They are half-siblings. I've read somewhere that its the reason why the emperor hated the siblings because Cayeyna reminded the emperor of the empress and Rezef is Rapahel's half sibling.
Emperor + Empress = Cayeyna
Empress + Raphael's Dad = Rezef
Emperor + woman who is being used by Duke Heinrich to threaten the emperor = Cute little brother
But Rezef does not have any rights to the Duke Raphael's title and wealth because it's from his mother's side and their father is from a lower nobility from what I can remember.
You guys. Its a bit messed up but I cant stop myself from reading because its so good. Read up the novel its on chapter 101 now.
frfr. especially the way the prince sees cayena as 'his person' ༎‿༎ not an obsession but like in a genuine way. ik they grew up together like siblings and all BUT just look at their relationship. if ur really gonna think abt it, it's just too deep.
and raphael rejected cayena in the past. well he's hot too , but that's the only thing that's going on for him ¯_( ° ʖ ° )_/¯
No problem, here you go.
