From a person that actually quite disinterested so I’ve been looking at the storage actively I do agree I feel like he was very much taken advantage of when I came to his trauma I also like the situation that it actually shows that the mail is weak but not in general he’s not actually weak he’s just very traumatized and his soul is very fragile I don’t think there’s anything wrong with loving somebody that is weaker than you in multiple ways if you can handle doing that because if a person is depressed if it was a girl everybody would be painting it differently also I think back then he was very much manipulated into thinking that he knew that she was in a good person per say but he was too blinded by the fact that she still helped him and when the other girl started turning crazy it was like OK I can get rid of her because she said so
yeah, the sister would literally let out her frustration in her maids & she was trying to taker out the mistress. She said it herself, she changed & didn't even like who she had become. From the emperor's view, she was trying to harm the woman he cared about. Plus he was brainwashed, used & manipulated. Literally used his traumas against him for her own good.

lucio honestly isn’t half as bad as yall paint him out to be, her sister DID seem evil in her last life, and rose pretended to be nice; any reasonable person would take the situation at its face value. And on top of all of that lucio is pretty much traumatised and desperate for love. Like this situation is just different from stories liek abandoned empress in my opinion.
