What was the point of showing the duchess had given birth to twins (a boy and girl) if they were never going to show the brother? That's a major plot point that's just forgotten
He has to be around, because the father bought both Teddy bears in the toy shop and the perfect one was for the brother. But hiding his whereabouts for so long is strange.
So... from the chapters the empress and consort cleo are half-sisters then the first and second princes are both brothers and cousins? Interesting
No no I don't think they're half sisters. Cleo comes from entirely different Marquis family. That Marquis family had an eldest son and a daughter from main wife and a illegitimate daughter from a maid. The legitimate daughter was set to be the empress, but she does mysteriously and the illegitimate daughter who was working as the legitimates daughter's maid, was made to go palace
Due to her origin, she could only remain as consort

Ah thank you, the chapter was a bit confusing about that.
