I think for a fact that he is ready for whatever the emperor will do. In any case, like a prostitute who is ready for his/her customer. Something like that.
What Raonhiljo did was not good given that he'd seen his body that screams sex. It's like, you have sex with the emperor so I will push you as well, something like that. Tho it's good that he stops. Additionally, MC never seen Raonhiljo as some romantic endeavor.l.. like ever since. But with the latest chaps, I think he had conveyed his intensions with the MC. Clear enough, hopefully.
But theeeen again, he is not the end game. And even though he is a "green" flag at the moment, we can never say if he truly what he is letting us see.
And Raonhiljo also treats him w/ fondness and care. And they both have feelings for e/o but he refuses him and feels like he's being raped. That part made Zero sense to me. And he even puts himself in harms way several times in the later phases too. In fact, prob even way before the physical altercation w/ his brother and the henchmen.
Why the heck he remembers his rapist when Raonhiljo kissed him but not with the emperor who always sa'd him
