HE CHOSE TO DIE QUICKLY, INSTEAD, WHATDAAHEKK!!
Although it might be his frustration of not seeing yooyoung anymore that led him do that, but PLEASSEEEE I DONT WANT TO LET HIM DIE THAT INSTANT YET. EMPEROR IS CHEATINNN HE CHOOSE TO DIE SO THAT HE WOULDNT FEEL THE TORTURE OF LOSING SOMEONE RAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Somewhere in my mind, It would be good if yooyoung is already dead, cuz i have thus feeling the emperor will keep on searching the lands as long as he is alive. I still cant believe how the emperor is still thinking of yooyoung as a toy. And that sister and her father deserve to be tortured, just the sight of them make my blood boil RAAHHHH
the general is the only one who has a brain in this story,
