that sort of thing is normal is this setting though. The fact that he has a kid from another woman wouldn’t be any reason for her to be upset, seeing as it’s normal. And since her kid is the heir, there’s no succession problems either. Also it’s not like shes in love with the emperor, they got married for political reasons. I’m pretty sure their son was even ‘conceived using magic’ so they never even had sex.
Even if all that is true he can’t expect her to take care of someone else’s daughter like its her own kid. And she seems to have a grudge against fl’s mom and maybe she did actually develop feelings for emperor despite the marriage being a political one. I think you shouldn’t assume stuff just because having multiple wives is “normal” in this setting. In my country its also still normal to have more than one wife but that doesn’t mean they’re gonna be happy about it, bc ik they all wanna be “special” or the davorite wife
This emperor pmo. like I get that the empress is evil but how can he expect to take care of his kid from ANOTHER WOMAN n be nice to heryou should’ve thought about that before u decided to have a kid with someone else
