I'm frustrated by the foolishness of the king in the name of feeling guilty about the first queen, though I guess I shouldn't be too greedy. At least we can see that there's progress in this chapter, as the king at the very least finally realized the toxic mindset of the First Queen.
Also, I really, really like the Queen Dowager. It's interesting seeing the parallel of the Queen Dowager and the First Queen, how different they seems to be, even though they're both Queens who can't gave birth to a direct pureblood descendant.
