finally..someone who understands what he's actually feeling (▰˘◡˘▰) ppl keep portraying him as a bully and dislikable for not treating the original queen better. honestly, they don't understand that when someone has trauma, they tend to avoid what gave them the trauma. so it's understandable that he didn't want any unnecessary contact the original fl. plus it was quite obvious that she was doing anything to get his majesty's attention, even to the point of doing horrible things..so i totally agree with you (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
He was clearly either emotionally abused or raped/sexually assaulted by the first queen, ofc he isnt interested in having sex with her(our FL), or growing fond of her.
He doesn't like women at all, so it isn't like he's singling her out, not to mention FL's original self was a terrible person anyway and it's reasonable to suspect her sudden "change." (she literally poisoned herself intentionally once before her actual death just to garner attention.)
He's in the wrong for how he ignored Blanche, but at the same time, people rarely complain about that when the kid is a male heir and it's presented as normal within the story's world. It's neglect; but it also clearly stems from his trauma, and he trusted that Blanche's *aunt* would be an adequate nanny (our FL is from the modern day, thats the only reason Blanche's malnourishment was noticed, if she wasn't affected by modern day ideals she likely would have agreed with the standards of the aunt, considering other girls Blanche's age are also dieting and such; it's the norm in this world-not that that makes it right, but it does partially explain his "neglect".)
Idk, I dont understand the hate for him. I mean, I'd prefer mirror-man became the ML, but that doesnt mean I dislike our daddy either.
