The good thing about Asha being oblivious is that it tempers Kiel's actions (as if it weren't extreme already, but yeah he most likely can do worse). If Asha wasn't oblivious and gave Kiel and big hard NO, then we can expect that blood will be shed and there will be wars and civil unrest (down the slippery slope, the empire would probably crumble lmao).
For now, Asha's obliviousness at least makes the emperor busy with trying to gain his favor and scheming to marry him.

OHMYGOD he's so dramatic and for what???? the 2nd embarrassment, he has an entirely different fan fiction up in his head that is way way WAY TOO FAR from reality. JIGU, GET UP, PLEASE don't fall any more into your delusions or even I won't know how tf are you going to get back on your feet after knowing the truth

Sooooo he's going back home knowing the likelihood that kim shin would be literally there. Yeah, this dude right there is definitely the first one to die type in a slasher-thriller film. By all means, babe, it's not like you're limping around and unable to run fast, right now, aye? Go get your ticket to free dental health check up, since you look like you want your other teeth to be pulled out.

Let's make this easy, Khalid, here are your options:
(a) Yes
(b) we know you like that fruity, majestic, fairy-esque beta, who are you kidding, bruh???
(c) why would you not protect cutie eepy wittle Trudy? You would turn a blind eye to child abuse?!?!?! Just pick yes
(d) Ludmilla is mothering so hard, have respect to our fairy mother and say yes!
(e) Oui oui baguette
(f) you think of choosing "no" but it magically turns to "yes"!!!
(g) All of the above

Like, seriously, every chapter that varabussy is finding new petty ways to uphold his title as the Supreme Bitch Overlord. Btch u think you're crafty, wait til I crack that head open.
I really hope Fate would do a switcheroo and it's him who's going to fall off the balcony and land with his mfing smug pathetic face on the ground. But he is not going to immediately die from it, he will pathetically drag his broken body and crawl desperately to look for safety and that's when he would inevitably die in the most anti-climactic way possible.

You have a point there actually, while there are logistics behind it (it's not like you just conjure potions out of thin air) but if it's a question of money, the young lord is not rich rich (not at the same level of city nobles) but he is capable. 5 men seems to be enough manpower either.
the only hindrance they could have is time (the potions might take too long to create) or maybe the ingredients might be too hard to find or obtain.
Ohhh dearie, there's only red flag in that castle, go back to your carriage and stay safe.
