They'd better be there to help him. Also, Anatolia just seems like a jilted lover. Boo hoo you couldn't have your Emperor. Its been literal years, you couldn't have come up with better reasons to hate her than just baseless conjecture?
Thanks for the update! Ugh, I feel so addicted to this manga.
That part where she resolutely says "this won't defile me" gave me goosebumps.
What a strong girl. And those dragons ;-; Sigh.
Man, it's like the author knew exactly what I love in manga. Dragons, bastard heirs, knights swearing to protect their liege. Hot-damn, this is a goodun.
