AHAHHAHAHA Rishar deflecting the emperor's actions will never not be funny to me.
Ugh but still.... I hate seeing him so much. At least the empress is an unapologetic villain... This guy? Thinks he's the most pitiful guy in the world and thinks his actions are justified. Let me remind you, this dude turned a blind eye when his siblings got murdered by her. He's only whining now because the empress's sight is on him.
He doesn't even tried to know his son, how dare he try to dictate what Ettiene feels for Rishar? If anyone who knows Ettiene best, it will be Rishar. He's still seeing Ettiene as the empress's pawn, that's why he can't even trust him 100% despite Rishar already vouching for him.
