He wanted a capable King that care for the country.
Caitel doesn't care about the country, he will leave it if he has the chance to, or after he killed Theoren.
Keeping Theoren was to keep Caitel on his toes.
Keeping Theoren alive was to keep Caitel on his toes.
What happened to Ria was unforeseen circumstances.
Tbh, I don't consider what Perdel did as betrayal.
But I thought caitel didn't even know that theoren is still alive?
Like he just know recently when ria was kidnapped
Caitel knew Theoren is alive, all this while he kept looking for him.
Try to read earlier chapter when Ria was 8 maybe, because Caitel and Perdel talked about this.
Can someone tell me again why perdel commit treason? And what more, using ria.
He himself said he didn't want to but in the end ria got kidnapped.
Like wtf perdel whatever ur reason is, caitel have treated u like his family and trusted you but what did u do to him? Endangering his one and only daughter? ?
It no wonder that val is angry, if sanse or Silvia ever knew, perdel is finished.
He will most likely get divorced and even disowned by his own child.
