First of all, they were abused for 5 years while they were absolutely helpless and had not even one single person to rely on except for their twin. That's going to fuck up any adult mind, so we should be grateful that they are still so well. They were abandoned by their paternal family, abused by their mother and caretakers, so who the fuck would trust those people. Although we know that there is a background story to explain it. The kids dont know and their mother always told them that they were not "pureblooded" and therefore dispised by the royals. And it's not like they hate their brothers but who are you kidding? They all said into their faces that they didn't give a f*ck about them while they got abused and lived in their personal hell, until they got into the palace. They heard their own father call them a burden and that he wished they were not born. I wouldn't trust those guys as far as I could throw them if it weren't for the background info. So yes their old place was awful but the only thing that really changed in the palace, is that they got some attention from their paternal family -which is unwanted and that they finally got some food and education etc.

Sorry for the rant, but I have read this kind of comment so often and it really annoys me. Abuse is going to fuck up your life -see domestic violence etc.- if not even real adults can overcome some of those traumas, how could some toddlers with the mind of an teen do it? And without help. It's like after their old wounds healed, everybody forgot what they have gone through and pretend that nothing really happend. I honestly dislike that family at the moment more than caitel and cloude -and those two are high-end a**holes.

I think another thing people are overlooking is that they have only been in that world for five years. During that time they were completely sheltered, had NO contact with the outside world, and had a tremendous lack of education (this includes learning to read a new language). They were born into a political setting, and in a world that included supernatural beings and people.
Mix that in with the fact that they were still kids in their past lives and remember some things from their DEATHS, and then going through all that with their new "mother", I think it makes complete sense for them to act the way they are, they are still growing and are trying to learn everything they can, AND face PTSD, trauma, ect alone.
I'm LOVING the story I think it's perfectly paced. If it was any quicker everyone would be complaining that it was "rushed"and "sloppy" . And for f***s sake we are only 30 some chapters in.(  ̄□ ̄||)
My only problem is that the twins are actually mentally adults and keep making assumptions in the way that children would so idk. Like yes there’s a whole tone of miscommunication and awful stuff on the emperor’s side but their brothers have been super kind. They keep saying they want to escape but that place was awful.
