Right?!
It part of the reason why I dislike the Countess Asar & Duke Kyrimov (did I get the parents' name right?) so much
.....and more than that, it would seem that even Zedgar's pitiful vie for respect & attention was part of the Countess' plans to wrench power from the Mayee
Honestly, I think the Countess & Duke Mayee are two sides of the same coin. Kinda like Coin & Snow
Yee, that's why I've always thought the countess and the duke were always terrible parents. The countess for exploiting the affection and the duke who ended up hating his own child due to his own trauma from his family.
Relationship goals but I'd never want to be their kid. I'd kms having parents like that.
I dont like either of them that much to be honest. I think she is not even capable of affection, she just sees everybody as a piece on a cheeseboard.
Same, it just drives me mad that they are responsible for this but dont take any of the blame.
Oh definitely. She would drop the count instantly if he became useless to her lol
He’s a simp but I don’t think she loves him more than how you love a cute pet tbh.
I got the exact same vibe.
I understand the motive behind framing Zedgar to kill the grandson ( forgot his name), but at the same time, I cant help but feel sad for him. He grew up as the oldest and saw how everybody in his life got treated with more love and affection by his own father (even Pavel who doesnt have any blood to share with the duke). He got pushed aside and isolated. Maybe if Pavel tried to form a bond with his brother, none of this would have happened. In my eyes, Zedgar is just an abandoned child that just wants to be part of something. He is shy, not so bright and responses with a cold attitude and words when he feels threatened. He does bad things just so he can get some attention back from his parents, mainly his own father ( since he is scared of his stepmother). If i grew up the same as he did, I think I would have killed my brother too, but not for the money or fame, just to feel my father suffer just a part of what I felt like in that family. I dont see Zedgar as an evil person that needs divine punishment, he just wanted his father to love him too. The duke should be help responsible for how his child turned up and should share some of the punishment.
