i think he's still at fault... though him growing up like that most likely isn't since as a noble he was raised to prioritize what was best for their family instead of personal matters. it's kinda like rupard's case in a sense but for rupard he was raised in a relatively better environment and met noah way earlier
I get that the whole mother died because of no love thing is supposed to be tragic and traumatic, but while the father is not necessarily a good guy they both entered a political marriage. To me it just feels forced that he is the bad guy in a situation where no one was really at fault to begin with.
