im glad we're finally getting backstory, because the whole mystery surrounding what actually happened back then to cause all of what's happening in the current was dragging on like crazy. i think sasha was getting abused or something and that's why karel covered for sasha killing that person after he was going insane from that? we'll learn why sasha left as well and why he never sent letters (if im remembering correctly) i haven't read any spoilers or anything. just happy we're finally getting answers

im so glad that i wasn't the only one thinking that this series was going down hill, why in the world are we this far and yet nothing has happened? she's the goddamn empress? her husband is the emperor and y'all still really struggling with her father? i agree with the other commenters she needs to grow a backbone and stop being so useless. i really did like their romantic story in the beginning but now it's getting so old, the will they won't they is so bullshit. also i oddly feel like she doesn't care about her son as much as she should, definitely a more unique opinion, as the whole original premise of this goddamn story was her hiding her son in order for him to be safe and not be used, yet now she's here in constant danger with her father she cannot stop for the life of her. just kill the father and get this over with!

Exactly. They have great excuse that he tried to poison the empress. The guy threatened her child in front of witnesses. She is getting scared where as she can use that for treason as well since the child is now the crown prince. Les majeste allows for immediate execution and her grand dad has the fighting prowess to carry it out. This is getting stupid.

The son comment is so true. Every time the son puts himself in danger she freaks out for 1 panel before going back to normal. She feels like a distant mother. Also why tf is she letting her son hang around the dad who abused u and ur brother when you were young?? I'm so confused by the relationships in the story, some feel very wishy washy
the uke is so frigging cute omg
this was so good and silly
