the duke: He was a man forced to commit genocide, forced or not, he did it. I don’t like nor sympathise with him but I understand him, he had two choices: massacre the Moira clan or have his whole family and vessels be executed for treason. He naturally chose HIS lesser evil for him(I argue it was NOT a lesser evil). He’s inherently a kind person forced to do evil but that doesn’t erase his doings. But I do hope the curse breaks for the sake of FL who is likely the clan’s descendent, I’m sure they wouldn’t like their little one to have a difficult life, he should contribute the rest of his life for the sake of reviving the clan with FL as ‘atonement’.
Ik we were being tricked by his sweet behaviour there was some thingS off about him since the start.
I don't know how he could've made things any more obvious: a sociopath with OCD
The hunger for control over every aspect of his "wounded creature's" existence and the narcissism to believe it was for the creature's best: bro gaslit himself into thinking he's taking care of her
The fact that he was giving "gonna lock you up" ex boyfriend energy from the get go was the telltale sign of him being cuckoo in the head, pun intended
