Man, if you’re ACTUALLY reading the manhwa, you would’ve get why he doesn’t go to this father. To answer your question shorty: his father doesn’t care about him and he’s afraid of the empress because of the empress’ connection to sorcerers (hence she knows someone who can make an eye drop to cover the Prince’s eyes). Pay attention, girly.
Both the emperor and the empress are their own piece of shit.
Make sense. We can only retain so much information. Especially if we’re reading a lot but yeah, that’s the reason. The grand duke did call out the emperor for his behavior towards his own biological son, though. But it wasn’t enough and now the prince doesn’t feel like telling anything related to his situation to his father. He just gives him the information he needs to maybe “defeat” the empress. Hence, I also hate his father as much as I hate his mother.
What response am I supposed to give to that. Stop trying to turn this into me dismissing the implications of what a rape victim would experience. I gave an extremely short answer to a question about a fictional character in an ongoing story. If you don’t agree that’s fine but to keep going back and forth about him being raped like that happening is the ONLY reason that he hasn’t done anything is nonsensical. That’s why I said they aren’t mutually exclusive. He has trauma and he is also afraid of her/her family OUTSIDE of the rape.

Why doesn’t the mc just go to his father. I mean he’s literally the emperor, he has WAY more power than his mother and could protect him from her
