Honestly, the only reason El thinks an emperor is so high up is because he kept his memories as a human... But even then, he should know the difference between the status of a dragon and a human emperor. The difference is very large.
It feels like El would even bow down to the kid at this point.
Imagine a god serving a regular human. I'm an athiest, but even then It doesn't sound right or look right in my mind.
His thinking is so mundane, it sometimes makes me want to drop this webtoon.
Also, I hate the fact that El puts so much emphasis on the fact that her contractor is an Emperor/has status... What if it was a normal kid in poverty and with no status instead?
