He’s the eldest son. Since the beginning of time everything revolves on patriarchy even today theres still subtle patriarchy.
Nah... on that timeline gramps had no other option. Shannet was in no condition because of her trash ex. Gallahan was ded. And the other son.. is so much of a shadow of Vieze that I don't even remember his name. The twins weren't in Lombardi iirc. Ballsac's sister was married off. Creni was too bullied and his older brother was as much as a shadow of Ballsac as his father is of Vieze. When he understood that Tia would be the best choice it was already way too late.
On the other hand... I do agree with that regarding current timeline. There's no way gramps doesn't know about his incompetence, greed and his preference for the Angenas after all this. I get that it's still his son... but a rotten root can fall a tree yk... He can't even be called an antagonist tbh... at most a villainous mob. I just hope he tries something stupid and gets disposed of soon.
One thing I wish we had was Florentia goint to the academy with Perez and the twins and building her prestige among same age peers too. I get shes mentally older and it's needed for business but... it kinda bothers me she doesn't have friends. Don't get me wrong... Clerivan is muah* chefs kiss and so is the info guild's leader... but... they are daddy material not friend material. TTATT
why is grandfather so soft with viesel, clearly he won’t do a good job at being head if being a step head wasn’t that good enough. i wonder why he even agreed to let him be head on the first timeline, so much of a figure head.
