One thing that makes Hayden's character so appealing to read is his ability of communicating. He always makes sure that he has properly presented his feelings, his intentions and his desires to Brett in order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings. He made it clear that what he wants from Brett is an actual relationship not just some random sex. He then also makes all necessary efforts to pursue Brett properly. Quite a rare quality among the usual bl semes tbh.

Poor kid! He deserved so much better. Imagine being born with such a huge responsibility on your shoulders and still handling it with pride, sacrificing your whole childhood and your very core value (freedom in sulkin's case) to fulfill your duty just to be abandoned and sidelined so ruthlessly by your own father's stupid actions. The kid worked so hard his whole life but then he was just suddenly left with nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING The very people who used to follow him all he time just left him without hesitation as soon as they found a new replacement for him. All his sacrifices went down the drain. He lost everything in mere moments. Also his mother! The poor women got cheated on my her own husband but still decided to stay strong just for her children's sake just to see her own child being slowly succumbing to death due to their own father. She was so desperate (rightfully) to protect her own crumbling family she had no choice but to curse someone's unborn child. Atlast she couldn't help but let her guilt and despair consume her The king's wife and kids deserved so much better than this.

"Loving is the only freedom he has" You mean cheating on his wife and having an affair outside his marriage is the only thing he CHOOSE to see as freedom #-.-)

But it literally isn’t cheating ╥﹏╥. The bird people are a free country where everyone can love everyone, just like the titans who have no issues with public sex. His only freedom by right was to have as many lovers as he wanted. I’m not really sure why the concubine’s child was given the position unless she became a second wife?. The bird people have weird laws

Is the king stupid? I couldn't help but be pissed off at him. I won't talk about him and tilha since his wife and children don't mind that but having a child with her? Seriously? Bfr He's the king! He's supposed to be the leader of all the birdpeople. He should know better than this. He SHOULD know that his actions gonna have huge consequences Especially something like having a new child! Did he really NOT EVEN ONCE gave it a thought that he already has a successor for years and that having a new child is gonna end up in chaos. If he loved tilha so much he should have made her his concubine and lived with her lovingly without a child. His stupidity caused him his family, his wife, his lover, his fifth son, his unborn amd even his own will to live! If he can't keep his emotions aside and take strong and wise decision as the king then I don't think he deserves to be one. Good for the birdpeople getting a new king then
Tbh I wanted a side story for the sunbae's ex (the red haired guy). I actually wanted to see more of his pov and see him find new love too. Maybe so he can learn and move on from his past mistakes and change for the better.
