I mean back in the day that's what commoners had to do ya know? And in her eyes, he's an obsessive son of a bitch so it's not all that uncalled for to make them afraid of him. Also at their age, it's easier to say he's a monster or a demon king instead of actually explaining what happened. Honestly, everyone is so quick to judge and hate on the FL
May be a *spoiler*...
I know right! My issue is, “How did the shadow knights lose her and it took 5 whole years to find her?” It doesn’t make sense!( ̄~ ̄)And what gives... she taught the kids to be afraid of their father? He was never even unkind or cruel to her! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Good or bad, his blood does run thru their veins, too!
Plus, she could have at least been truthful about her pregnancy in her dreams... before she discovered the emperor was infiltrating them, of course... but she chose to bear the burden alone. But then she blamed him b/c he was supporting her from the shadows! WTH Is that really something to be upset about when it was her decision to hide the pregnancy in the first place? ( ̄n ̄) And now she’s acting like the typical woman who thinks the children belong to her only! Is she asexual? NOPE... (︶︿︶)
So all commoners got pregnant by royal families and went on the run when the father was looking for them? That's the standard you're referring to? Mostly likely it wasn't. Most commoners had a stable life In a commoners village with some kind of support system from other residents. What you failed to connect was the fact that most people were addressing and judging based off of her own behavior and actions. He did not seek her out for sex, she chose him out of a crowd. As someone working in the littleral castle of the king, you want me to believe she did know who the king was at all? Even if she was drunk? In the story, when has he ever harmed or treated her badly in any way? I can not recall anything significant. He treated women who were trying to marry him for his status badly because they were textbook gold diggers. It is completely wrong for her to make the children scared of their father with no basis! He was "obsessed" because she was carrying his fucking children, and she was still trying to be a damn knight (WHILE CARRYING TWINS AND BEING PUSHED DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS). She was literally not taking care of her self during the pregnancy. Also in what world is it better to be on the run with children under 6, giving them no kind of stability or a life to build on? She has not put her kids first since the were in her belly.
If you want to empathize with the main character for no reason, you can do that. Just do not do it under my comment! Like I said before, she has worms for fucking brains.
I'm saying most commoners had to leave their kids at home while they were young. Hell I know people who were home alone when they were 6 from 11am till 5pm. And she doesn't have to be physically harmed. The king said that he would kill any woman that came forward saying they were pregnant with his child after he found out she was pregnant(from her dreams). While that was a misunderstanding since she didn't know she was not included that still scared her, rightfully so imo too. Also what kind of virgin ass bastard threatens a pregnant woman that if she doesn't go back she'll be charged with treason and then proceed to fucking chase her around. Istg if he wasn't the ml everyone would feel bad for fl
The main character has worms for brains. Of course the King does not have emotions for his children, he met them for the first time a 5 fucking years old. Also what was the point of making the children afraid of their father for no reason ? Lol this is so trifling. She really left five year olds alone for two days... those knights were social services at this point!
