He's hateful in wanting to kill a loyal guy like Gideon for this, and perhaps the ML did kill her dad in their past life, but in the new life apparently the only one the ML did kill for sure was her aunt (as he had officially executed), and not the rest of her family, since the person who killed her father and uncles in this life is ultimately the one who set fire to the house. Yet.... that fire doesn't seem to have been the ML's doing, either, since in chapter 1 they show him looking at that fire and telling his soldiers it must be just a ploy from the FL's relatives distract them, in order to buy time to escape... (but we learned later on he was completely wrong at that time, because, aside from the FL, her father and uncles had all chosen not to escape from the burning house, and simply waited to die in there..). As for his motivations, I interpreted that he had wanted to kill everyone but her because he (mistakenly) thought she was the only innocent one in that family, believing her father and adult relatives had killed his father, leaving him an orphan, and that they had also tried to poison him (but he was also wrong on this two accounts, because that was only what the FL's family *LET* him believe; the FL's father never killed his dad, but *took the blame* for a certain someone else, and the FL's aunt never tried to poison him for real, she only gave him a non-lethal dose of poison mainly to convince him give up on being with the FL). In a way, it's sad how her family let the child ML believe the worst because they chose not to tell him the truth about his father (that he'd been secretly beaten and brainwashed since childhood to turn him into a bloodthirsty killer, by his own maternal family).
Hmm... I was contemplating on reading the story
Lol, we're mostly speculating and "fact-checking"because the story's so confusing
So recap
Ch 1 she killed herself so he could finish revenge, then for some odd reason she returned to the day she met him.
And I thought he hated her. Turns out he’s obsessed with her… not… not in a good way (normally I like possessive men, but only to a point) killing everyone around her didn’t help anything and killing this guy on the latest chapter… yeah… I don’t feel safe around him
But I think she gave away the plot, saying that the king would do ANYTHING to bring her back
I wonder if he turned back time to bring her to life, the cost his memories and her keeping hers (though maybe that was more a side affect, but for history not to repeat itself something g has to change) but maybe this happened again multiple times on repeat till something changed
I really don’t know if I like the ML, right now I can’t really sympathize with him (￣∇￣")
