I think he did love Yona. A lot of children are conceived outside of love but their parents still love them.
Well, from sometime before it, I was already doubting it. It looks more like a obsession for the crimson dragon than love. He married her mother for the sole purpose of having the reincarnation of the crimson dragon and constantly called her so behind her back.
yess ^^ probably the reason why yona was so sheltered as a kid too. he couldn't let the incarnation of the crimson dragon out of the palace
both dads are scums periodt. but what hurt me the most is yona's dad. i started to question his affection for yona in the first place. the man married a woman who could see the future for gods sake. not for love. was any of it ever for love?
