Ok but even if they gave this whole monologue about the duke’s secret love or whatever it doesn’t change the fact that he never actually gave her love or showed her affection.
Dude trust me, some people are just assholes. They think them loving you is enough, when they don't realize that they aren't showing or expressing that affection in a way that the person they love can feel. It's like a high level narcism move
