the chapter on here is wrong but i read on another site, someone help me with the ending bc i think i'm slow...
What the heck is the prince talking about at the end of the chapter? does he mean the three men are nice to her because she looks like the former queen?? but what does that have to do with Jeremy being pure and bright? what does knowing that mean???
forgive my brain i just can't connect it all (-‿-")

Yes, he means that Jeremy is able to keep a "pure" and "bright" life because he doesn't know the reason why his father even took Shuri specifically as his wife(because she looks like the former queen). It's like telling someone that they are a kid and are only able to keep their innocence for the sole reason that they haven't experience the harsh reality of the world. To keep it simple:
Theobald: "Jeremy you are able to act as good because you don't know the bad things someone has done to keep you safe"
The POS prince just thinks everyone is as disgusting & despicable as himself.
Knowing about shuri's resemblance to a woman who drove the three most powerful men in the empire crazy shouldn't change the picture as much, at least I don't think Jeremy would change. It's just the late Marquis' way to ensure his children would have the favor of emperor and duke (thanks to shuri's face) when he's gone, in addition to fulfilling his own fantasy ofc. If anything, it makes shuri's predicament even more sad & empathizable.
What's really gross is the prince knowingly objectifying & getting so obsessed with a woman resembling his own mother without ever actually respecting her own will.
This chapter was so hard to read I was struggling through every panel. Sangwoo is so messed up and his situation makes him even more pitiful. I honestly can’t tell if his mother sexually abused him but there is a weird dynamic in their relationship that may fall more along the lines of emotional dependency (which may have been why she was so upset about the letter). I also don’t think his mom killed the father, at least I don’t think she delivered the final blow. I say that because woo himself said he hadn’t killed a man since his dad and we can tell that he doesn’t take pleasure in killing men since his fixation is on women. I think he loved his mom so much that he was forced into a situation where he had to kill his dad. This may have been him being tricked or coerced by his mother, and in order to protect her he killed his father. Maybe then his resentment towards his mother caused him to kill her spurting his obsession with killing women. But I also almost think she committed suicide, never letting him fulfill that resentment which then turned into an obsession of killing women because he could never kill her.
...idk I have too many thoughts lol

don't tell me i read all that and waited every week for THAT
