Hmm. I mean, reasonably the curse placed upon either kid was unjust (if anyone, it should have been on the Emperor himself), but seriously, that kid not only got abused by nature but by those who were supposed to care for him and love him. No wonder he goes and does what he does. Doing otherwise would have been the miracle [after betrayal upon betrayal].
Makes me wonder what's gonna happen now, since the curse has been broken. Will Al now become Emperor since the Prince theoretically is a total troll/tool? Or, will we see that trope where the MC ends up with both main leads chasing after her, plus other side characters, plus the other female leads? =P
