I love char but she deserves this after grooming and taking advantage of our innocent ML for so long

Not really he ruled from the shadows using his brother as emperor and made advancements to the empire, making it better.. not because he cared or did it for the goodness of the empire, bt because he could, and he only did it from the shadows because thats what his mum asked of him.... so yh she defo unlocked his tyrant level, he was always capable but because of his mum he didnt. She switched the script

He still murdered everyone who wronged his mom. So that's still pretty far from innocent. And he didn't live quietly as such. He pretty much used the emperor, the only brother who attended the funeral, as a puppet. I think there was a mention of how people were tripping when they realised it was actually Dylan who did everything from the shadows. If I remember correctly.

yeah I probably did use the wrong word but I didn’t mean that she was preying on him in a sexual way just that she was building trust with him only to use and manipulate him for her own revenge (which I think is part of grooming but she clearly doesn’t do the sexual/romantic part of grooming) so yeah anyways

I think she most definitely Groomed him.
Call it what it is, she prepared and trained him for a specific purpose.
Just because he's smart doesn't mean he cant be manipulated.
And yes she was 2 years older but she also had 400 years of memory and knowledge, she took advantage of him, sure he wasnt perfect and he may go on to do shitty things but he also went on to do great things and she feels guilt by what she did to him to get what she wanted.
Groomed is the right word here.
Doesnt always have to have sexual abuse quotations to it, its just its best descriptor.
Our MC did a not so great thing to get what she wanted and she knows it, now karma is coming back to bite her for it, its good writing. No need to feel uncomfortable by it, it is what it is.

I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU JULIUS OMG HE REALLY DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE SACRIFICED AS A TOOL FOR PLOT DEVELOPMENT although I love the plot and his death is important to the story as a girl who would sell my soul to the devil for him im sad HIS CHARACTER DESIGN WAS AMAZING AND IS SO MY TYPE BUT HE WAS PREPARED TO DIE AND DIED pls his death isn’t sad idk what is
