Wait, is that what’s gonna happen in the coming chapters? Damn I shouldn’t read that. It’s my own fault. But yeah, you would think somebody would’ve said. They were shooting at her while she was tied up in a tree. Like company was there someone should’ve said something.
You know the saddest thing is that because Edwin isn’t really young ( not a child) by that era’s standards so I wish that Rachel or Sage would have a serious conversation with him- I feel he’s oblivious of the true nature of his situation-like he’s a prince in name only and NOW the emperor starts paying attention to him ( to use him as a shield for the first prince) So Like Rachel should make him aware about the schemes of the palace so that he wouldn’t be USED then discarded- like Rachel is already feeding him poison with each meal to build a tolerance and Edwin is keeping up with poison training so At least he whould get Emotional Training so he doesn’t cling to the emperor’s shallow acts like having tea together/ inviting him to family breakfast/ acknowledging him in front of the nobles at the hunting event- Edwin is actually mentally weak and he’s easily terrified and flustered — but I’ll still give the emperor the benefit of the doubt that maybe his actions aren’t hypocritical and that maybe he’ll genuinely care BUT the doesn’t forgive him for neglecting both children just because their mother died and he has no use for them
The emperor as usual is a piece of I hope I’m misunderstanding his intentions but so far whenever he gets screen time I just role my eyes- this trash only married the 3rd consort as a tool to control the west but she died after giving birth to Emilia so he discarded the children cause they aren’t useful tools - he’ll let Edwin join the training- he and Jerome will plan to strengthen him to become a shield to their chosen Heir Prince Adrian they want to use Edwin that’s why Rachel will reject Jerome when he offers to become the sword instructor and then this petty guy will retaliate by doubling the training so Edwin suffers - the emperor doesn’t even know who Emilia is and then when he remembered he referred to her as Edwin’s sister not my daughter I just DISLIKE him - he KNOWS that the second consort and her son harass Edwin but he just watches cause worthless tool don’t matter if they can’t be used for his empire and he’s actually proud that he took the throne after killing his siblings because they were just living livestocks as he referred. Anyway I just hate him
