A girl version of Tei! The heck, she's so beautiful, it's so unfairrrrrrr.
Hehehehehhehe, I first watched this series through the anime adaptation. It was hella good! And on top of that, Ashaf is freaking handsome, actually, all of them are. And the Necromancer Witch—she's so beautiful and incredibly protective of her creations. And Oscar! Don’t get me started on that beautiful boy, literally.
I may be a rotten girl, but I won't like them turning this into my favorite genre. Because it just hit different, like do fujoshi get me? Or it just me? I always has a thing to hidden unknowing turmoil between two men who regards each other quite beyond friendship yet not lover but something like that but isn't. Yeah, complexity excites me, predictability bores me.
It’s honestly laughable that some people don’t understand the real reason harems existed in the first place. A harem was never just about the emperor’s personal pleasure. Its true foundation was political power and stability, something that directly benefited the emperor himself.
The women who entered the harem, especially the primary consorts, were usually from powerful aristocratic families. Because of this, each consort represented more than just herself; she represented an entire clan, faction, or political network. By bringing these women into the imperial household, the emperor was effectively tying powerful families directly to his throne.
This arrangement strengthened the emperor’s authority. Those families now had a vested interest in protecting the emperor’s reign because their own status and influence were connected to the palace. In other words, the harem functioned as a political alliance system centered on the emperor.
These women were not merely decorative figures. Their presence symbolized political relationships. Offending or mistreating a high-ranking consort could risk angering the powerful families behind her, which is precisely why they carried influence within the court. That influence was not a weakness of the emperor’s power, it was part of the structure that supported it.
The system helped bind the nation’s most powerful houses to the throne, ensuring that their interests aligned with the emperor’s survival and authority. That is the true basis of the harem system: not indulgence, but political strategy designed to strengthen the emperor’s power.
Study historical facts, people! Before letting your naivety speak. History was never all rainbows and sunshine, especially in eras like this.
