I hope not. He was with Shanghee when she met the Emperor. I think he walked her back to her room while the shadow guy talked to the Emperor. If I am remembering it correctly he can't be. Probably need to reread the chapter to make sure though. I do feel bad for him that he has no power and now Shanghee had the awakening. I hope it doesn't come between them.

I wonder if the shadow man that is seen talking to the emperor is her older brother. Kind and nice on one side but cold and caculative on the other? What do you guys think
