I want just to say that Arlendo is not the dowager empressās son! Because she married the late emperor and Arlendo is the current emperor and empress son! So it is quite weird the influence she has on him, in my opinion...
by the way I really didnāt get why the Arabella will die for this unknown disease..., I mean, if this happens all the times why the duchess didnāt know before? Or, if itās the first time, how could it be? And, another thing, if the Arabella has to die, why not tell Leslie to lose so her sister can win the role and die!! I didnāt get... š£
In any case I bet that if Leslie comes to be the Arabella her powers will defend her against the disease š itād be a real shock for the dowager empress lolol
Edit: I found the answers to my question re-reading the chapter 63. If you donāt remember like me whatās happened you can check it. Now the question is why the dowager empress wants so much Arlendo is the emperor.... maybe he is her illegitimate son??
