I dont think they have mentioned anything about the kings trauma atm not any assault. So...but this recent chapter i have noticed a scene from him having some kind of trigger!
He was not assaulted, he actually got raped by his previous wife in order to have a child with him. There was a scene in one of the chapter where the previous wife sits on top of him while having this evil and scary smile on her face, I think that scene alone is proof that Blanche was a product of rape.
thanks, but i was referring to sexual assault. i was just trying to avoid being too explicit about it, i guess there was no need though, since most people seem to know already
Ahh alright than. Most people know because of the comments too.
Wait was this shown? On what chapter? I might have missed it then
it hasn’t been shown yet, it’s revealed later. thus far we have only seen brief flashbacks and hints as to what happened
knowing what happened to the king makes this whole situation awful. knowing both sides of the story as the reader makes it really painful to watch the queen and Blanche get hurt and the king relive his trauma. it makes me feel guilty for not liking him in the beginning but i guess that’s the point, as we’re only exposed to the queen’s perspective at first and eventually come to better understand the king. thus far, the story seems to take the assault relatively seriously, and i hope when everything is unveiled they treat it with the appropriate gravity. i would hate to see it made light of. anyone who’s read ahead, can you let me know if the story treats the assault as a serious matter? just a yes or no would work, because i don’t want the story to be spoiled but i’m also not sure if i want to keep reading if i’m just going to be let down by poor handling of this topic.
