My guess what might happen....(contains a little bit of spoilers for raw of chap. 59)

Without the translation I can't do much now. So these thoughts could be completely wrong...
I think NK is in for a rough time (this I am pretty sure of - I don't think he will escape unscathed). This writer pays off what they seeded throughout the story. I don't see this part just disappearing without anything happening to NK.
With SH sick and possibly thinking that NK ran off after his confession, two things may happen (from my POV): SH may be dejected giving the kidnappers more time with NK or his possessiveness might kick in in his refusal to lose the person he loves.
This might happen one after the other as well with SH being dejected and then refusing to let NK go and going after him. But this will cause a lag in time.
Jihwa or Min might be stupid enough to brag about it to another of the noblemen, who might feel to uncomfortable with the situation, and may tell SH.
Aside from this, without clues I am not sure how this can be figured out. I don't think No Name left clues behind, but NK is not wearing his scarf and you can't see if a shoe is missing based on the last picture (this is speculation only but if he moved fast because a physically outstanding lord was a few steps away this could have happen). He could have also removed the scarf later himself when he had capture NK but again we didn't get an image of the kidnapping.
I think Jihwa will lash out at NK but I think/hope when things are escalated he might wake up and realize what he is doing. But right now, Jihwa has a perfect victim in helpless NK to vent his instability on. I wish he would call it off but he hasn't really struggled with that decision, instead he tried to rush No Name into acting faster so that they could get it over with.
The problem here is how long SH would take to spring into action. I can definitely see this story going as far as having Min try to rape NK (hopefully not fully include a rape by Min, because please give my baby death instead). I honestly don't think it would matter except for our hearts which don't want to see NK harmed further.
SH is too caught up in unrequited love right now and that can cause a lag in what SH would have been more likely to do (mainly obsessively hunt NK down and drag him back to his home) but I do think that this would just be a lag because NK is in SH's blood now.
The official translation will probably give out more clues for where this is going. But it is best to assume that NK is going to get hurt so be prepared.
Could you ever so kindly I don't know how to say this ummm could you summarize it so I can read it(〜￣△￣)〜
NK is gonna get hurt badly because sengho might think he escaped after confessing so he won't act as fast to save NK which will give time for there to be more torture for NK.
I think NK will get hurt. I think Jihwa will hurt him but might snap out of it if someone goes too far. I think SH's reaction time will directly affect how much NK gets hurt. We might get to the point that Min will almost rape NK (Fingers crossed he doesn't). And I questioned if No name left behind signs of a struggle. Also, if nothing is left behind to give off clues of a kidnapping, is one of the other noblemen going to rat Jihwa out. Just trying to figure out how SH would know NK was kidnapped instead of thinking he ran away.
Well, unfortunately, SH is connected with tragedy. It follows him. So NK is an easy target for people too afraid of lashing out directly at SH. They know this would cause a mortal wound for SH and NK isn't even an afterthought for these aholes. He is disposable based on his status alone.
I thought the only thing that might change would have been SH's father being the one to swoop in first and seeing that he didn't, guess he would do so eventually. So whatever happens now, there will still be some hurdles to overcome.
SH's dad isn't approaching SH out of regret and seeing the hints of what he did to his own brilliant child (a perfect heir - except for the gay part, I guess), a servant/lowborn will be nothing for him. So I am afraid that even if they overcome this, we have SH's father and that asshat In-Hun to expect a poop storm from.
It isn't about NK's innocence but because the boy is so unguarded and because SH loves him that he has become a target. He is disposable. SH isn't.
God Dammit! This is the 6th spanking brand new to the world manga/mahwa I am reading and it is like the others - excellent!
It's torture, I tell you, to wait for these to pop up without raws to feed my habit. Damn! Damn! Damn!
Seriously, read this. It is awesome.
Suha better shank that SOB. I want him to do it.
And I am sorry but whatever backstory is going on with the grandmother, you never take it out of the kids especially when she has gone out of her way to make her grandson feel like he is less than everybody else. She deserves that red headed bastard.
Amen
I did not understand those last words from the emperor. Maybe I went cross eyed...someone help
Same here.
Some clarification based on the exact dialogue within the novel: the emperor is saying that he loved the MC, and that he was 'blinded' by the MC as well because the MC was so bright. The MC thought (and still thinks) the (past) emperor was so cruel to MC because he hated him/wanted to humiliate the 5 families through him. And the emperor says to MC in the vein of: 'it was always about you, not anyone else, how come someone as smart as you didn't know that?'
Hey, do u know where can i read the novel?? Thank you
Unfortunately you have to buy it and it's only in Korean.
Hm, I think the MC said something in this webtoon about his belief that *real* love and abuse definitely had to be mutually exclusive... which is why he thought his brother couldn't really love him if he was willing to use force on him, and probably why he was still looking for other "reasons" (other than "love") to explain why the past emperor was also hurting him.
Yeah, I agree. I think the brother's reincarnation shows how much the emperor has changed from past version to present. The present brother still held him down and raped him like he did in the past and even did it multiple times throughout the years instead of the one time in the past. So the brother didn't learn anything and actually became worse, whereas the emperor realized that was no way to show his love and fixed his behavior.
Thank you very much. That clarifies things.
So there a novel as well as a Mahwha available in Korean?
Glad that it makes more sense. The manwha is a bit confusing, I think. The novel is much, much better and is actually my favorite BL novel currently. Unfortunately it's only in Korean.
Thank you for letting me know. I had no idea there was a novel out there for this. I guess I'll just have to learn Korean. Too many good stories that don't get officially translated or where a novel exists and we never get to read it.
Of course :) I know, so many amazing stories out there that we'll never get to read because of the language barrier. This is in olde/high-level Korean so I struggled a bit but totally worth it.
I feel like I am being lulled into a false sense of security
I know, right? Seungho obviously rejected Jihwan's confession so I worry that is just going to spur him on more with the murder plot. I'm so worried for my baby Nakyum
Me too. I am not ready for the smackdown that's coming. Specially with Min's psycho a$% in the mix and his revenge plot on Seungho.
Geez...
I kept putting reading this off and when I finally did, I read it all in one day. So, so good.
Vibes of Dear Benjamin for some reason maybe it is the characters' demeanors: Creed is supremely confident and Yeo-Woon has that nonchalant ye ne sais quoi.
Chang wanted to be a hard man without attachments...and he succeeded...until he realized what it got him...a big nothing.
Love this so much. Re-reading asap.
This is better than I thought...(Spoilers of the next chapter...you have been warned)

So they were trying to cure the homosexuality out SH, therefore creating the unstable SH we love and hate.
It was clear his father had betrayed his son deeply and in an everlasting way but honestly I did not expect this twist. I haven't seen it before (might be out there in Manga but I haven't seen it til now).
One thing is clear in the new chapter, whatever this therapy consisted on, it went on for years. SH had been a young boy (maybe just a teenager) when he started that treatment with the doctor telling the story and it is clear as well that his father was hitting him prior his arrival at the doctor.
I had a feeling that whatever SH went through with his dad, it had to be one of those betrayals that would mark you and change you. SH has shown enough mental instability and bouts of blinding rage throughout the series to help me arrive at that conclusion, particularly because despite the nasty things he has done, he was always shaken after, like he had just woken up and was shocked at what he had done. The impulse took over his actual noble character.
Usually his kind of rage exists for a reason.
Wow! Jihwa is some special kind of dumb ass...that is all.
