Both the seme (Seram/Seth) and uke(Theo) are strong. They are leaders of their respective countries/sects. Strong characters written well and I really like the fact that the author did not make them a switch couple just because they are both strong (physically and politically). (I really don't understand the concept of sexual preferences having anything to do with physique, strength or personality.)

It's also admirable that they did not run away leaving their people to handle all the issues by themselves. They came back and fought with their respective armies. Seth went back to rebuild his destroyed nation and Theo went on to support his own country. They meet frequently and the relationship between the children seems to be good. (It might have been better for the children to stay together but it's understandable since even in real world good kings, queens and rulers do make such sacrifices.)

Since the plot is also good, I would have preferred if author expanded more on the politics in this. It's really rare to see good political plot in BL.
