he did not betray the monarchs, rather the monarchs were originally loyal to the rulers i believe. bla bla bla i’m too lazy to explain, shadow monarch (not jinwoo) remained loyal while the monarchs betrayed the rulers thus the wars. and as the monarch in this chapter mentioned, the existence of sung jinwoo means that the shadow monarch also betrayed the rulers because he’s supposed to be dead from the last war the rulers and the monarchs had. also the rulers are not the statue things lmaooo.

Jinwoo is both a monarch and a ruler now? And monarchs are monsters, and rulers are that statue kind of things. Hmm then Jin-woo and maybe his father is the human one. Are there more human monarchs or rulers I wonder.
Anyway this is going to be amazing. Jinwoo vs everyone... I can't wait
