I like this a lot more than I expected. The artstyle reminds me of "Your Throne", even the MC looks like Medea. Their demeanor is also similar tho I would argue that Medea is more heartless and manipulative than this MC. She seems kind and very genuine all around. Her not liking the First Prince makes sense somewhat but after getting his perspective, it feels a bit mean and rude. I feel for him, he is so adorable in his antics to be her friend and practising to greet her by drawing them interacting thereby manifesting it. His relationship with his nanny warms my heart. Oh! Him and his aide makes a cute dynamic too, I just know that his aide is so protective of him and devoted too. His love for MC is so pure and sweet, just pure goodwill from him unlike a certain blondie
It feels a bit suffocating watching the interaction between the MC and her aide, with him harbouring such obvious feelings for her and her being blind to it but he seems to be certainly the one she cares about most.
The tan prince and that tsundere prince's dynamic is a favourite of mine. The former constantly teasing him and egging him on and the latter responding like how he expects. It's all nice to see. The story setting is not that interesting to me tho I was intrigued initially, it failed to hold my interest. The MC and the priestess is also an odd mix but one I welcome. Her looking out for her and rambling in her presence was so adorable and the MC actually feels like a guy albeit a smooth one from the way she talks, the way she acts, the way she just is from her body language to her expressions.
The blondie prince is a yandere through and through, there's no doubt about that. He is obsessed with the MC and is happy and content with even the slightest compliment or touch from her. He is prone to jealousy too with the priestess to the aide. Tho in his defense, those are a bit too extreme with the MC gifting her the present he gave to her that holds much value emotionally as well as in capital terms. The aide I wish could control his emotions more, every emotion he feels is plastered on his face and worse he acts on it. So..
Wait..the story about the Emperor and Empress was so heartwarming. Her being the bolder one with her initiating the kiss, the marriage and so on. She is a Spitfire through and through, the Emperor fell for her at first sight. I don't blame her..she is such a girl crush. Him getting angry at his aide and showing hostility when he told or advised him to stop meeting her telling him that he will let it go now but that there won't be a second time. Him actually killing the person who was responsible for making the drink containing poison that killed her on the spot ruthlessly was so satisfying yet heartbreaking. Him saying that he was not confident in protecting a world that didn't have her in it was..ugh gut wrenching. Him not crying because she told him not to cry..at first when it was mentioned that he did not shed a single tear in her death..I felt slighted and tho it was said that he loved her exceptionally, I doubted his love but I have since then been enlightened. So the Emperor × Empress ship all the way. The prince being curious about his mom and resorting to going to the library and scrounging through the heaps of books there for a description, a sentence or even a word about her after being denied left and right when he asked the palace people was so hard to watch. But the added info of the Emperor using his power to make the moonlight bright so his child can look through the mountain of books is so..I don't know sweet?
