Look, I understand his fear, oddly enough in his extreme refusal to face his issues but at the same time, he is a murderer too did before anything like that happened to him not saying that he’s not a victim, but he wasn’t a good person. Either two things can be true at the same time he killed all his family and siblings and then try to put all the blame on the Empress when he himself wanted to be in that position, so he let out that happen. It’s not like he didn’t have a way out because nothing can happen yet. His siblings get together to Deal with it Even before that, he wasn’t a good person, but I do agree that that does not minimize him being a victim Of her
A lot hate the Emperor because how he treats Mc but we must not forget Mc is a rape kid. The Emperor was raped to have him. Yes it still rape when some forces someone to sex without his approval. The empress forced herself on him.
Also Mc was really cool( sorry the names are difficult to write) how he spoke I was seeing a future Emperor in him(づ￣ ³￣)づ
