she gets two daddies and both their last names.
the bio family loved her in both timelines but as we saw at the beginning, mc’ power were weak/drained, meaning azula got stronger and she used that power to break the dad and brothers minds to fully convince them they loved her.
let’s start from the beginning, why did the emperor marry the red headed woman if he loved mc’ mother?
he did say he was going to marry her but the nobles were against it so the read headed woman suggested he make her the empress and have the other one as a concubine (political marriage)
everything went well until mc’ mother heard from others that the man she loved and her best friend was sleeping together while she was pregnant.
what actually happened was that the emperor got drugged and woke up being accused of r-wording the red headed even though he don’t remember ever sleeping with her.
so obviously he felt very betrayed by his so called friend and can’t love azula(the child), knowing what happened.
that’s why he’s suspicious about her birth and origin.
lucas(the brother) also don’t like her bc she is two-faced and paint him as the bad brother who makes his angelic sister cry just bc he doesn’t want to do whatever she want.
the reason the emperor can’t kick out the empress is bc her family is too strong and they have backup from other nobles and they also don’t have evidence enough to prove anything.
don’t remember when but at one point mc starts to commute between her two families and i think she calls the duke her dad and the emperor, father.
azula gets impatient and tries to trick mc to touch the brilliant(the sucking jewel) but it doesn’t work so instead she dumps oil on her and sets the room on fire.
luckily she gets saved by ML(white haired dragon boy)
and the emperor accuses the empress for deceiving him and that azula is not his daughter.
the empress then says that she had her newborn child switched and puts the blame entirely on her own daughter.
so azula gets put in prison and there she finds out the truth about her birth.
