This chapter had me slightly lifted before pushing me into another pit of despair. NOOOOOOOOO, I wasn't expecting them to let their guards down or be slightly more receptive to the emperor just from what their guardian had told them. BUT MANNNNN I thought their relationship would improve slightly, not another misunderstand 🥺🥺😭😭😭. I wonder how terrifying and terrible they felt when they heard what was being said. The emperor should really be more tactful regardless of where he is... As the saying goes, the walls have ears... Hopefully, there would still be hope in fixing this 😵
