@Yelcy not saying I'm defending the Empress' actions. But to understand why the story is far from climax nor resolution is because all the characters have their own independent agenda. Which as a writer, I find amazing because this personal agendas end up clashing with each other making the story more exciting.
Plus, Rishar and Etienne still needs some character growth before the final act. So I'm currently happy with the story flow
@Yelcy the queen does not care about her son at all while she is complex she would have rather he not be born especially bc she could not have more kids she does not care about anyone but herself and felt slighted the emperor rejected her. she wants him emperor so she could be empress dowager and have even more power and political sway she can only have a chance by risking her child's life drugging him.
@Yelcy the story flow is OK seems more like it was popular and like most with a contract get milked for years. no reason there has been minimal character development and in some cases regression FOUR seasons in
