I read upto ch. 23 and the dad just gets worse. At this point I kinda wanna snap his spine in two to get him back into his senses because how tf is someone who is meant to be emotionless so fucking emotional all the time??? Author doesn’t know what “sealing off your emotions” mean

Honestly the mom isn't entirely blameless either. She literally could have just told him she was cursed and they could have worked together to fix it or she would still die and he wouldn't hate his daughter(who he thinks isn't his because the mom told him she didn't love him and that's the only way dragons can get pregnant.) Moms at fault too for being stupid. Break his heart by dying? Nahhhhhhh
Break his heart by stomping on it.

Is he incapable of forming a complex thought? This is getting a bit ridiculous considering he’s the same guy who supposedly had a high-ranking as a knight. Unless that was solely because of his family.

Physical strength and strategic battle sense is different from emotional intelligence. He's skilled with everything outside of his damn emotions.
He's bright enough to do extensive research and make a detailed petition but when it comes to his own heart he's like a baby.
Maybe because kiel been by his side so naturally throughout his whole life even while exiled. He never really thought deeply about their relationship saw it as normal...
Abel is the inspiration to all those delulu girls with red flag boyfriends but we love him
