Chuan used to trust her sister so much, I wonder what happened to make him wary of her even when on death bed..
I believe it was explained in one of the episodes that Chuan's aware LR has power/control of the noble houses which means indirectly has power over him/the Emperor..so essentially, she's even more superior than the Emperor. This makes him a puppet ruler, always under the thumbs of the noble houses as was his late father. So when the people he wanted to protect slowly died or taken away, he also lost his kind self.
I think the essential difference between PWX and LR, concerning their relationship is that in the past, LR knew…
Does PWX really not know his own feelings ? Or is it he thinks LR doesn’t love him but loves SRQ instead , thus he doesn’t want to force his one-sided love on her? I didn’t read the novel, so.. I don’t know. Maybe he’s a little of both…
