I know the emperor was also a victim of the empress since he got forced into an unwanted marriage and got taken advantage of while drugged just to get an unwanted child, but that unwanted child did nothing wrong and was innocent. The mc didn't deserve to be neglected and treated like that by him on top of already being abused by his piece of shit of a "mother". I don't know whether he knows what the empress is doing to mc or not but even if he did, he prolly wouldn't care I reckon.
I can understand how desperate he is to take down the empress after all that but he's just taking advantage of another person (ml) the same way empress did to him now.
Of course I hate the empress more, but I hate the emperor as well. He's just a selfish person who only cares about WHAT HE WANTS. He doesn't care for the ml either but only cares for the power he has that can bring down the empress.
GAHH!! I hate both of them so much! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
Dunno if the mangaka did this on purpose but the panel where Tsubaki (Kaede's twin) kept blushing and looking at Kazu and whispered to Kaede about wanting to be friend with him was so cute. Now I'm stuck shipping them when they don't even appear that much ( ̄∇ ̄"). Whether it was a platonic interest of wanting to be friends or not it was just cute lol. I actually wanted to see the twin more...(/TДT)/
He already met his fated person so back off man. And I see u new intern...
Imma keep an eye on u-
