someone deep dive richard, psychologically not physically

As far as we know, he saw the potential for her to become a good dom for him. There might be more to it, but we don't know yet (i think)

Como nadie nunca le llevo la contraria y vio a todos como gente que podía manipular y maltratar sin tener que afrontar consecuencias ya que después de hacerlo nadie le llevaba la contraria, como en el ejemplo de capítulo pasado, creo que ver que alguien podría castigarlo o tratarlo mal sin miedo y disfrutándolo como ella lo hace, eso lo atrajo. No seria raro que esta teoría fuese cierta.

my personal take on this!!
we saw how he hurt people around him as a kid, tried to get things go his way, used his position to get away w stuff. and it all worked. he got away w so much stuff just because of his position, and he was very well aware of it. everyone was afraid of him. even if people from society didnt know he was "deranged" as they say, they all still kept their distance and acted as his "subjects". they all "submitted" to him out of respect, tradition, awe and fear. thats something that was naturally given to him, something he didnt want. when u put a person under the pressure and expectations, u have (most of the time) two common reactions. one will go along w it and crumble under it slowly, and the other will rebel against it and feel disgusted if u will. he is the latter. he was quite aware of his position from the very young age. he thinks anyone can do it and that he doesnt need to be THE one. he thinks little about status because all he has ever seen is fear and submission from people. well, he did do a LOT of stuff to cause fear.. but anyways, that was his way to show how power only comes w a last name, w status. no one dared to see him as something "lower", "dirty", "impure", to call him names. he grew up being seen as some beautiful, proper, higher being because he was a crown prince. i would say he longed for it the more he knew he wouldnt get it because of his tittle.
take on example Courtneys mother. she is greedy, she wants people to see her as someone w a higher position only because of her daughters marriage. but she will never be able to be that something she wants, her position doesnt allows it. her behavior only makes it worse. i see Richard and Courtneys mother as two opposite sides of the same coin. he wants to be something lesser and she wants to be something much more. neither of them can get it. Courtneys mother buys jewelry and dresses to "pretend" and to fit in higher class. while Richard can meet his needs through letting someone dominate over him. i would say there is something more about his situation, but at the same time, i feel like there is no need to add in anything. some people are just either born w a little bit of twisted mind or they get shaped eventually into it. as for why he likes Courtney, i feel like he liked/enjoyed how she didnt care where she was and could openly argue w her mother. she yelled at her pretty much, and at the time, people saw such behavior as "hysterical". not only did u need to be a proper lady but u also needed to show respect towards ur parents. and that scene probably lighted up hope in him that she wouldnt see him as his status only. he knew they would get there at some point probably LMFAO
i apologize for the yap, i hope i make sense maybe im overthinking it all but im genuinely not normal about them.. i start rubbing my hands like a fly whenever i see this manhwas notification..

OH MY GOD THATS SO MUCH MORE THAN I INTENDED TO WRITE IM SO SORRY I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE

He saw her beating up her brother once in a party and decided, "Oh, I want her — to treat me like that too!"
