Okay.. We all know that he's the guy in the shadows at the past chapter... I don't mind the watch.. but that guy is wearing a tie pin in his ancient clothing. 'in his ancient clothing' ----So if he really is from the same place as the empress and a co-worker as that.. then why is he wearing an ancient clothing..
ugh that dude is definitely shady af sdifjisdfj but the emperor is definitely safe bc he needs plot armor to survive until he falls in love with the empress and i dont see this taking a dark turn
I totally think this dude is an assassin who stole stuff off a legit isekai'd customer service rep and memorized that phrase to pass as a 'wondrous foreigner'.
Probably killed the poor person that stumbled into a strange land too.
I hope this super surprise plot twist resolves quickly sigh.
There's also the possibility he came to the future from the ancient world after something went on with emperor, and then somehow came back to the ancient world after a while... Though I think the theory that he stole it from legit isekai person and then killed them is more likely... o3o
