I liked it but I feel like there is still a lot of loose ends that didn’t get wrapped up. Like why the prince actually wanted her to stay at the end rather than kill her, or what her dad did that caused the parents to kill their son. It says these events happened but doesn’t explain what it was. And I get that it technically does explain that but it still makes you curious at that point when it’s mentioned many times. What about the emperor’s perspective ? Cause by the end you could see he loved his wife and child but he didn’t show any of that or his reason for the death - even if it was accidental - you just see him as a villain. What about the new god. What about the maid and finding out it was for revenge.
The prince wanted to keep "Eris" alive because she was (before her soul died) the only person deeply devoted to him no matter what. In the end he didn't care if it was actually Eris or not, he wanted to keep up the illusion of it still being her (the only person who ever loved him). And for the emperor, he only loved his wife and didn't care for his son. He didn't care about killing his son as long as it meant he could keep his wife around. The emperor's son was accused of stealing funds and creating his own army and was sentenced to death. The story of what happened to the son is told in the episode where the play happens, however in the play the son kills himself rather than get murdered. The emperor doesn't go any deeper than just being a sadistic villain who only cares about himself
Why you do this to meeeeee I’m gonna cry
