Maybe it's just the first few chapters an dhow it's so confusing, but idk why I find the urge to drop it. It's just so weird that the ml would cannibalize her just to"monopolize" the power? does that mean he'd be invicible after eating her? But by having her alive, he'd still be able to get purified, and we know he's OP af without her, so he'd be able to monopolize her forcefully with or without cannibalism. So it's just weird to me...
I think it wasn't exactly so that nobody else can have her, but just like this strong desire after her blood. I mean it happened twice already with the blood and if you look at that reaction... I guess he'd be able to just.. eat her when he smells her blood.
I mentioned blood so often.. geez. But the monopolizing thing probably plays a role too? Idk, that's just how I see that.
He is soooo sus. Tbh lemme tell u my theory of why he is the killer. Tbh the whole premise of this manhwa is to find the killer (on top of marriage), but up till now, there is no other characters that is introduced other than the slave, ml, mc, and mc's brother, the rest are minor characters that barely met her before and only heard rumors. The princess and the prince also doesn't seem like the killer because of the jovial atmosphere in the banquet scene. This leaves the brother which i thought was the killer at first, but no, he is just a sis con. That leaves the damn slave. As we know he sus af and he is kinda "protecting" or i guess stalking her (i.e. the scene where he was perched outside the tree). Furthermore, there is a scene where she is thinking of the killer womdering who it is, and the next thing she thinks of is the slave, wondering where he is. In my opinion, most ficitonal works, if it follows this sequence, then the slave may be the killer. Welp but tbh it's already chapter 31, and no plans of capturing or investigating the mastermind, i'm just interested in their rs and how ml will react when he finds out mc's limited time.
What? No love? Excuse me, our emperor is the greatest simp that we all love.
