The older brother is kinda psycho but wants to keep his little brother alive but the younger brother is like "this dude is after my life" like whaaaaa????? I think maybe the shift in the older brothers protectiveness might have something to do with the time helm was in an accident that made his eye almost (and probably is) blind
In my opinion Helm has every right to run from him. The way I see it, his brother is obsessed and possessive towards him, I wouldn't be surprised if he had some twisted romantic feelings as well. Helm doesn't seem to see it like this tho, and since his brother apparently never misses a chance to hurt him it's legit to think he wants to kill him.
Regardless, the brother is not sane in the head.
I feel slightly disatisfied with the female lead as a character. I understand she doesn't know much as a commoner knight captian with brutal strength in the middle of no where but i feel like her nievity is too strong when it comes to romantic topics. I wish the male lead had explained what going to the balcony had meant rather than seducing her because i feel what he did was taking advantage of her lack of understanding and thus she had no knowledge on how to respond to the princes advances. Had the Male Lead took into consideration that the Female Lead was new to high society and the customs of the party he would have had the decency to wait until she had more knowledge until approaching her. As it stands I feel slight contempt for this story.
I would sacrifice my firstborn to find out what happens with Moll and Erik
