Kinda feel like Helios did the same too, he only apologised after his relationship with that crazy white lotus turned south and he started seeing what real love was through Hess's eyes. Only thing different is that he's not as dumb and as presumptuous as her and knows when to stop before it gets worst.
Do you know what chap of the novel is this latest chap from ?
He didn't stop though? Helios made a move during the time that Kael went to negotiate with another country. He just stop when he had to talked with his father again and before Hes and Kael went to north.
I love my wife like my life” this is what Kael said to Diana when she showed up unannounced to Kael and Hestia’s duchy, apologizing and weeping. He literally spat at her face, and blatantly showed her he has no interest in her whatsoever and that her apology is now bullshit to him bc he doesn’t care for her anymore. He even said to never show her face unannounced ever again or he’ll file a complaint towards the palace lmaoo SLAY KING. And this was after Kael basically exposed the temple right to her face during a cabinet meeting, and this was when her reputation started to go for worse bc the ship sank. She only apologized when her life was starting to severely go downhill smh.
