Did u not read the same chapters as I did?
Ino was obviously placed on a curse, he tried to tell Alberto about it but because of the curse that the original cassius placed him on, his mouth was sealed
Meaning all those things your saying happened must have been Ino being compelled by the curse
Also where did u get these spoilers from?
I searched for them but I couldn't find any
Is this manhwa based on a novel or what?
No, I didn’t because those chapters didn’t exist when I wrote this. Also yeah, I know the book compelled him to not say anything but the issue was him staging the mc’s death and raping him. Is it because he was compelled by the curse? Idk, maybe, but I doubt it. Because the curse did not change ino as a person just restricted his speech.
Anyways here’s the link to the raws. Get back to me if what I said was untrue.

I don't know about the raping part cuz it wasn't mentioned when I read a Korean review of the story
But I do know that ino staged mc's death to save him
He found out about cassius and the rebels plans and they involved Alberto getting hurt or possibly getting killed and that's why he staged his death so the rebels would think he died and wouldn't come after him
And so until the chapters reach the part where the supposed rape happens and i see it with my own eyes with the english translatios, am gonna keep my stance neutral on it and not jump to conclusions cuz I think its mostly a misunderstanding and makes zero sense for it to happen, seeing how in love ino is with Alberto
Also chapter 26 in the raws u just sent shows ino and Alberto escaping together and living happily in the part that was also mentioned in the Korean review
Do whatever you want. As for me, the scene was so divorced from the original relationship dynamic mixed with how the mc clearly wasn’t comfortable with the sexual encounter (he cried and there was no passionate sex scene it was just sad before it cut to the next chapter) makes me think “well this sucks” no matter if it was all a misunderstanding. Because stories are entirely constructed by the author; every misunderstanding, every plot point. And I struggle to think of an explanation that justifies much of this, even if the ending is “happy”. Much of these stories have the problem of masquerading tragedies as happy endings and since I strongly doubt I’ll be satisfied with the conclusion—even if it was all a misunderstanding— I’ve dropped this.
At some point ino finds a book and starts a Revolution but doesn’t tell Alberto. Ends up staging Alberto’s death and traps him in a dungeon and rapes him. Alberto escapes, saves the kid king and their running away and the last chapter available shows Alberto cracking cause he found out he was played by both Cassius and Ino. I just wanted a cute romance about finding a partner that actually respects you, we lost the plot.
