Unexcusable first of all they are not physically able to handle the situation they were abused ever since they were brought into that world by their mother that's mentally messed up and damaged they weren't even adults when they were killed they were still 18 they weren't mentally ready to be capable of being adult they didn't even go out into the world. Photos don't like to say that no matter what age you are abuse will still hurt you no matter what age you are you will still get hurt. And not to mention that it was children listen I know they have the capability and mentally 18-year-old but they are what can a child do against twice their size beating them abusing them they're not strong enough to do anything they can't get out of the situation because their parental provider is the only person that had no one else was able to be there so they sat through five years of abuse there's no changing that they were hurt they were children and they weren't able to protect themselves their mental capability had nothing to do with this abuse is abuse it will hurt it will be painful and it will mentally mess you up as well as physically.
I get that the kids are traumatized for 5 years but their are evidence to why they were abandoned and it is said right in front of their face. They have a mindset of an adult so they should know that the emperor had no choice and if they were place in the emperor's situation, they would have done the same or maybe a little different but the result won't be any better. If it were a mindset of a child then I would understand them having a hard time understanding.
Don't even try to use the excuse of them being abused for five years when they have a mindset of an adult. If u still think that they act like that because they were abused then that means the mc are down right too stupid. Adults can also be stupid at times so don't take it to heart. It's just like how the kids are too trusting of the Duke. Normal abused kids would normally be cautious of others but the kids choose to trust out of all people, the Duke. If u still think it's not then I don't know how you would define the word stupid.
*sigh, this story is so dam frustrating
