Now, don't get me wrong. I love how the story tackles the different themes involved here: romance, family relations, trauma, etc. and I also like how it depicted trauma response and how it affects not only to the person carrying the burden, but also the people surrounding him. So far, I've been liking the general premise and the flow of the story.
HOWEVER, what I do not understand here is why is the king so determined on having the ml have the throne and the leads just accepting it? As what the younger bro said on chapter 44, he could have revoke his right to succession but he chose not to?
It's so cliche that they make "he does not look pass his past, but he faced it and try to overcome it" as a central argument on why he deserves a chance on the throne. Like bfr, self discovery and growth can be a separate matter because wdym we will be getting an assassin and murderer king? (This will be the people’s reaction if his past comes into light). Like if you compare it to the trained to be king younger bro vs. the long lost eldest assasin son, ofc I would pick the former.
Also, it's like we are also overlooking the younger bro's feelings here like imagine, having to fill in the absence of his brother, all his life growing up he was trained to be the next king and has to bear the expectations around him, just for it to suddenly vanish because his long lost brother has been found. Like make it make sense pls. So in a way i kind of understand why the lil bro is jealous and hates his bro...because i rlly believed his hatred stem from the situation he's been put into because of the absence and the presence of the ml.
But oh well, this one is a classical setting where the eldest son gets to have all the rights and benefits while the younger sibs gets almost nothing. Yeah we get it.
