Did they legit use a homeless child as a plot device for the king to be like How much has ...

the trope is lowkey pretty common but they did help the kid though?

True but i meant, usually other manhwas would mention that they helped the kid out from the streets or stuff like that- yk maybe get them into an orphanage but in this one the last you see of the kid is when they said goodbye and from the looks of the panel the kid doesn’t look like he was helped in any way other than being stopped from being hit which don't get me wrong is good but for a king and queen who has a power to help but walk away from a homeless child rubs me the wrong way especially if its just for a plot device, just my opinion tho! Im not trying to be political or all that stuff, i just wished there were better ways it could be shown where the kid was actually helped

I’m sure in the novel it goes into more detail abt the orphan child. I did think it strange that the author didn’t pursue the usual trope, but I can definitely understand that the details don’t suit this particular story that well imo; plus, it’s overrated. This story itself is pretty original , adding that type of plot would through it off. Realistically speaking, they did what a king and queen would do: help the citizens briefly, politically, but not deeply. They’ll prob be seen as too softhearted or whatever. Maybe I’m bias since this story is just so great, a homeless/orphan child troupe wouldn’t have been a great addition
