Same thoughts. I'm also thinking that rather than adding cherry as an fl or extra/side character, it could also be that the author just decided to use the perspective of a random character to watch how the romance starts? Though i personally prefer no romance and have MC just appoint future heir from his siblings' children but then thought of how lonely MC would be again once his friends starts their own families while he has none.
Ngl but I was initially against Cherry as the Judas' partner when she first appeared. But the interaction between the two made me reconsider UNTIL Christina arrived. As soon as she arrived, sorry my vote went towards her. The charm, poise and confidence needed to become an Empress/Queen is with Christina, not Cherry.
