Before leaving, he made sure to warn the ml's trusted allies to keep an eye on that commander or whoever it was at the border. That move was crucial in preventing the bratty emperor from pulling anything shady. Honestly, with the emperor's personality, I can't imagine how things would've turned out otherwise :3

I was honestly waiting for the ML to fully rebel and give that bratty emperor the spanking he deserved lol. The emperor's lucky the MC was on the brink of death at the time. The ML who was never believed in fate or destiny, but was at the end of rope, actually kneeled and prayed in front of a Buddha statue, promising to minimize the loss of life if it means the MC could live. And miraculously, the MC recovered, which is why the rebellion never actually ended up happening (tho that bratty emperor still die from illness later).

It was already incredibly hard to be in love with your own brother, knowing your relationship can never be accepted or seen by the world. And to make things worse, the author even decided to kill one of them off, huhu. Though I never expected this pair, still, no matter the situation, I just hate seeing couples get tragic endings. Especially the kind where they're separated by death. Luckily there was an extra where it seemed they reincarnated and met again.
