WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND BESIDES ALL OF THIS IS WHY did the Emperor tell my dad, right when he asked for the archer, that the Crown Prince would gladly help him with it? No matter how many times I think about it, it doesn't make any sense to me. From what I've known of him, he would never maliciously mock my dad, like his 3rd son and his wife.
He loves my dad like a brother. And I know that they are only friends today because he was always after my dad when he was younger. Although, because of some unknown reason, our families aren't so close, which I'm thankful for. Well, except for Octavian and Dalilah, of course. Because my older brother is best friends with the 3rd Prince, and my twin is protected by the Empress, who's not only Dalilah's Godmother but his too.
