What I don’t get is why the red-head is still giving 2nd ML vibes when he should be at the centre of her revenge for having done most of the damage. Forget her sister, she didn’t have mind-control powers, that man had her eating out of the palm of his hand all the while abusing her of his own will. He’s still a terrible person in this life too, especially to women. Is the price of that revenge too high? Aiding Alonzo in becoming king might circumvent the terrible price but it feels more like a form of atonement for her past deeds than revenge. We have him spinning her around on the dance for acting like a jealous lover, almost a ML competitor. Yes, he turned away her sister but so what? He hasn’t done enough to show he even deserves her mercy. To be clear, it’s not the fact that she hasn’t gotten revenge yet that bugs me, I’m more bothered by the way he’s being treated. The story set him up as this disgusting asshole, why are we backtracking? I stayed for the revenge, now that the sister is sort of irrelevant, are we going to get it? (I’m just venting but spoilers are welcome!!)
