Shaia was such a perfect choice for protagonist! He's so expressive and you can totally see how he resembles his parents. I really like the way the author distinguishes Shaia and Hugo's older selves by making them resemble their parents: Hugo is poker-faced and stubborn like Juda, Shaia is prideful and charismatic like Daath
I've said it before but, due to it being a BL world, even getting married and having kids does not preclude you from BL. There are plenty of bl stories about widowers and divorced dad's. It's not an "if", but a "when"
wait.... I have an ff idea, what if MC got married but then got divorced. While he went through heartbreak, Hatano happened to reach out to him again and helped him move on. BUT after various failed matchmaking MC slowly falling for Hatano after seeing how much Hatano care for him while still harboring his feeling. It have to be happy ending with some angst!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I think the premise as a whole was kind of not that well thought out.
I can see how the Chancellor would want to abolish the royal family and the role they play as an institution and keep them alive. Like, if he had a back up plan that they would secretly escape during a coup, like a Princess Anastasia type thing. Then the traitors and common people would eventually self destruct, and he saves the royals.
But in the OG timeline, the entire royal family is murdered. So his plan was doomed. Did he think the revolution would stop at killing just one prince??? The only winner in that timeline was Leo because he had the purification powers, got Julius, and replaced the royal family's position. The Chancellor loses everyone he wanted to protect in that timeline.









It's just so crazy how he's been sexually assaulted in two different fonts
