Even if he did not love kiera's mom he can atlest talk to her formulary about her progress but NO.
If my enemy came to me more then 4 times all cute and sencerly, asking for love i will give them my not so sencer but some kind a gift or a little conversation.
But this guy (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ so inhuman man, he kept seeing her very day (/TДT)/ and ignoring her, like if he didn't see her at all then u can like ferget about her but this guy (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Yooo I've been thinking about that moment too. What if the blond haired guy was her brother noh? Kinda far fetched but its making me tear up that he loves his sister so much he'll go to the length
Also I dont remember what the color of the mage she about to meet but what if it's probably him too? ( I dont know how the ended up meeting in the previous lofr tho)

I think the author really messed up by portraying how he felt towards her. It is understandable him not showing affection because he was raised like that, this is a historical comic so it’s obvious that one character or 2 would be like this. “Family honor above all”, and that’s kinda of understandable giving the context of the comic. But, why he showed affection to Fake Cosette then??? It was because she resemble his former wife? It’s because he thought god gave him another chance to be a good parent? Life gave him another chance by taking care of his lover that was coldly killed by his wife family and after seeing her he resented? The justification doesn’t make sense, at all. I really hope they explain this better, and make him resent what he did, because in the comic he clearly cherish his daughter but just doesn’t know how to express himself.

This made me remember that one comic about that White Haired Girl getting raped and killed by her Blue haired husband that was actually in the influence of a drug but apparently I couldn't see it like that because the artist wasnt able to express it. And that the day of her execution it said that in the book he looked regretful and like stricken(?) Because he was still influenced by a drug. But in the webtoon he was smiling and look anything but regretful.
But yh it dont make sense how he could show affection to her other 'daughter' when he was neglectful with Kiera. I'm also wondering how he treated his youngest son, cuz if it was the same maybe Cosette really had something different or he's really just a total bitch of a father (HE IS A TOTAL BITCH OF A FATHER) but if he wasnt neglectful of his son but was only ever neglectful to his wonderful daughter (Kiera) than this some personal petty shit (cuz no matter what, she was your daughter you trashy ass lemon looking head)

Ya sis he showed too much affection for cosette that it seem tooOoOoO weird and something not right? Like how much blind can u be, treat a cutie pie honey bun with no with no experience of outside world and very obedient to u even though u 200% ignore like trash and treat a dam 20 something lady who came out of nowhere like a new born cat . even tho she resumbles his lover, it's been more than 25 years! how can ur love stay that long ? . . . i just don't understand even if u don't fall for others ur love fades unless u supernatural or something (like tomoe) but he HUMAN! LOVE WILL FaDe!!

Apparently, he didn’t give shit abt his son as well. I think the author just put a setting to start the novel, and didn’t explained why he did it, why the father was like that and the backstory of the father. I’m honestly a very meticulous person, so I do want to know about his side of the story as well, because it’s so ridiculous “I let my daughter get killed because it’s just the way I am” like??? If they explained like they did in the comic, or should I say they TRIED to explain, it would be awesome. I wouldn’t hate someone because he was raised in a toxic household and that’s why he let his wife and daughter be murdered, because he was “raised” to think that “The grand duke can’t show affection, the grand duke can’t interfere in things that are not related to our household” and so on. And, it does not make sense if he knew about cossete being fake then why???? Because AGAIN, in the comic literally wants his daughter affection back, so wtf happened then???? If there is something that I hate the most is garbage setting that are just there for the sake of the story...
Ok so the justification of the Duke not giving parental affection to his daughter was because he was raised that way?
*inhales*
JFJSKDNWKSKAK I- WHAT?!
Truthfully I could not understand that because he lived his life and became an adult and didnt come to an understanding???? Especially when his daughter tried so hard???
Not to mention the execution one was really out of hand. If he thought she was not the daughter he could've banished of if he truly didnt care. I just dont understand bruh.
Conclusion. I need him begging for forgiveness. I wanna read an explicit and detailed way he felt her sadness, hurt, betrayal and anguish when he woke up from his fucking 'dream'
Idc if he was tricked by that blond haired bitch. He was a shitty father before that.
My girl better not have a an ounce of emotion for that man until we see him raising a country with his bare hands to ask for forgiveness. I want that man to feel so much pain I could feel it thru the screen. I want her to smile and everyone and everything but give him the coldest, meanest and deadliest glare to him. I want him broke down to pieces and maybe be then THEN I can see a development
(Its probably bcuz its 2am that I'm getting crazy. Point is, fuck the father, fuck that bitch. Horray for my girl. I love her bro. Sir knight too. Please be best friends with her imperial princess.)
