The royal family killing his lover/wife so the princess could play house? shit, imagine your SO getting killed, just as you started a family with them, because a royal dipshit wants you all to themselves. Then having them take on the role of your child's parent. Cynical bitch holy shit. I mean, the FL dad's abusing an innocent child that didn't ask to be born is horrible and fuck him...but I can understand why he wants to get rid of the bloodline all together.
Sorry but I don't think that's what happened his wife was killed together with her family after a undisclosed scandal/crime occurred
He them seduced the princess to marry her and kill the late emperor and the princess and place his son as a heir to the empire
Apparently she was genuinely in love with him and treated his son as her own
I don't believe the royal family was innocent, they hold so much power over people it's laughable. Just seeing how the emperor referred to the son says a lot about their relationship.
It doesn't matter how much the princess loved the guy, her family killed his lover. Do you think the royal family trusted an outsider so much that they let him marry into them after getting his SO killed? Maybe she didn't know why she died and truly wanted to help him but her father did know and let him in. Why would he put her daughter in danger by allowing her to marry a dude that'll probably try to murder her in her sleep.
Again, the only that's truly innocent is the FL, fuck the rest of them.
He just called you a replacement like a day ago? What the the hell
The fact that he wanted to apologize to him after being called a whore...holy shit, what a doormat. Have some self respect and throw his ass
Spoilerrrrs
It's the usual "all could have been avoided if they had
actual COMMUNICATION" plot.
The "mistress" is his half sister (we SURE didn't see that one coming), the other bitch is just trying to get into the ML's pants. Yes, he is sadly the ML.
He actually loved the princess dearly and he did everything the emperor told him to proved himself worthy of her. He has a trauma of being inferior and thinks the princess hates him (his mother died being a mistress or something like that) and that she's ashamed of his inferior blood tainting the royal family. He's one toxic mf and even starts the rumors that she is ugly and that's the reason she doesn't go out.
The royal family adored her and truly wanted the best for her, her brother (I think he's actually her cousin?) knew she was being isolated by this toxic mf and tried to get her back.
What. The. Fuck. Reading these 4 and a half chapters was heartbreaking and knowing they'll end up together, because iT WaS JUsT MisUNdeRStaNdiNG makes it... just... just no. I'm done. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I always say that it doesn't matter how much someone likes you when they never tell you or behave like it...
I know. Makes no sense why the dude ignores and mentally abuses her when she told him she loved her. But I guess he's just toxic so I think logic doesn't apply here.
