The webtoon didn't do a good job explaining the scene with the Emperor and Dian's uncle...
The uncle went to visit the Emperor because of the resentment he had about his sister's treatment.
The current Emperor is even more lacking in emotions than other people in his family (even though they are known for being lacking themselves, he's even worse), and he never really felt anything at all... Until he met Dian's mother, she was from one of the 7 Ducal families, and he was truly fascinated with her and she truly loved him. But the previous Emperor used his power to destroy the family (the same statute power mentioned in that chapter, so it's not something easily undone), which is why the uncle hated the Emperor and nobility and all that. Since the family was banished,the Emperor wasn't able to meet Dian and his mom anymore. Eventually they were all poor and the mom died, Dian grew up in the slums too.
For his love of Dian's mother, the Emperor is willing to help Dian have a chance to claim nobility and fight for the position with Sienna, but since he isn't his mother, the Emperor doesn't care about the consequences of his half hearted action.
Like the uncle said, it would be better to revoke the previous Emperor's statute and reinstate the family, but it might be more troublesome (for the Emperor himself, not his children) than what the Emperor is willing to do. He has no feelings of affection towards his children, so he doesn't care about the fight for the throne.
Wow O.O thx!
Thank u
I read the novel, but I don't remember explaining how he got there. I gotta read this part again.
omg where’d u read the novel!??!? this is so good i might just read it
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-great-wish/ although the currently translated stuff is just BARELY ahead of the webtoon. I still read it though, since it does a far better job at telling the story and the translator is really good...
Omg thanks. Do you remember what chapter of the novel is the last updated chapter of the webtoon?
The novel translator breaks up the chapters into parts, since each chapter is quite long. Chapter 12 part 5 has what we just saw on chapter 52 in the webtoon.
That it doesn't come cliche and she starts avoiding him cuz of the dream. I don't think it will happen since Sienna is very smart and thinks things through, but it makes me uneasy. ╥﹏╥
And btw, why is Dian's uncle there? Wasn't he being hidden and protected by Khun's ppl?
