waaaitt is the 2nd point happened?? i’m still on chapter 8 on the novel though, 3 more to go before it ended but there’s a line where Ail said
“ "I will bring in a consort, as the Empire needs an empress. I have a promise to keep with Salina as well. But I have no need for concubines. And Ruth will not become part of the imperial harem. He belongs in the Northern Palace, and he is the only one I will consider as my partner. No one else will enter my chambers in the future." ”
did he sleep around during the time Ruth successfully escaped??

Nor did i state that he sleeps around after raping (NOT sleeping. It wasn't consensual) with ml. I expressed my frustration and what would realistically happen with a horrible individual like him. Never did i state this specific thing(to keep sleeping around) is canon. Except for the 3) part is is literally what i currently happening in the story. Please next time fully comprehend what i'm writing.
1) He brutally rapes mc, gets off his desperation and pain
2) He sleeps around and considering the time, he'd realistically give mc some sort of sexually transmitted disease.
3) He demands mc remains celibate, while he can sleep around all he wants
4)He doesn't give a single fuck about mc's feelings. He doesn't mind brutalising him in every way possible.
5) Theres zero redemption, only ml feeling bad for a bit since his little toy escaped.
The most likely unwritten outcome, after their supposed 'happy ending', is this shallow, cheap motherfucker getting bored, sleeping around again and giving his victim the sexually transmitted disease he didn't get to give him in the main story. I don't believe even for a second that their relationship became equal after they both confessed. The sad truth is that mc will never be able to have any bodily autonomy. Nor say over anything at all. That would be only realistic, considering ml is a pos with antisocial personality tendencies, that gets off hurting mc.
I fucking love mc, he deserves much better. This story would be 10/10 as psychological horror with mc truly escaping from this creep.
