Figured that would be the case with that brother. The others at least have ability, accolades, and achievements to their name. All this little punk has is his connection through engagement, yet he still makes that kind of face.
The emperor is a fool, an idiot. Maybe it's his wifes' influence, and/or he was raised in a similar matter... If the later, it's surprising that the empire still stands.
Small spoilers for those curious: he will be locked for a while and his engagement to the other girl annulled.
also the second empress is a b*tch...
BUT surprisingly the mother of the two blonde princes (1st prince and the 3rd one/jerk) the first empress is actually a nice woman who will protect MC as if he was her son .
