I hope the aide never gets to see his family ever again and doesn't get a happy ending. She has rejected him more than enough times and his insistence on pursuing her is creepy. Now he has kidnapped her? What does he think is going to happen? Does he think she is going to thank him for knowing her lover is going to be poisoned and letting it happen??? Or for "helping" her when she didn't ask him to? He thinks of himself as the good guy & the emporer as bad, but the emporer isn't the one taking away her agency.
