@412001 Villain's Mother makes a complete fool out of the mother. She's being manipulated by the kid and the father. Though she has some emotional sway over them, they just trick her too easily. I haven't read the novel, so I dunno how long this'll last, but it's already gotten boring for me.
@Foreverkidd We suspect the 'reason' that Lawrence can't outright become the Crown Prince is because he is an illegitimate child, and the reason Cedric despises Miraila is because she and the Emperor are quite blatantly unrepentant about their relationship.
...Yeh, I did a doublegoogleplex take when I was translating Cedric's little spiel. 😶 I dunno what else to say besides that it's just a badly written passage. 😭
@hotdogforlife Yes, actually, there is a Korean novel series of the same name, and it is complete with an epilogue! It is available to read on Kakaopages.
