everything up until now has been plain stupid. dam near every decision has been absolutely brain dead and just to further the plot. 1. ML should've just told elena he knew who she was. 2. should've told her about their past. the concern that the emperor has eyes everywhere and the fact the ML knows might cause a problem for elena is brain dead. Tell her you know instead of making her suffer pretending like this. Tell her about ure past instead of making her believe in her loneliness. 3. The perfect time to reveal it was when the red hair bas**** exposed elena. Either ML or FL could've confessed, ML didn't know their convo but clearly knows red hair bas**** knows something about elena hence why she's acting like that. The best plan is to confess and build an actual dam plan. Not blindly stumble around, this is so stupid.
