I hope that I'm not a hater with this...but, am I the only one who couldn't care less for the second couple? I was so excited for the sides and when I saw it wasn't about the main couple I didn't even bother to read them (μ_μ) I wish instead of that they would've give us more lovey dovey content of Juhyeok and Shihyun (; ⌣_⌣)

is this a sequel? do I need to read "King's Maker" first? :0

Not exactly but the King's Maker one is the main story for the main couple, this person will miss out on alot if they dont read the King's Maker first. Triple crown is basically another seperate story and what happend after the old king is gone.
You can definitely read this one instead of King's Maker but you'll miss alot and might get confused on what they are talking about if they suddenly talk about the past

I also expected that they had that kind of relationship in the past but I didn't know it would be that bad, I want to be optimistic but his mind control powers scares the shit out of me, no doubt why taegun reacts the way he does; a pedophile with the ability to make you hallucinate without leaving any trace? worst combination ever
liking it so far! I like the trop of someone super powerful pretending not to be, sadly, I haaaate the typical strong top who fucks with everyone and doesn't care for others (¯ □ ¯ 」)
