I feel like the only reason they're seemingly going this evil possession route is so that aerin will have opportunity to shine at the cost of havenik's redemption. Because havenik, based on what we've seen, def would've been able to smooth talk the nobles into buying which would've left aerin out of the equation too much.
Though it would be cool, if as a part of the redemption havenik chose to rely on his younger brother and aerin
Which I think could still happen

Tbh I don't think i hate eclis enough for the level of brutality. Like even his choice to bring Yvonne, potential brainwashing aside, seemed kinda immature (like cruel to penny but immature).
Like Eclis is clearly more crazy/immature than he is evil (at least is how I'm reading it) which doesn't absolve him but I wish this level of hate was directed at Derrick and the level of hate she sends to Derrick was to eclis lol
I always have to save this for last when I read updates bc idgAF about anything else after reading this. I love it sm
It's like a reward
