she's his mistress, they aren't married. He could just cast her aside & denounce their son as being "someone else's" if he felt like it. & we knew he was a bad person because in the first timeline he ordered her limbs to be cut off along with her tongue. All 3 of em should get the most violent deaths possible (i vote death by 10,000 needles, inserted to the point you can't see more than a shiny dot in the person's skin)!! but the "kind-hearted" ML probably won't let that happen (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

she can make that claim, but he's the one with power/authority since he's the king. He seems to have a cruel side to people that displease him so as soon as she (the mistress) loses his favor he'll discard the both of em like it's nothing. If he even had a passing thought to "eliminate an annoyance" he could ultimately just make a secret order to have them assassinated. He seriously has no parental feelings towards his children. But, I just don't think he'd go that far YET. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Illegitimate children are looked down on in general so nobody would even try to object or stop it from happening. The only reason those a$$holes live so well is because the mistress holds the king's favor. Remember, she herself is only a lowly ranked noble who got married to a higher ranked noble (her actual husband who I think they said died earlier??) and that higher ranked noble made a deal with the king so his wife (lowly noble->the shitty mother) would become the king's mistress or at the very least that's how she had her 1st night with the king. Basically she gets to act all haughty and openly b*tchy because she seduced the king with her pretty face & he's still under her spell (he himself is a dirtbag though too). (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 People suck.
They’re such a cute couple (≧∀≦)
Also — Fuck the Mother I hope the Emperor divorces her then beheads her and the brother gets his rights to the throne taken away. I just know the brother is a bad person if he looks like that wench (/TДT)/
