i think the issue with this theory and why his mom didn’t go through with it is because omegas have no power over the throne other than through their children. Even if mc married ml and becomes the empress at this time, he would have practically no power or authority over the nation and general ruling duties. He would only gain some power if he were to have a child eligible for the throne, he gains power by association. This is what the mom currently has. So if the mom goes with mc marrying ml, she loses all the power she had because the potential power of mc is lost.
Not saying that I support her hiding it, she’s a very fucked person and i hope she gets banished or smth. It’s just that within their current legislation system, mc won’t get any power as an omega. I’m predicting that he’ll gain people’s trust through not only ruling but also fighting. So when it comes to light that he’s an omega, either he will have enough support to change legislation and take to the throne or ml takes the throne first and changes legislation with very little opposition.
Yes! I do understand this point, I was making mine based on the fact that Rishar has followed Etienne around like a puppy since early age and with the right manipulation, the empress could have had not one but the two of them as puppet rulers without completely fucking up Etienne's entire endocrine system.
What I've wanted my point to revolve around was the bodily damage made to Etienne, since one of the biggest points of conflict so far has been the medicine killing him slowly, the damage done by the lack of hormones his body should be producing, also he's probably infertile at the moment too and if he ever wanted to have kids he'd have to go through extensive therapy to correct the damage done and so on.
Fr I'm so scared he drugged etienne with that tea they were just drinking
BUT I DON'T LIKE THE WAY HE SAID IT
Tbh the whole conflict of the manwha, that the empress wants Etienne on the throne and the Emperor wants Rishar on the throne, would have been solved easily if they had been engaged since early life and married, but because the empress is a power hungry crazy bitch and preferred pumping drugs into Etienne to make him pass as an alpha rather than orchestrating a way to control Rishar via Etienne, this variable was simply not eligible for her.
Still, If they got married and bonded, it would solve the conflic of putting both of them in the throne
