Honestly I tear up sometimes because I am so frustrated, he didn't seriously value her until she got shot trying to protect him, he kept testing her to see what she would choose when she was threatened and said he'd send her away to a man who wanted to beat her even if he changed his mind later and she almost died with that crazy scientist guy, she's literally almost died so many times for him and there were times he didn't thank her or ask if she was okay. Yes he told her that if she said she didn't want to be sent to that guy whose sister was rejected hed stop it but in that time its the sevants duty to uphold their masters words which means not going back on them especially since that guy was of high status. Instead he didn't try to protect her from the guy until she nearly died protecting him. She's almost died so many times and honestly reading this sometimes can be so frustrating because I can only imagine what its like seeing a man you're slowly falling for going out and sleeping with all sorts of woman not caring and having to take their jealousy violently out on you for things that are out of your hands but completely because of him and being threatened and nearly murdered and the reason you survived was because you fought your heart out and ran for life then he eventually shows up to save you and its like ok thanks my white knight? No. I don't know. I understand the Duke doesn't have faith or much trust in others, but that doesn' mean continually almost sacrifice someone's life many times until you're finally lik ok they finally almost died again after so many times for my sake I guess now ill actually try to protect them from the harmful things they are going to keep going through because of me. Im sorry this is my opinion and I'm sure many disagree with me, but I don't think he can have any excuse for lindsy almost dying so many times for him before he finally decides he will put more effort into actually keeping her alive.
