Gulin said, “When the particular time arrives, the truth is spontaneously apparent. The sunlight does not wait for a fire to be warm. The moonlight does not wait for the breeze to be cool. The world is one rod wide, the ancient mirror is one rod wide, the stove is one rod wide. “Where the buddha-image is big there is much mud. Where the boats ride high the tide is in”.

Gulin (1262-1329)

Gulin held up his staff and said, “Right now old Shakyamuni is here on the end of my staff, emitting a great light and expounding great transcendent wisdom. “If there is one word or one phrase in this that does not extract the nails and pull out the wedges and dissolve the sticking points and remove the bonds for all of you, I vow not to achieve true enlightenment. “Even so, I have only said one half of it. What is the other half?” He planted his staff upright and said, "Heaven and earth are wide open.

As for the other part of your ask, I won't say anything about how Oren or Samira feel about MC living with the emperor or what he offered them in exchange for raising the MC , but I will say that MC is not going through all this heartbreak for nothing.

What do you mean with " MC is not going through all this heartbreak for nothing."? I mean it's obvious that for the story, the Emperor interests, and also MC's material confort, MC being raised at court is the best outcome. Even if you won't say what, are there other reasons for this "betrayal" is good? Except solidifying MC's abbandomnet issues

Hi Anon! For MC, growing up at court is obviously better for her material comforts, as you mention. There are other reason's that will be revealed. One comes up in chapter 3.

More poetically, if MC hadn't been taken in by the emperor, she never would have met any of the ROs. (Except if you met Lukyan and Tzesar before the emperor, but that would have been her only interaction with them.) I would say there is an element of "the trauma of my past is what led us to be together" that I would say makes it worth it.

If you're interested in some of the more specific story reason's I say that, it under the cut. I wouldn't say any of it is a major spoiler, but it is explained later if you'd rather wait.

The emperor bring MC to court is the only way MC could learn how to use her powers. When MC started having nightmares, Sam and Oren's first response was to make them stop even at the cost of blocking all of the benefits that come with Tempurion's power. When such things come to the attention of Emperor Konstantin and Grand Arcanist Gulin (in chapter 3), they go and find a Dragon Seeker to teach her how to control these powers.

More narratively, MC would not be in a position to impact any of the plot events if she had not been adopted by Lord Igor. Every plot event from chapter 3 onwards requires MC to be connected to the imperial family. In that sense, every way MC impacts the world for the better would be much more difficult, if not impossible without Emperor Konstantin and Lord Igor deciding to take her in.
