I know right! Just because he knew she's alive and well now he wants her back like, he knows the empress sent assassins and whatnot to the child, did it not click that they want her DEAD?! He's petty cause he couldn't accept not being able to help like, sir, deal with your snakes before you deal with trying to win your daughter back (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Yeah I feel a bit bad for this current timeliness emperor but he really needs to think about his situation. If the Empress lies to you about your child being dead and lies to you about their Gender. Then you find out she's sent assassin's after your child... maybe you need to consider you are the biggest danger to the child like pause bro. Even if she really did want to live with him it's just a bad idea
Even then there's kinda more of a chance the princess and queen will act out violently how much more jealous would she be if he's frequently leaving to go visit shu and sending her gifts and being sad thinking about her. And then mean as shit to Azela in return. He can only safely be in her life fr if he deals with the queen imo
Yk, if he couldn't protect her then, what gives him the confidence that he can now? That red head snake literally lives with him? She will be in more danger in the palace than in the grand Duke's house.
First get rid of your 'empress'. She's a f*cking murderer! And deal with your daughter...ykw? It seems too much work. You can't do it! It'll be unfair for the azela too... she's still your daughter. Unwanted or whatever doesn't change the truth.
Let shuelina stay with the duke. She's a lot better there than in the palace.
