the emperor trying to raise his own sonThe king send to be petty enough to not allow someone so awesome to grow that everyone will end up remembering him like the father of his son instead of by his own stuff...
Thx for the chapter!
There' a possibility that the Emperor wants him to "suffer|struggle" in order to climb up. That OR he views him as a "threat" to his "legitimate" children, and wishes to see him crushed to prevent "competition". Though, honestly, I suspect it's actually him forcing him to endure great hardship in order to "prove" himself. Though, I can't say for sure. The Emperor may also just be a fuckbag who needs to have some up close and personal time with his new "daughter-in-law". It isn't "les majeste" if it's between parent and child... Fu. fu .fu!~So there is some kind of conspiracy to keep him down or something? It's all pretty sus, at least the duke is on his side
Nah this dude is just some mob boss at best lol
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 .
3rd one and his engagement will be not MCs. Insta karma moment lolMakes me wonder if his brother's will get a reality check. That said, that sucks. Also, LOL. BTW, who will get "locked away"? The third prince or the MC? Like HELL Lisabeth will permit her engagement to be nullified. XD The Emperor would be a dumbass to try that. I can already see her impaling "father-in-law" over that. That said, I'd look forward to 3rd prince heel-face-turn.
