Erica was genuinely in love with the CP, unfortunately he has the wrong idea of what love is. I blame his dad tbh. We see later on how the emperor fuels the idea that Erica is only bound by obligation and can leave him at any time when it no longer benefits her. So now, he has this obsession with keeping her bound to him by force if necessary. I can’t help but feel bad for the CP, it seems to me that he would have been a better leader had the emperor guided him properly. I’m all for a good redemption arc but we are way past that now.
