He needs to take Responsibility for his past if he want to make things right in the future

I think you're totally wrong on everything. He probably knew that she was lying about the kids or he would be surprised at the fact they exist and he kept trying to convince them that he was their father I don't thin hes done anything wrong I just think that the fl is being immature.

Actually I think you're totally wrong because the female lead isn't immature its the ML because what was the reason for him to say that he would harm or kill anyone who carries his child. She kept her pregnancy hidden before because she needed time to collect herself and look at her options and he knew this because he was invading her privacy and having creepy talks with her in her dreams. He knew she was afraid of him and when she asked about what he will do to anyone carrying his child she was trying to open up a conversation so she could have the courage to tell him he immediately says something terrifying making her back away from him and decide to run away. How is she being Immature when the EMPOROR of the kingdom she lives in said he would kill her and her kids. And when she's about to leave he reveals he knew from the beginning and was just tormenting her for his own entertainment. Would you want to stay with a manipulative toxic person I think not.

He revealed that he knew but he wasn't tormenting her and we really don't know about his past there is probably something that happened between his mother and the previous emperor for why he said what he said. And those were so not creepy talks she was willingly talking to him and cuddling with him, yeah he invaded her privacy and I get that. But she really had no right to take his kids from him especially when he wanted both her and her kids and he never ever ever threatened to kill her or her kids. when I say shes immature I mean the running away thing and acting as if she did not have the feels for him and willingly have sex with him like can she take responsibility for her actions and running away over and over again is never good for a kids childhood. He is not toxic or manipulative. SHE came up to him in the festival not the other way around he didn't manipulate anything.

You forgot something. Yes, she was willing to have sex with him at first because she DIDN'T Know that he was the emperor. Next sexual activity is because SHE THOUGHT it was only a dream, But in fact it was all the emperors doing. That's scary ghurl, the man knew everything while you're confused and acting like a fool. Who wouldn't run away with that kind of man? Except if you have some kind of fetish or something.

they only had sex once and i still stand by my belief that she should have talked it out with him and not run away with HIS kids for 5 years

The ones he said he would kill (⊙…⊙ )

She Did started to talk it out, but what was his response? He would not believe it and kill them. Of course, she have to hide it. He cares about his children? Well just recently, but what about the time she was pushed down and fell into the stairs? What did he do? Nothing.

Girl

I'm not sure if we've been reading the same Manhwa but the FL isn't psychic and she hasn't put a voodoo dream spell on the ML so how would she know about his relationship with his mother. In fact how do you know it hasn't mentioned it and the author might not even have that planned. your whole opinion of him is based on speculation and false information. I mean you literally said " he never ever ever threatened to kill her or her kids." I can give you the chapter if you want to since its clear you didn't read it. You really need to work on your analysis skills.

he wasn't talking about her because he knew she had his child he was talking about every other person that came forward and lied because he knew that. That part was all miscommunication on his part and no one knew about her falling down the stairs.

never said he would kill them and I left the other convo with you and you just gonna come back and start this cycle all over again, tf Σ( ￣□￣||)

so do you he knew she had his kids he wasn't talking about her it was a form of miscommunication on his part he meant any other women that came up to him because he knew they were lying as everybody knew he never slept with women

Yh I know that's what he meant and I know he would not do that but my issue with the whole situation is the FL didn't know and she had a right to pack up and leave and not wait for an explanation because she 100% thought he was being serious and I don't Mind the ML because I as a reader know it was a joke and have seen his thoughts and feelings but from the FL point of view and if I was in the FL point of view I wouldn't find it funny. That's the issue I have with the ML. So when they have a chance to talk and sort this out this will be a funny memory. but in the moment it wasn't funny and quite scary and he should apologies for stressing her out and nearly killing the kids because he couldn't just tell her in the moment it was a joke.

So are we clear because I don't want to keep on going back and forth with this.

Yes! It was miscommunication but if you were in the FL place, of course, you would have misunderstood. He KNOWS, didn't you see the shadow guard? The emperor always monitor her... even in her dreams gurl. Didn't you read what the doctor said? "Reporting to your owner". Myghad gurl, reread the story carefully.
