Thanks for the mass release!!
Also, this guy is scummy... He's doing all this because he wants an "heir" so he's realized that the girl that has been lying to him from the start is already pregnant with his child, so he's doing everything he can to raise her in a position for their child to be considered a legitimate heir, so he's putting his Empress on the back burner for it. What. A. Scum. Bag. I'm so glad his plan gets ruined by her joining hands with our ML.
