I love that Etienne like Antoine. Since the shift in Rishar behavior toward Antoine I like Rishar less and less because Antoine is a victim, at the same level of Rishar and Etienne. Antoine is also a mirror of Etienne if he could've lived his life as an omega, forced marriage, have nothing to say etc. That's why I like Antoine and I want him to have a good relationship with Etienne because both of them are used by their parents and they don't have a choice.
OHH the Emperor is still alive !! I hope, he's gonna actually do something and stop being a ghost
