he slept with her while thinking she is younger than 16(which is still young too). He's a literal pedophile. I find it quite disgusting. Also i really dislike her personality.
I think she has some kind of "charm" that make the people of this country like her, it's kinda obvious that they are not acting normal, it can be just writer forcing things but it looks so weird that I can't see it like "natural liking"
She acts and looks like a child in terms of personality a really younger child and makes sense people naturally find her "lovely" but not at this point of having possessive feelings for a girl they just met so to me it is a magic effect (and let's remember that of what we know of the 6 people she met 4 immediately demonstrated possessive feelings, of the 3 man 2 "fell in love at first sight")
As the king part it would make no sense at all a 25 years old not controlling himself after a life of self restrained (for what I understood he is not a virgin but he used contraceptive cuz he wanted his younger brother to rein or just didn't want to be emperor, having the kid legitimacy questioned as a bastard himself etc even if it was his duty to do so) I see why he would help her, find her cute and get along and I can totally see having to literally take care of a cheerful child bring him some joy and relax after a life of heavy things and heavy duties that he is finally free from but him feeling sexual desire for her came out of nowhere, it was literally like a "charming magic" the same for his brother that out of nowhere feels "romantic attraction" for her actually I can say by his flushed face it can be sexual but he doesn't know from where it came from so he believes he likes her while the ML a older person can clearly say it came from a sexual place "our bodies are compatible", additionally he likes her personality, she is pretty, a legal adult, can be caring his child and need his protection and care so to me he is just taking responsibility while putting her in the most obvious place for this situation "his lover and wife" additionally he is trying to see her like that but it is clear he still treating her like a traumatized child (what she is)
To me I can't blame ML for a clear plot of the writer cuz we are seeing things from his perspective and the sexual desire and impulsive actions really came out of nowhere when he was looking at her eyes, like WTF? If he was a pedophile he could have a kid or a young looking 16 old way before as a emperor or royalty, if he wanted to get married and have a kid with her he totally could, why now with a total stranger that he doesn't know from where it came from and could totally (and likely) be send by a enemy?
Bad writing most likely but seeing it from the point of view that "god/writer" is forcing things to happen...it is really interesting
There’s so much I could say about this but I won’t. I’ll only say two things.
The female lead is traumatized but it’s obvious that she issues sex / skin ship to deal with her problems. I mean her original boyfriend was a psycho but because her brother didn’t approve of him, she dated them in secret just to avoid hearing her problem say anything.
It’s that ex Emperor/Vlo that scares me. He didn’t use protection, didn’t know her age, barley knew her name yet slept with her on the first day the meet? An I’m supposed to believe this man never had sex before that? Also— he managed to fall in love with her within a week?
