Otaku Life

Why is Gilbert using an eyepatch?

Because he knew one day, he would die, and when he heard about the story of the real Leon Dompteur, that his mother is looking for a slave boy that looks exactly like the real prince (yeah he knows that too) and Gil thinks that's cool

He actually found someone who looks like him, and since his eyepatch is covering (almost) half of his face, no one would know (that the real Gilbert is dead, if ever)

But ofc his "duplicate" isn't needed anymore because he decided to live for Emma

Why did he remove it?

Ehehe bc lovey dovey time

After undressing her, Gil is taking his sweet time admiring his little bunny's body

Emma is shy and covered her chests with her arms, and Gil said he will remove his eyepatch

He did, and she was bamboozled

Now he can see her in full view lol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And said that he will only remove his eyepatch whenever he and Emma are alone

Why red and blue eyes?

The red eye was from the father side while the blue was from the mother side

If I'm not mistaken, red was the eye color of Obsidian family

It's only Gilbert who has red and blue eyes

Isn't he so beautiful?

About Chev and Gil

Chev and Gil have known each other since they were kids, and often read books together (I think near his "hideout"? Because the background is the same from the flashback and from the scene where he took Emma to his private place or probably in some sort of alley

Chev knows that Gil was once like Emma, who is pure hearted

He asked Chev that if ever he's not around Emma, Chev must protect her, since he is the only one who can protect her

Chev was stunned, it took him a moment to understand what Gilbert means, it's his will, his dying wish

After exchanging a few words, Chev agreed

His family?

Gil had 4 brothers, all dead. Including their mom. I think he has no relatives other than Yves, after all, the Obsidian family are killing each other for the throne

He is the current emperor, he killed his father, who tried (and failed) to invade Rhodolite 10 years ago

First love

Gilbert and Emma have never met before, but since Gilbert used to stay in Rhodolite when he was a child, he met Akatsuki (bookstore owner) and Emma's adoptive father. Akatsuki mentioned that little Emma is so pure hearted and loves books, just like him.

Whenever Gilbert and Akatsuki met, he will tell him more about her and Akatsuki blamed himself for Gilbert's obsession for Emma

And since he's so obsessed with her, he made sure she will stay by his side, Emma was a hostage but she actually went with him in Obsidian willingly

Since the emperor fell in love with her, overnight Emma became the Empress of Obsidian (proxy)

Chokebert

Whoever discovers his illness (his weakness) will die, and Emma finds out (thanks Walter)

Gil strangled her, but when she passed out, he lets go and bury his face on her shoulder

His doctor shouted at him that if he kills the woman he loves, he will suffer more

Gil denies this, and when Emma woke up, he gave her a choice, either die or she will live with him forever

Illness? Is he dying?

Technically, yes

But he refused to have surgery, saying that the evil bloodline of the Obsidian family must end with him

He's coughing blood

Having seizures
