not fuck this up
Exactly what I was thinking

Imagine if he just put wholesome shit down, like "rub my head as I fall asleep" because he wants a specific kind of intimacy.
I will throw something
I can imagine him asking such a simple thing
