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

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’.
Those previous huangfu royalty brothers look familiar.
Aren’t they from that manhwa where pink haired fl levels up to become ‘prettier’ and powerful while world hopping? (Quick transmigration genre) idk I haven’t read it in years. She was called Xia something
Just looked it up. It’s called Goddess Creation System
The two guys are from one of the many worlds, each world/arc usually has a different cover, it just so happens the cover used on this site is the one with the two brother there.
I went back to skim read Goddess Creation System and I’m certain it’s them, even the ‘former crown price’ is there, his shadow was shown in this manhwa, he has white hair and a red mark on his forehead. They were all capture targets for Xiaxi the FL.
