Anyone whose read the novel mind explain to me?
The king still got the queen. Then Estella is his child and is the youngest among them. So he also had a relationship with her mother before she died. Then here it is, does the emperor actually cheating with the queen then?
Ahm this is my own standing about royalties
If im wrong feel free to correct me (•‿•)
When it's emperor the main wife should be empress so the queen is only second wife
King's partner is queen then the other wives are called concubines
It is similar to an emperor he can also have concubines but the children are illegitimate
Only the children of the main wife is the legitimate
So I'm guessing Estrella is an illegitimate child
In royalties there are no so called cheatings since the emperor or king are allowed to have concubines as many as they want
For those said that this is all Ripley fault, i dont think so, she never asked the duke to be Etoile fake bf. At first she told the duke why the reason she need Sir Wright to act as the fake bf, but the duke disagree and suggest such an extremes ways to deal with that stalker, thus why Ripley said that how good is it if Sir wright was there, knowing that he is sweet person and can easily agree with the plan, the upon hearing this, the duke out of no where getting irritated (jealous maybe) and insist he be the fake bf. So its not ripley who suggested the duke to be the fake bf. (And remember why she want Sir Wright to be the fake bf because she knew that they both kinda has feeling for each other)
But didn’t the duke ask if he should take sir wright place and then she answered yes? Or was it that he said “is that the type of guy you like” and she said yes or something like that. It was kind of stupid of her to say that, anyone would be kinda mad or sad at leats.
