Failure of expectations is something that happens even today.
A lot of relationships ending divorce because of that.
You hype someone up and then when tge perfect shows itself to have chinks in it you criticize them forgot living up to your expectations.
It's a human fault made worse because of the circumstances of the times and each person's political role.
The question is, what does he do with that information? Does he try to make it up to Vlad? Try to help him?
Or does he follow typical political roles and write him off as a lost cause and cut ties? Because it will hurt his political standing and endanger him to remain close?
Remember in a battle for a throne...the leader carries ALL of the lives under him that swore loyalty to him. Him endangering his political standing could get them all killed.
Heavy is head that wears the crown (even if it is just a lord's title).
Ugh, sounds typical of a Nobel. MC was a slum baby, better to never forget that and give leeway. But that’s expecting too much. Oh hey! If you read novel do you know MC real identity? You must right? So much made about his eye/hair color. You don’t have to spoil if you don’t wanna, just curious if he does have typical exceptional background.
My heart sunk I hope Joseph grows for the better Vlad was just doing the best he could, they all risked their lives and you’re upset with them?? Nobles do take time to learn common sense i guess…
