I can't help but wonder if the emperor is just as doting with the other kids as he is with Estrella. I know she's the MC and all, but it would make me sad if the dad is significantly nicer to Estrella than he is to the others. It seems like he is, judging by what the high priest said before :/
When is the empress coming? I wonder what's up with her, she's not living with her children and seems to make the emperor nervous. The emperor doesn't seem like the type of person to cheat but he must have, so I wonder why.
