Tharin very much is aware that Thatdanai raised Khanin, loving him as his own son. And for Khanin, for 19 years he called Thatdanai father. Tharin is a stranger to this boy. They haven't had a relationship since Khanin was a year old.

At the end of the story, Khanin is free to go wherever he wants and be whoever he wants. He chooses to live with Thatdanai. To metaphorically rebuild the home they had together and that life they had as father/son.

HOWEVER, no matter who is on the throne or who rules what, Tharin genuinely and truly only cares about Khanin's wellbeing and happiness. He lost the will to live after his wife and son were killed, and having Khanin back is a miracle.

Tharin is very sincere in his love of Khanin, and Khanin comes to love his father as well, and to understand the pain he must have been going through all these years.

So Khanin is still very close with his biological father, and Tharin comes to see him as often as humanly possible. He wants to be involved in as much of Khanin's life as he can be, and he loves that Khanin calls both him and Thatdanai his fathers and treats them as equal in his heart.
