Hello once more
Again, easy chapter this time, though extremely funked up.
TLDR: Cameron has always been mentally unwell, Edgar's mom is living with rose colored glasses until forced otherwise, Edgar's dad is a bastard (like a shit person not a noble) and the maid does not get paid enough to deal with all this.

Cameron was born! His mother has died! He is obsessed with death and an absolute brat! Yay mental health issues that were never addressed! Also, he was ignored bc no one trusted his blood (like that is his to control)

Edgar's mother waited for years for his father to show up, and when he never did she hunted him down and asked for elope. She was excited for love, he was excited for the money, which is why he was dressed duper fancy despite being broke.

Once halfway gone, the mother realized that her son has been sold off and is heartbroken. The man she loved was not a good person, and she finally realized it too late.

The maid (also the narrator the last w chapters) actually says to the lady's gave "I am done, this is bullshit, and imma get home somehow. Good luck girlie pop have fun". Before she can leave, the mother gives her the locket she had made for Edgar. Says the maid needs to give it to him if they ever meet. Then she runs away, never to be seen or heard from again (imma assume she died, but up to interpretation).

After learning all this, instead of reacting like a sane person, Edgar is ecstatic, he is the emerald lover, he is who Cameron has been chasing now he can truly be loved and a part of a family.

Also side note. The reason he couldn't feel this way with June is because he is gay, but denied it for so long. Now that he's learned he is the cousin of Cameron, he feels that gives him permission to accept that part of himself (but only for Cameron, anyone else is indecent).

All in all, everyone is fucked
