I mean. Cant the emperor support the omega and then the omega marry the Duke? And then reveal that he is a omega? That way, everybody wouldve be happy and take down the empress
I think right now this is impossible because all the imperialists know that Etienne is with the Empress faction. Their marriage right now will be opposed, they won't have supporters on both sides, and the emperor may face a coup from his own supporters if he willy-nilly decides on it without showing that Etienne can be trusted. It'll be bad for the empire as a whole
What? Why did the kid been poisoned when little? And then, cursed? What really is the system? Why the system feels like another person mana? Why the Mother of ilya was murderer when he was a kid? Why the gossips about how the marquiss suddendly die after they adopted the ilyas Mother? Why the fortune teller eat the gem? How come he knew about the system? And the system doesn matter anymore? JUST WHYYYY
Eat it, drink it... you name it!
