The point of the marriage was to stop the royal family from forcing the dad into an arranged marriage and muscling the boys out of their inheritance/possibly just straight up murdering them when the new wife had a kid.
This is literally spelled out in the first couple of chapters, how did you not notice?
they were awful parents. 7 year contract? did they actually think that would work? ken’s response/anger as a kid made so much sense. and since those two took too long to actually explain anything, the damage was already done. ken already resented her too much and suddenly going back would be hard. especially for someone as stubborn and traumatized as him. and nick? he did literally nothing wrong. why is he being punished? it is obvious that FL neither wants to go back to the old house, nor continue playing his mother. I know she just wanted to fulfill her promise, but all she did was essentially traumatize these children and then discard them. you can’t swoop in, force yourself into the role of a mother and then suddenly just dip. she would have done less damage staying away from the kids then this shit. seriously. what was she thinking? and don’t get me started on the husband. spineless coward that took too long to explain the situation to his kids, took too long to get back the FL and is now forcing himself in her orbit after she made it clear that she didn’t want him in there. I dislike them both and honestly f them both because they came up with that shit plan. smh
