can someone explain why he was mad knowing his mother's relationship with his fiance specifically? if he was mad, shouldn't he be mad that everyone around him was planted by his mother, as a whole?
...i mean technically that fiance was his cousin? i'd be mad too if my fiance turned out to be my cousin lmao
but on a serious note i think what added to his anger in this specifically was: he felt betrayed because the truth was concealed from him. of the three closest to him, his brother is still his brother, his friend is still his friend, but his fiance is suddenly his cousin.
Because he already felt a level of dislike towards his mother. Then he finds out his fiancé (who is suddenly also is cousin) is literally reporting back to the empress. She is the empresses pawn to ensure he becomes a good ruler. She is placed beside him politically and not a bond he formed naturally as he originally thought. So basically he felt doubly betrayed.
OHHHHH
i love how after all that emotional drama right up till the end of the main story we're just straight up getting smut, smut with a side of smut
what does he mean he's being 'potrayed as a poor kid who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time'? that is EXACTLY what happened. why is he trying to look more self aware than he actually was at that moment?
Because he's ashamed of even getting to that place in the first place. He knew it would be shady, he suspected there would be drugs and was warned about the kind of people that would attend. He took the risk and got unlucky, but he is clinging to his ego or else he would have his self perception shattered. He went there to escape a past he finds shamefull, and now he's being told that this shame and his ignorance are the only things that can save his ass, and all in front of the person he wanted to look his best for.
dude lines like 'baby, be good' are so cringe in general but this dude makes it work???
shiyoon breaking down and crying like baby after looking after his group and defending and developing them ever since he came back
I always knew ferdnand had a crush on her, but he could've just been a random nice guy. the author really didn't need to make him a weird stalking incel just to paint his majesty in a better light, he was in plenty of good light already.
he became weirder after his arm was broken??? what kind of nonsensical writing is that
manhwa logic XD
