I have read other stories like this before, in order for someone to actually leave, sometimes you have to shatter their heart for them to not come back. It’s a necessary evil and was actually very smart. In terms of whats right and wrong, obviously Khalid is going to feel bad about it, but Knox only wanted the best and knew that his father was mistreating him. Getting Khalid kicked out of the household was the only plan that would’ve worked, but it would’ve been useless if Knox didn’t shatter Khalid’s heart because he would’ve kept coming back. This creates misunderstandings, yes, but that can be fixed later through communication, what was important was that Khalid would be out of an abusive household. In no way does Knox deserve to be tortured just for making a smart decision for the sake of Khalid, and I will die on this hill. Reanalyze your stories, look deeper before making assumptions of what’s right and wrong.

That's stupid cause things would end differently if he does better or actually did something and not just cast him out. And you eat your words cause what Knox did bites him back. He shattered Khalid emotionally and acts like nothing happened then expect Khalid to not feel anything? Protecting him? A kid be kicked out to the street? That's protecting to you? You saw what happened to him while on the street, his letter torn, beaten up and got robbed. Mind you. That's a child. Not an 15 year or 18 year old.
Yes the father is a pedo but shouldn't it better to actually sent him to another household without shattering his dignity, ordering him to do something then accused as thief and got whipped.
Like if Knox explains the situation to Khalid and do better as he literally claims he's his "life" then this won't bite him back.
I said what I said. He deserve to be tortured. But I don't condone this rpe. Other ways are better. Tbh.

It's not simple though. After what Knox did to Khalid everything just went upside down for Khalid. While Knox lived his life. Yes unavoidable that his father's a pedo but the fact he already became a knight was hailed as a knight and still does nothing and only did something by the last moment only, he doesn't deserve punishment or retribution? He's not a bad person but he's not entirely innocent or good either.

he gave him a recommendation letter so he could get another job, if things went as planned he would have had a job. both made choices that don’t really make sense, but khalid abusing knox is not justified as all he was doing was trying to help, obviously he lived his life because what else would he do??? he assumed khalid was fine and just working somewhere else

He's very sheltered then, cause who's stupid enough to not secure the aftermath. If Knox claims Khalid is his life why let him fall and be beaten like that?
It's stupid of him to assume Khalid will be fine with a recommendation letter and a bag of gold on the street as a child with no protection of some sort.
Also the fact after being a knight the last resort he does was just give a note to the second prince and expect to not be part of the people who'll get punished when he himself bowed to the assassination of the king. He did nothing to seperate himself from his pedophile father and the empress's side.
Seriously? The MC is so fucking useless and btw I'm not saying he deserve to be rped but he deserve to be tortured. Like wtf is this set up of hurting the person who you also love. "Oh, I did this to protect you." Who asked you to do that or ever think what the other person might felt. I route for the ML Khalid deserves the world. Idc what y'all say.
