Right?? I agree, without him the plot would kinda lack complexity imo. Getting us attached to the character in the S1 and using him as an antagonist later on makes the plot more unique and builds conflict quite well !! And weirdly its more realistic of an approach too, I doubt a nation would ever be at peace with the situation they had at hand- ngl this made it even more complicated, but that’s the fun part of it no?
The twist in the end of season two is unexpected but the king’s revelation about their father’s last words were so shocking for me. I cant wait for season 3
I actually don't hate the child king. I love all the main characters. They make the story interesting and complex. I wanted all to live and love but well, we have to wait to see the happy ending. I'm very excited about S3!
