in the very first chapter it’s said that the mum ran away because of the duke’s twisted obsession with her. As in he was controlling possessive and all, so she ran away.
WAIT SO THE MUM WAS THE FL??? I THOUGHT SHE HAD PINK HAIR WHY DID THEY SHOW THE BLONDE EMPRESS???
The blonde empress is the Saint. People said to the Duke that the Empress could bring back the death to life but can’t. Bcs of that , the duke keep giving her the head of the dead human he killed
so basically from the very beginning, the mom is the fl while the dad the ml(or used to be until he turned villainous) fl and ml married and had a child but fl the mom couldn’t stand the ml’s obsession with her and his controlling behavior so she ran away while pregnant with mc(duke’s daughter).
They stayed at the viscount’s manor who treated them like slaves, her mom then died and the dad found them only to go crazy cause fl died and then he tried finding various ways to revive her, now coming the blonde Empress.
The Empress has divine power which makes her the saintess and while duke was searching for ways to revive dead fl, someone told him that the Empress can revive her with divine Power which wasn’t true tho.
He went to the Empress and asked her if she could revive his wife but the Empress told him she can only heal injuries, not bring back the dead.
The Duke wasn’t satisfied with that and believed that the Empress was lying to him so he started sending her the heads of the ppl he killed until she changed her mind and brought his wife back, but she kept telling him that she couldn’t bring her back and he then ultimately went mad and murdered the Empress which is why the whole Duke family was sentenced to death in the mc’s 99th life.
i see i see thank you so much!!!
did i miss it or do they literally not tell us why the mum ran away? and if she ran away because the dad was abusive what abt the two other kids?
