I get the amount of hate Cesare is getting, but it is literally his purpose to be this shitty and trashy. I am not one to say past trauma is an excuse for one’s current action, however, it does explain why he acts this way. He never got any love from his dad as a kid and was neglected due to being a “bastard” child. His mother only focused on how to make him the king and never really gave him the attention that a child should get. Of course he would become a terrible person when he was surrounded by terrible people. That just makes him all the more human and interesting. I genuinely feel bad for the situation he is in at times and sympathize with him. What he did to Ariadne in the previous life was truly horrible. Just like how he drove Ariadne to kill Alphonso in the previous life, he is driven to scheme terrible acts because of his mother, constantly feeling pressured to do things in order to achieve what she wishes. I am not taking sides or excusing the terrible acts of any character, but I am saying that I am drawn to Cesare’s character. I do think that Ariadne and Cesare are quite similar, both being bastard children and neglected by their parents, and both feeling pressured to do certain things in order to survive
