No one said he was innocent and he never said he was innocent, a character can change through the story, he also made it clear he didn’t want anything to do with him after getting hurt because of him. Also this is supposed to be an angst story and was never meant to have a good ending but bc of everyone hating on this ending, the author decided to continue, also I would hope that he wouldn’t be that quick to go back to him?? And taking Luan for granted?? How?

Yeah he didn't say he was innocent he was just acting like it (i never said he said it in the first place), but saying that hurtful shit in front of the fortune teller with luan in the room and underestimating luan's feeling as "being stuck in the past" does not make him any different from everyone doing the same to luan and treating him like a child like he does not have the maturity to love someone for 11 long years, luan has so many things to lose but does not care, and is actively sacrificing himself for him, i understand that luan did order for him to be beaten up but his reasoning was really valid considering people have been trying to take advantage of him since he was a child, and even tricked to being a count in promising that he would be with clauden, he messed up and he apologized and is doing everything to win him back, clauden's indifference is just dragging that one mistake for too long
Clauden pmo fr, at first i was at his side but to drag this for so long... it's understandable to doubt it but he's not any different from everyone taking luan for granted, he's apologized many times amd has been trying to prove himself to him, and for him to just dismiss his feelings as just a childhood memory and underestimating the years luan kept him in his heart FOR THAT LONG 11 WHOLE YEARS who tf would do that??? Clauden acting innocent but saying that really hurtful shit in front of him in the fortune telling is not innocent at all
