He knows who Zig is but the thing is even if Zig wasn’t the emperor he would be the emperors son or brother meaning Zig would have way more power and influence than the merchants son would ever have, idk why bros on a power trip as a merchants son him and his family are disposable and there’s alway the next big merchant group after them. And him thinking that he’s in competition with Zig means he either thinks Zig’s brother became the Emperor or he’s just stupid and think he’s the next big thing.
