I feel bad for dekis :(( he knew of what was happening w/ the children but couldn’t take action because the solon family was deeply involved w the issue. So he ran away.
Im just saying that it’s hard to be whistleblower in a setting like that because it’s putting all the family at risk. At worst, all members of solon family wouldve been beheaded or atleast be imprisoned for life.
Medea was able to be a whistleblower because she had the support of that pyscho prince who was willing to do whatever it takes to bring down ducal families.
This is what sets the two siblings apart. Dekis was too ‘soft’ and kindhearted to be the family head. Medea is too ambitious and held grudges frighteningly so. Dekis really wasnt suited to be the successor of their duchy

i’m wishing.... IM REALLY WISHING MANHWA DOESNT STICK TO THE NOVEL IN TERMS OF THIS PARTICULAR SCENE.
Like, arthur rejects her but does admit that he has feelings and even kisses her, instructing her to wait for him (in the novel).
Even in the novel, arthur is stressed that he feels that way towards tess even though he IS an old man inside/mentally. He even starts making hypothesis that maybe it’s cuz of his teenage body’s hormones or sumthing is the reason why he’s attracted to tess.
Personally, im uncomfortable w/ the idea of them being in a relationship (and also flirting/romantic scenes) rn because of tess’ age. Just doesnt feel right man. Maybe if theyre in their mid 20s is when i’ll be aight w it.
But until then, all i see is an old man w/ an underage child

i cant do this. he persevered because of his little brother but hearing his little brother utter the words that he wish his older brother disappeared was the last straw.
It was hard enough to give up your dreams/passion, give up your ‘gf’, have a scandal wothin your school, bear the expectations and stress from your peers/parents/school. Now he had to hear what he was sacrificing wasnt enough from the person he took all this burden for. It makes it seems so hopeless.
I know he just a kid when he said that but ig he was more hurt because lil bro IS A KID— you know how they cant lie and are just brutally honest. It’s not his fault though, really. Had his brother been in a better head space with a mentally stable mind, he wouldve just ignored the ramblings of his lil bro and scolded his ass just like that.
