Well, I'm on my freaking sit! A mysterious town with weird rules. The tension when "Boss" is here, like he is some sort of monsters to the townfolk. In another hand, we have a sweet teacher who seems to have a trauma that made him having killer instinct ? Who is the real monster here ? What with this weird town where peoples NEED to be needed if not ..? And with this setting, we could ask: Who is alive and who is dead ? :O

Not me just realizing that MC's "mother" was a man. It's not until the grandfather called him his son that I saw the flat chest. Was I the only one ? :O

No, I only just caught up with that fact too. I'm assuming you're also used to how usually the bad moms in these type of historical shoujo/bl fantasies are female with a perma-frown.
He falls into that type of snake in the skin of a mother figure cliche, but with a twist that he's actually a male omega which makes his character design unique in a way.

Yeah i thought that manhwa team changed his gender since the fairy king in novel also became fairy queen in manhwa. After reread, i realized he actually still male omega yay (idk about the fairy queen tho). His outfit with big puffy sleeves and lace, including his long hair really designed very well, since in novel he hold the title as the most beautiful omega in country.

at first, I wasn't sure what gender the Empress was, but his gender makes sense for his hatred towards MC.
the Empress is a male omega.
the marquis (Empress's father) & MC's physician is a male beta.
in this world alphas & omegas are looked up to while beta are discriminated against especially in this kingdom (people use the fact that the laws don't let betas ascend to the throne to justify this).
these facts create the motivations for both the marquis and the Empress to act the way they do (also the reason they treat the MC the way they do).
I can give more details about this if people don't mind/ do want spoilers, just let me know

so beta marquis was finally a commoner who got his title by saving a lot of people with his medical skills (either during an epidemic or war, I don't remember) he over the years became the previous emperor's imperial physician and saved either the previous empress or consort the previous Emperor deeply loved...previous Emperor asked what marquis wanted as a reward. He requested his son (dominate omega) to marry the then crown prince----resulting in the current situation.
marquis wanted to put his bloodline on the throne as a f*ck up to the society that had looked down on him for being a beta.
In this world for an alpha or omega to be born, the birth parent must be an omega. beta females can't give birth to an alpha or omega. due to this many find it stupid for an omega especially a dominant omega to marry a beta. (this is why beta MC isn't engaged).
male omegas due to body structure tend to only give birth to 1 child. after the Empress gave birth to beta MC, he became infertile. Empress blames MC for being born a beta...
after MC's birth Marquis is pissed since his plan is messed up + society gossips about Empress as a 1/2 Empress who gave birth to a beta.
many years ago the marquis looked into poor, dominant omega commoners in his territory who had sick family members. He gave 3 of these omegas a deal to have his kids in exchange for healing their family members and a stable life. He ended up marrying the mother of the Empress since he was the only dominant omega among his children. Marquis registers the alpha kids, but hides the beta kids in this territory.
the Empress was treated special compared to his siblings...that why he can't stand anyone better than him/ having better stuff. the marquis also made sure the empress knew he could not look down on him for being a beta (most likely through violence/emotion abuse).
do to all of this, Empress is extra angry at MC since he went from Marquis's fav child to being called "useless".
All in All, the Marquis is mega TRASH!

Interesting story so far. I fear that poor Luce will have some hardship between his family, ML & multiple conspiracy against the throne, right ?
I also really like the title "Lunacy" as it come from "Luna" in latin meaning "Moon". Way better than the basic "Moonlight" in this page. And it set to mood straight. No fluffy Rom-com here. :P

I've seen thing more wild IRL. A married couple discovered after hand that their parent remarried with each others without telling them. So now, they are married to their step-siblings on paper.
Anyway, it's fiction and I don't think that the step-siblings situation here is used in some kinky way or romanticized.
Well, now we know where his superior genes come from. Blue-eyes & Pointy ears. Are they "Fairies" from a foreign country? :3
