Perez indeed isn't really keen on being emperor but he's still gonna be one. He told Jovaness to make his final edict for Tia. So that Tia can be empress and matriarch.
Jovaness was mad but Perez was like... okay, I'll write a letter so that Astana can be emperor (Astana at that time only had 1 arm and was in a battle field) OR do you want it to be someone from the branch family?
Jovaness was flabbergasted that Perez was willing to give it all up. Then Perez was like "yeah.. Tia or nothing." Jovaness asked what will happen if he can't be emperor. Perez was like "I'll be a live in son-in-law."
Jovaness gave up and made his final edict.
Why it has to be Jovaness
1. If Perez becomes emperor and changes the law - legally it would apply to the next emperor and not during his reign.
2. Tia won't like it if he changes the law for his new law to take effect on his reign.
PLEASE NOTE: I wish I'd had a heads up for what was in special episode 1, so Imma provide a content warning).
This isn't meant to pass judgement on content, creator, or consumers of content - just hoping to provide an opportunity for the reader to know what they're getting into. The special episode felt like a drastic change in content, pacing, and tone. aka new fetishes (and potential squicks)
Here's an AO3-esque content warning for special chapter 1 that's roughly in order of appearance.
If I'm not supposed to use this type of language on the forms, please let me know and I'll delete this post. This is what's depicted in the episode.
Some of the CWs aren't explained or shown "onscreen", but I think implication and depiction of direct aftermath is enough to warrant a warning for the sake of informed consent & agency.
Spoilers below!
general warning for bodily fluids (semen, blood, potentially urine)
nonconsensual (noncon) body modification (Kendrick is tattooed then later stated that
rape (implied, later shown)
somnophilia (implied, later shown)
bestiality (implied, later shown -- whatever you'd call non-human/animal blobs that are compared to insects)
mpreg & birthing (implied)
"aphrodisiac fluid" aka noncon drug use, potentially watersports
violence against (non-human/animal) offspring (implied, later shown onscreen)
animal(?) characteristics / beast-like character noncons

This series was amazing. We got to follow the characters along their journey, at the same time, I'm relieved that it has an end.
I'm holding out for epilogues to catch a glimpse of weddings, Arsinoe, and the empress some more, but I much prefer a conclusion to a series than it dragging on for hundreds of chapters more.
This also means the artist and authors will be free to work on more projects like this one in the future.
Idk, I ain't mad. I loved the journey while on it, and I'm looking forward to the next one.











fyi the sequel is also on here with 6.5 chapters
