Honestly, I get it. Had the roles been switched, Enoch would’ve done the same as well, let’s be fr. It’s not as easy as ‘oh but she definitely could’ve done something’. The point is that no she can’t, not even Enoch could’ve done anything that’s why he went exile and hid for 7 years and the only reason he didn’t face punishment was by the emperors grace and favouritism. Had it been anyone else, their bloodline would have been wiped or forced into some sort of servitude since the emperor can mind control.
Not to mention, the marriage and child was forced upon them. So while it’s sad that she picks and chooses, it makes sense she’d pick her son over the MC who she only had out of obligation. Like this is emphasised many times in the beginning. I don’t get why you would expect them to suddenly be a happy family.
