What if OG Theo already knew about his family line curse and was aiming to have a different (but dependable) family line to take the throne to ensure the stability of the ruling family?
@Firemorfox
I was under the impression that OG Theo’s betrayal was the reason the curse now exists, and that the Empress was responsible for it (based on user comments made after previous chapters). Which may also be why it is fading when she is affectionate, because her original malice is subsiding.
I agree, he does remind me of Prince Eric. Both have fluffy vibes,
and since he is a reincarnation of the Emperor Theo without the memories, for now, like Astina is of Emperor Martina, you can really see it, especially with first Theo’s black hair.
