The Emperor being so okay with his sister getting involved in everything is such a red flag. At first I thought, ok she must have a lot of influence so even the Emperor has to take care, but no, the Emperor is just too meek to do anything. His sis, who left the palace, got her own kid and everything, is still sitting up there with him on the throne as if they're ruling together; or even worse as if she's the one who truly rules over the palace. Eres has all the connections for a great multi-national banquet that honestly felt much more grand than the Emperor's own birthday banquet. Almost all the staff we've seen so far follow her rule and order. The Emperor is useless if not complacent.
