I honestly think their father decrowned him not simply because he believed in the killing "rumour" that Rayburn did. As a king he's got to analyse many other aspects including power balances between his wives' houses and the view of the people as to prevent things like wars or rebellions. Or at least i hope their father thought so lol
That's good point, Kem. Whatever I wonder how weak & stupid of the Emperor to handle things that way, since what he did & the reason he gave for dethronement just confirmed that illogical rumor..
While the young girl from isolated countryside still can turn the table, move the crowd with her writing or make people come to their senses with only few questions [Ch.10]
IMO His sister, the clever & cool princess suits to be the next ruler while Rayburn suits to be the General with authority over Military to back her up.
I second this. I really don't think Rayburn is suited for governing the whole kingdom, the sister, Hoya does. Though I'm honestly still curious as how does the crown prince do his work.
What da heck! They defamed a 7-8 years old Prince for murdering the 2nd Empress?
And his father was also stupid enough to believe and decrowned him. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Obviously, that geezer General is the mastermind.
