found a audioreading of the novel here's the link to it https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbvuN5TLC8a7gqoqfQm7zgys_jYfKBgC&si=cifs8LlL-lIzBYwi it only goes up to chapter 350 but if your impatient like me give it a try
the scene where dohun's father accepts him as his heir and what made me like just laugh for a whole minute is how their father is offcially introducing each other as sibilings and dohuns like teach me sex to his older brother and the father for once was like what?? HAHAH like that scene is so fucking insane to me
idk why but whenever the scenes of the brother and father come up sometimes i laugh on how fucking crazy they are like the scene of the brother jorking it off on his father desk and his father just not giving a shit and gohun's father just fucking tight hugging dohun as if he didnt fucking leave him in the basement to rot yeah this family is fucking crazy so crazy that their actions seem funny to me maybe im just coping idk
sa-yan was dying kinda idk maybe? it was confirmed he was sick then he wrote a will saying after his death illac gets to be free and his enemies will be destroyed after illac saw that will he had a dream where sa-yan died frfr and i guess he was so stressed from reading that will that he had that dream but he wakes up sa-yan is fine and then sasha? i think forgot she existed cause i fr thought did sa-yan had a kid before he died? also who's that old lady with them anyhow very confusing read
So Sa-Yan is alive and well, in this chapter it's been 30 years they've been together . When Ilic discovered the will he actually got pissed of about the content and also because he has some regrets from the period when Sa-Yan was really sick like 10 years prior to this timeline. [I won't spoil the reason has it's the main point of next chapter] (But basically most of what was shown in the dream was real except the death of Sa-Yan of course and the pig stuff but wait for next chap for this it's funny).
About Sacha, first time she appears, she's the only daugter of Leisa and the Empress. It was only mentionned in previous chapters that they already had 3 kids.
They old lady is called Mel I think, anyway she's just a servant here to take care of the princess. About why they are here : Ilic used them has an excuse to escape the palace.
I hope this cleared most of your questions, well most of them are answered in the next chapter which seems to be the last.
Yep post sickness it’s been 20 years. Basically he was sick and wrote the will in the chapter you saw. Then I guess he got better, don’t know how. Then time skip 20 years happens, everybody is now old. Suddenly, iliac has a nightmare about sayan dying to scare the shit out of readers lol but they are alive and old/grand uncles to the little girl
In the next chapter it's said that they have been together for 30years in the current timeline (when Ilic wakes up from the nightmare), we saw in this chapter that Ilic discovered the "Real testament" a few days ago and got angry about the content so he used Sacha as an escuse to get out of the Palace to avoid Sa-Yan
In the next chapter they talk about it and Ilic remembers that Sa-Yan got really sick in the past and he was making testaments everyday. He then they that this testament was something way older and hab been written 20 years ago at the time he abdicated in favor to Leisa.
For me the Duke got seek not 20 years ago but around 10 years ago because Leisa is Emperor since a while now they already have 3 kids with the Empress which isn't the case 20 years ago as it's around the time of the summer festival and the god of slaves cosplay. Also Ilic and Sa-Yan look older than they are portrayed 20 years ago but yonger than they are portrayed now.









i know like he's forgotten but yo he helped with chloe and raymond romance and helped estelle get out of that tower that rusty kairos put her in and gave her a somehow good life before she was even titled as saintness like i feel so sad for him i would have liked for him to be remembered by chloe and at least have closure that he needed if dalhia had closure why couldn't enoch have that
