Yes I want spoilers so my questions and if anyone answer, there may be spoilers.
1. Is Duke Ergi the son of that woman Alessia? Was she the lover of the previous emperor who is Sovieshu dad?
2. Duke Ergi and Henry are best friends right? Although that relationship doesn't seem much apparent so far, but there's definitely something going on between these two. Only political or there's an actual friendship?
I'm not hallucinating right? Crossover between that couple with the other story about the hairstylists in chap 43??
Yeah, you're right, that's him. I didn't realize until you pointed it out.
