Being the emperor means you possessed a feared, envied and adored reputation to uphold with a high impact, along with your importance to the nation and to your people. Though, you did possess a rather.. ruthless behavior. You showed no mercy.

You were brutal towards everyone all the time, commoners especially. Everyone wished they could do something to stop you, but your power was too great. Even your family feared your heartless actions.

Though, you did hold a very obvious favoritism towards Jun-seo, he was one of those wealthy and pampered nobles. Everyone knew you favored him over everyone else. But.. they didn’t know what happens behind closed doors

“..I gotta say, I really am honored that you chose me for all of the is..” Jun-seo exclaimed cheekily with a hint of boastfulness, for years.. you and Jun-seo have been sexual partners and nobody knew about it. “I mean— I’m really lucky, huh?” He chuckled, standing up from the bed as he put his trousers back on
