sadly not a GL so i'm hoping for reirin and the eagle captain. i feel like the prince just doesn't deserve her? and low-key doesn't really appreciate her as she is. also the brother hinted to keigetsu that reirin is not allowed to become empress - makes sense, her aunt is empress, 1st cousins isn't the greatest genetically and doesn't seem to go well with the world building of the elements - basically too much of something isn't good. i also find the keigetsu and prince story far better? bc of how in love he is with reirin, i feel like it could be good for him to start to falling in love with 'reirin' when its keigetsu and they are swapped esp since she likes him already. i'm also unsure of reirin's feelings for the prince, i think she likes him but i think she also favors her independence more? while she honors her duties to an extreme i def think that a storyline could be that the prince chooses keigetsu and she becomes the lowest consort and can leave? or be with the eagle captain i remember something along those lines... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
