why did i think the emperor would go softer on etienne after ml called him out for neglecting him. like theres even a panel showing that the emperor realised what he'd done and then he even gave etienne a gift right after
but I WAS SO WRONG i thought he said 'casual conversation' meant they would be talking out their relationship BUT NO ITS ABOUT THE THRONE SITUATION fucking stipid emperor i hate him so much i hsye the mother more i hope they rot ヽ(`Д´)ノ
i repeatedly told myself i only read this for smut. but that was just... wow.....
