I like all what your wrote:)) but one thing’s wrong about Claude and Anastacius.
I guess this is a spoiler?? Not sure, but I’m this just in case lol
Him and his brother had a very good relationship. It was already shown(Idk which chapter it was tho lol) Claude was being abused by his mother, and Anastacius even wanted to help Claude from the treatment. It’s just, black magic got into Anastacius which produced him to turn evil. I forgot what chapter it was, but it was a whole chapter of baby Claude and young big brother. And in one panel of the chapter, Claude saw his brother somewhere in the garden staring at something from afar. Someone was summoning Anastacius to the black magic. He was drawn to it, until Claude called out to him. The brothers really had a good relationship. It just got ruined bc of the black magic that entered Anastacius’s soul.
So I re-read SBAPOD and would like to share some information about Claude so far...(i might be wrong in some of these, criticism is welcomed)
CLAUDE'S CHILDHOOD
So Hotdaddy (Claude) is the son of the king and isn't the son of the empress and the 2nd prince of the Obelian(im a right?) Empire, since he isn't in the direct line in the throne he doesn't have a name of a "king". He looked up to his brother Dark Claude(cause his name is to freaking long), he was abused by the empress since she wasn't his son (might be wrong)... much later on Dark Claude might be jealous of Hotdaddy cause Hotdaddy has/had stronger magic or mana than him so maybe that's why his attitude changed towards Hotdaddy...
THE THOT IS HERE
Later on Hotdaddy had his Fiancee Penelope (Jean's Mother), Hotdaddy might have fallen inlove with Penelope but this bich wanted more and seduced Dark Claude and Dark Claude agreed to be seduced by this bich cause he hated Hotdaddy. And one time while Dark Claude and Bichmomma was done having dodo6ex Hotdaddy saw this and he became mad that didn't care about blood ties anymore...
KING DARK CLAUDE
When Dark Claude become King he killed Claude's Mother and was going to kill Hotdaddy too but Hotdaddy killed him first(kinda) and he became king, BichNolepe escaped with a child that Dark claude experimented on her.
JEANS IS HERE
This child that Dark Claude "created" was made out of dark magic and was to be much powerful than hotdaddy but Penelope saw this as something to rise her up, but this bichnelope died giving birth to Jeans and Jeans was brought to the Alpheus(is that correct?) Estate. And since nobody exept knew Expect that Penelope and Dark claude that she was their daughter, White doggy thought that Jeans was Claude's daughter cause of her eyes..
WAR?
(I think there was also somekind of war between dark magic but there was not much details about it)...
EMPEROR CLAUDE
After Claude's rein he became surrounded(i think) with women and lived a lustful life(?) Until somekind of festival or banquet was held in the palace and he became attracted to a Dancer which is athy's mommy :3... Claude tried to push Diana(the dancers name) away but she has a "cheeky side" so she stayed with claude and got pregnant and got athy... but she died while giving birth and claude massacred the rudy palace where Diana gave birth(?) He was about to kill athy who was being held by Lily (yah she was held by lily in the novel but she was on the floor in the manghwa) but Hotdaddy found Athy's name "interesting"and he goes away and you know whta happened next...
Poor claude was hurt 3 times by his brother, his fiancee and the death of his lover :((...
