That was a little confusing. I mean, the seme made it seem like the uke's father was a horrible ruler, overturning his dad's rule. Yet, his father sounded like an ogre himself, who had it coming. If he was willing to throw his son and his mother into,the streets, it's hard to imagine he treated strangers any better than the uke's dad did.
I think it had to do with the way the Fusou king treated his people. They were already in a state of rebellion and thus Nachi's hand was forced when he fell for Prince Suou and he only had one path to keep him safe because everyone else wanted to execute him. The path was to become Emperor and unite his power while keeping Suou prisoner.
I wonder what happened after that. We know the new kingdom was named Kou in honor of both nations but especially Suou. And the other stories seem to be having this tradition of protecting Kou for a very long time.
I'm curious what happened with the first gay marriage. How did that story happen?
Good stories, but the last one was confusing. At one point the seme said the uke had tried to deceive him but he doesn't say how and it seems like the uke didn't do anything of the sort. The seme also said being king would be troublesome but after a while he tells the uke he wants to become king. The last thing I didn't understand is how the seme didn't like his father (if not hated him), who was a king, because he abandoned him and his mother, who then died early, but afterwards he helps the remainig people from his fathers palace take revenge on the man, who caused his death (and probably destroyed the whole royal family or even conquered the country?), who was the ukes father and some kind of noble from the neighboring kingdom.
... That became longer than expected.
