Dragging

The discrimination is UNREAL. Miss vanilla out here trying to make the poor man forgive and forget the people that MURDERED and FRAMED his mother and sister, when it's like how tf are you going to forgive someone that's not sorry? ML bitch needs to sit down and replace that OPness with some sense.

She didn't ask to "forgive and forget" them but rather to spare their lives and find another way to grieve other than revenge.

Revenge is clearly the unhealthy/worst possible choice considering that she already experienced the future where Linden heavily regretted killing his brother (or something along the lines where it didn't alleviate his grief at all).

So what you're saying is he should just leave them be? No justice for him, or his family?

What's the point of killing them if he's not going to feel good afterwards, what the FL trying to do is for the ML not to feel guilty as she already knows that he will not feel good even after having his revenge. The best way to solve this because realistically SL didn't do anything as well he's as well a victim of all this issue, no one will sit around to see someone kill his only family that he has left. The one who's really at fault here is the uncle, not even the SL mother who partially is at fault (she's basically did almost the same as the FL first life) but the uncle and the mother doesn't understand that the ML's mother and daughter are not at fault for being loved. Anyways too much text here ;-; I shall just say that dead will not remove the pain he suffered ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

Death*

You can't say SL is victim, he might be but for his own choices. He is the one protecting and siding with criminals even after knowing the crimes were shamefully committed. If they are his family than Crown price is also his half-brother and victim on top that. Here the ridiculous thing is they never thought of apologizing and are the first one to attack to kill Crown price. Killing his innocent mother and sister wasn't enough? How can anyone justify a crime with another. I agree revenge might be a bad idea, but justice needs to serve one way or another. Supporting and hiding criminals are also crime. Handling them lawfully is direct and fairly judged option. When crown price becomes king, he will surely punish SL's mother and whoever was involved- chapter closed. There is no need of involving SL if they do everything by law.

I littleraly love you for this.

The point is justice. Think of it like a blm protest. A girl's brother killed her black boyfriend clearly out of spite, and although they are family and love each other her boyfriend deserves justice and her brother does not deserve to be freely roam around as murderer with no penalties whatsoever ESPECIALLY when he's not sorry, and in our case they're not. (Also the SL cannot be considered the victim when he is the one helping and hiding away the criminals in the first place, which also makes him an accomplice. If I am being honest I hate everyone in this novel except ML because all he cares about is letting his family rest peacefully (and the FML ofc) )

Love you too buddy. loved your thoughts, I hope the author take some smart way out of this. Sending virtual hugsヾ(☆▽☆)

Sparing their lives ≠ no justice

As Elise is thinking, there may be a better way for him to cope/get his revenge other than exacting death upon them (especially his brother). In the end, all it did was cause him another deal of regret and suffering, and it didn't seem like he was freed from his past after killing his brother in the previous timelines.

For example, there could be the complete stripping of authority and title, banishment and exile, imprisonment— there's plenty of ways to get justice without automatically resulting to the ultimatum of death (in this context, mind you).

Of course, if this wasn't a time-traveling story, Elise would seem really insensitive for suggesting such a thing to Linden. Common sense and courtesy dictates that you wouldn't normally say that to a person, especially to a loved one who is greatly burdened with it.
BUT taking into consideration, and I will reiterate, that Elise had already been in the ill-fated future before, she knows that it wasn't the better call to make to kill them as revenge. That's why she's trying to stall for time and avoid the worst-case scenario (with the bleak future happening all over again), even if it meant that she'd lose his trust.

Of course. Killing them isn't necessary but sparing them in any way SHOULD NOT be an option of elise. They are murderers there for they need to pay a price with or without their lives.

Yeah, as you said, so basically they CAN pay the price without being killed. In addition to the examples I gave before, there's some other modes of punishment: forced labor, torture, lifetime commitment to community service, sworn allegiance/oath— if we think about it (albeit extremely), there could be plenty of ways to make them suffer for a long time, and that'd possibly be way better than a quick death.

Given that Linden is good-natured deep inside, it would just terribly weigh down on his conscience to kill his brother even if he was affiliated with those who killed his family, and cooperated with them (though reluctantly). Elise knew this full well— she lived through that timeline after all. Sure, it might've given him satisfaction after killing them for revenge, but that was just temporary— the long term guilt was an added burden to Linden. It was pure agony for him to realize what he had done, and the Elise from before couldn't help Linden with it, but now she can.

Elise wanted to avoid that, as she believed there could he a better way to resolve this issue— to settle it without bloodshed, be it forcing Michael's faction to apologize and atone for the rest of their lives, or some other pacifist way.

So, yes, put it simply, it definitely is an option of Elise. That's simply who she is.
