He married her for her family connections, but had his little man-feelings hurt by how much more capable she was than him. Probably couldn't get it up with her out of overwhelming feelings of inferiority.I thought the maid was shady when in the earlier chapters she had sweat on her face when Maria asked her to send a letter to her father. Then as the chapters went on I thought she was an actual friend/sister.
Welp, too bad.
But what is the Emperor's gameplan?
He married Maria, wouldn't it have been much more easier to get her preggo instead of railing every other girl? And he should have known the repayment date for his loan.
I'm going to be honest the betrayal of the maid just feels wasted and dumb, like there already was the consort so adding the maid is just "oh you thought everyone you know and loved and are dead and you were betrayed by you husband too but wait your maid who has been advocating for your safety has also betrayed you cause................well you should stop worrying about that and realize the tragedy".
Also why take her as hostage and nothing else, just kill everyone. The ML's reputation and kingdom are known as barbarians so everything he has done to seem noble and not like a barbarian seems dumb. Like the woman you love has actively lost everything and has no hope outside of revenge so playing the knight in shining armor seems moot since that's not what she needs or wants.
I get that this is supposed to be tragedy to love story but the villainy is rivaling the Chinese writing level
I actually saw it coming...i was even expecting it to happen way earlier or rather it to get reveal earlierDamn, did not see the betrayal from the maid coming. Well enjoy the downfall of the country you miserable putas.
We don't know if there's a reason for it, but as said earlier in the story, Maria has never gotten pregnant to the point where they had doctors check if she was physically unable to have children anymore. Might have some reason behind it, might just be bad luck, we'll just have to see.I thought the maid was shady when in the earlier chapters she had sweat on her face when Maria asked her to send a letter to her father.

she pretty much lost everything so now that she doesnt have anything anymore.I honestly think that they probably cant pay even if you give them a year cause She is the only one moving with earnesty in the kingdom. Everyone else is just going for their own agenda.
Sk Probably the merc prince,
1. Her wellbeing
Shes in a really really bad shape. Experiencing all that and ended in up destroying your own empire may not be good for her sanity. Giving her sometime to contemplate, after all what slave will go back to his master if not the master is a caring person. That will lead to the second point...
2.Willingness
Just to make sure, that Empress to her own accord, burns that empire in the ground. Half of it was already done by the maid lmao.
He can dispose the empire whenever he wants but everything is for her alone.
she pretty much lost everything so now that she doesnt have anything anymore.
she could
going and getting revenge,
the other is giving up on everything lost in life,
or maybe go on with their life forgetting everything that happened to them as if nothing happened,
or moving on (impossible i'd say)
we don't like the last 3 options so probably revenge
now the question is who is going to do it and it's pretty obvious
