This is just my opinion don't be butt hurt
I think the author wrote the story well
The consequences of their ego made it all fucked up for them
And Heide kinda deserves what happened honestly cause Albert is not his friend for him to talk to him like that. Yes you respect your superior but there's a line yk. The king repeatedly forgave him before saying he's naive and young, and he gave several warning to Heide not to cross the line.
Well with my morally grey opinion, that situation happened because they're human. Human makes mistakes and it's ugly. Micheal can do a better job to push Albert away but I think he didn't because in the back of his mind he still loves Albert.
I bet my pinky finger nail that Albert didn't actually do anything more to Micheal when he's not in the right mind.
In the end, they both need to sit down and actually talk with each other lol. I hope the side stories will include this moments so that they can solve the misunderstanding between them. They will only hurt each other by lying to each other and themselves.
