Owen was a bastard -- the Emperor wasn't his real dad. I think they said his real dad was a "Vasiliy." (Same family as that guy with lots of moles that Durant was sleeping with because he thought he looked like Owen.) And his mother was the Emperor's second wife, so he didn't share a mother with Durant's dad or Shahid's mother. So he's not related to Durant by blood.

I really don't get anyone worshipping these two. Owen is a victim of repeated r*pe and you want him to end up with the grandson of his abuser (who's also a r*pist) ?!
Is it possible to have so little empathy ?!
Those scenes are really making me more and more sick to my stomach ┗( T﹏T )┛
