Alr I understand that they have to kill all the illegitimate children of the former emperor, so that they won’t raise in power and have a chance to steal back the throne, but if we think about it from the children that want nothing to do with the throne, their life is indeed pitiful. I don’t know how the male lead will manage to survive or prove his loyalty to the empire and the new “King” because he is of royal blood he’ll always be suspected. I’m so confused on how he’ll be able to live a happy life. It was good that MC made him her fiancé and saved his life but he should’ve gone to the country side or dye his hair, wear a wig, I’m so confused as to why he didn’t run away from home. Welp everything is good now but it’ll be a major problem in the future because many side with the new queen she might not be as kind to people as we think.
