Pretty obvious in my opinion (love game theory (๑•ㅂ•)و✧)
That’s why the imperial family let the FL stay out of the war to “no eliminate the bloodline” if she dies. If the FL dies, no more divine beasts as the mother is too ill to have more children.
Then is the imperial family is in on it and evil too?
Probably, it would make sense - after all the funding for the temple’s research has to be coming from somewhere
Hmm that makes sense, but do you think the prince is in on it too? Given how her sister is in love with him in both time lines, was/is he deceiving her to use their bloodline or do you think he was unaware of what was going on and there love was mutual?
That's a really interesting take, since the prince hasn't really been fully shown, only his silhouette which can be interpreted as them just trying to enhance the mystery aspect of this character.. or! He has a bigger role aside from being the Original ML.
I don't think the prince knows. I think the war exception had two purposes; maintain the bloodline and ensure she doesn't marry the prince. I doubt they would suddenly stop stealing the children; but if they're part of the royal family that would be investigated with a lot more resources.
I agree! I feel like this would be something that the Royal fam would try to keep on the down low so they may only tell the prince after his coronation??? To keep the amount of people who know as small as possible
My theory is MC is actually the Medest's missing daughter, and that all the second/third children that randomly goes missing in their family are all the "divine beasts" trapped in the temple - bc the Medest's were originally beastmen and can transform.
Also with the missing duke who can transform into a tiger, there was a tiger in a cage in the temple, which could be him after he transformed.
It also makes sense that "divine beasts" are so hard to find because there's only a limited amount of children from the Medest family each generation.
