I'm confused too
I’m pretty sure the first woman is a concubine, like how Rashta was, and the other woman is his actual mother. This could explain why he helped cause Rashtas downfall, because he witnessed a concubine come in and take his mother’s spot.
Ohhh okay that makes sense, that’s a good son
But they look só similar... twins?
Fr I was thinking it was his aunt
Well actually she kind of posted his mother out and becomes her…. Alyssa apparently looks very similar to elgy’s mother. After the little soveihsit accuses Alyssa of conspiring against him and Sophie, she is kicked out of the place and her own family … she ends up in elgy’s kingdom. Elgy’s actual mother has always been frail in health and could not keep her role as a woman go the royal family who have many obligations in high society and such so they ask Alyssa to basically play her stunt double but when elgy was a kid she deliberately traps elgy and set the place on fire. She makes a show of saving him and in process getting a scar on her face … so everyone thinks his mother saved him. So now the one with the scar becaoen the actual wife and his real mother becomes fake pushed to a corner in the estate out of everyone’s sight… she is quite literally imprisoned in her own home and her identity stolen by a bithc who ends up becoming the duchess
That’s why elgy can’t stand woman like her and always destroys their life… in eastern empire’s case he has a very personal grudge against soveishit because he caused his own mother to live in shadows forever and not even treated as a member of the family because of him… that is also the reason why he feels bad for causing pain to Navier while pushing rashta and soveishit to hell
I’m so confused, he has two mothers?
