Thank you for the updates!😁
@Akera93 The emperor didn't cause her phoenix sickness, her family did. He had already claimed her as his empress before he knew she was a member of Bloody Repose, so I don't think it's a power grab. Yeah, you definitely shouldn't be slicing up your chick with swords but, based on the time period, it could be worse. At least he bothered to give her medicine at all. I think he respects her for her strength and intelligence and lets her get away with a lot more than other women of the same historical setting would. Eh, what can you say? That's how the genre goes.🤗
