Agreed but I think it's more like all the people he's going after now were actually involved in setting up the mcs father so they could deflect from themselves and now he's wedding out the real traitors and snakes
Yes, I agree. That sounds very likely.
Interesting theory… maybe he has a plot to demote the king while doing the dark things the king ask of him. Anyhow he is an impetuous man.
Why am I so sure he's not as evil as he's being made out to be? I'm completely convinced that what the mc doesn't know is that Mr. Smexy-scars is actually a really good person. That he's trying to take out a totally evil, tyrannical Emperor from the inside.
Hear me out: He killed traitors but it was him because of anyone else did it there wouldn't be any surviving family members. MC would have died if someone actually evil had rolled in. Scars McHotness not only didn't kill him, he's working behind the scenes to make it so less people have to die in the future.
Basically, he took on being the bad guy so not only others wouldn't have to be forced to kill, but so it isn't given to someone who takes their power for granted and becomes a psychotic, sadistic, murder hobo of a right hand man for an evil king.
This is just assumption from the the little bits of his job we've actually seen Scarface's actually hot brother from another mother.
