If this turns into love I swear it’ll be the most surprising thing ever
His son is so cute tho even though yknow // THIS BASTARD TRICKED US ALL…it’s not his biological son because it’s the pope’s but his sister wanted the now pope to achieve greatness and power as a way to protect him she lied and the kid is now the dukes and is a bastard but won’t be considered one because if blood relatives have one together (going to say it is his) it will be legitimate plus popes can’t have children or be married also the king rn (red head) is their half sibling and going to war bc he likes his half sister but couldn’t have her and thought the duke did because of the son
Also I love how he said “I love and cherish my sister, but I’ve never looked at her beyond that.” Confirms he doesn’t like her in that way at all and shows how much he’d do for her if she asks because he does love her
When he said they’re infertile I knew he was talking about Illic’s ass mhm mhm mhm
Not that being the end then we get a side story like damn he just knocked him out but ilic is right that kiss was outta pocket
Side - nah the fact he suffers from voices bc his family had incestuous relationships and now all he wants to do is protect his sister even from their half brother carmide (he has the curse too) also their brother killing their mother (same father but diff mom from carmide) is ducked up but he kept it a secret from iss when he found out
Damn reading the sides I can’t help but like the duke more and he did fall for Illic honestly
Plaything
