At first Kay still didn't want to be an empress, he thinks he will only be concubine. Then Kay said empress can only be a noble. Ok, on early chapter, zigril asked kay why he wasn't surprised to see Schuman magic, turned out Kay was a 2nd son of the Duke from enemy's country, that been defeated by the empire. He should be beheaded by 10 years ago, Kay (original name Oz), ranaway to his current village and became a commoner name Kay.
