I still don't get what the ml did wrong people still coming at him for not saying what Yuri wanted to hear!! He didn't even pick a side jeez

True tho. Not to mention, he only knew Yuri for a little bit so he couldn’t really know if she would do something like that or not. It makes sense he didn’t back her up, but also like, he didn’t completely condemn her either.
Anyway, I just want the thing where he questions whether he’s gay lol(this is why I love gender bender series and I can only hope it happens cause it’s hilarious lol)

I think the passiveness is what hurt her, he was entitled to respond however he felt to but at the same time by not supporting her when she needed him. A friend to all is a friend to none. I don’t think he deserves the criticism he is receiving outside the universe but at the same time he still hurt Yuri, Lester (hopefully I’m getting his name right) is allowed to not forgive him for what happened because Yuri is his friend and he didn’t help her when she needed him. A relationship between Yuri and the Male lead could never work because he will always prioritize the Queen/Cecia, the same with him and Arsinoe.

Don’t worry lol, but I don’t see what he did as bad since it’s not like they had known each other for that long. If they had spent like month together, sure, but they didn’t know each other that well. Yes, it sucks that he didn’t support her since he’s the reason she was there in the first place, and we KNOW she wasn’t doing what she was accused of, but he doesn’t know what we know and he could only judge things based off of what he knew. He was still giving her the benefit of the doubt by not reprimanding her himself, but he couldn’t be fully sure and couldn’t blindly protect her(especially since people are already keeping a close eye on him and it may even affect the queen).

It’s think that’s too, it should be noted that Lester made his comment referring to all of the nobles that almost screwed Yuri over. The ML was just on the far spectrum of it, he remained impartial. He’s a good person and didn’t jump to conclusions when he didn’t have the necessary information, but he also didn’t help them (that much at least) either. I would still apply the logic a friend to all is a friend to none, he could have done more and he allowed the situation to continue by not helping Yuri in any meaningful ways but he wasn’t by any means the biggest offender. I would also say that Cecia should also be exempt from this, she could have been harsher but wasn’t and she’s also a busy woman. This was just one of the many many many she probably had that day, so she handled to the best of her ability that the time would allow for her to. Everyone else that knew the amount both Cecia and the ML did suck because they actively shunned Yuri and made her situation difficult.

My thing is that he gave her the benefit of the doubt by not reprimanding her but he couldn’t fully trust her either so he couldn’t actively help them. That’s why I think what he did was okay. You said that since he didn’t actively help them, that’s kind of why he’s at fault, but I don’t think so at all. If he helped them but they somehow did end up being the bad people in the situation, he would also be in a worse situation. I think it would’ve been best to stay neutral, especially if he wanted to help him. Again, he didn’t know Yuri that well so he could not predict what she would do. In all honesty, he had every right to condemn her but he didn’t even do hat, which is a good in my book(even if everyone hates him)

I think it’s fair to argue that because he brought her there though that he did have some responsibility over them. If he hadn’t brought Yuri there this wouldn’t have happened, therefore I think he is more at an obligation to have picked a side. He should have fully believed Yuri or condemned her, the fact he tried to do neither was him in a way trying to appeal to everyone to the best of his ability. That’s where my problem with his actions lie the most, how him being neutral still perpetuated a negative stigma about Yuri. Yuri was brought by him and is therefore a reflection of him, he should have chosen a side by either being disgusted with them or believing them fully. Him being neutral made Yuri have to slowly earn back the trust of the people working at the castle, she had to endure a scorn and shame from people for something she didn’t do. Cecia put into affect this but I think what I said before still applies.

I agree with you when you say he would be judged for siding with them if they were scummy but that’s a risk he had to take. He makes himself seem indecisive instead of neutral, and even though he wasn’t we’ve seen what rumors come of every little thing he does so it’s not unreasonable that this could spread (even if they don’t ever affect his standing in society). He should have picked a side because him not doing that made him do nothing with his position or influence when he himself brought this person here, he should have felt most compelled to pick a side out of anyone because it was his fault this happened. Also was he ever really in as nearly bad a position as Yuri? Cecia treats him like they’re siblings. This ML has had rumors of him being a pedophile by moms who want to marry their daughters off to him without any investigation, he’s untouchable. He should have used his position in society to say something on the situation because he has a responsibility to because Yuri was his guest.

I’m not talking about his standings when I had mentioned it earlier. As his standings can affect Cecia’s standings, which he values more than his own image. I don’t think he is obligated to pick a side like that. Because of the fact that he was the one that brought her there, I think he should more likely choose to believe her or stay neutral like he did. He didn’t forcefully drag her there either. It was her choice to accept his offer, which she did so she could advance her own career. He only gave her an opportunity. Again, he doesn’t know her true true personality so he wouldn’t have known whether she would be a person like that. However, he still gave her the benefit of the doubt. If he had condemned her too, her standings would’ve probably been worse off in actuality in my opinion. That’s why I don’t think he has an obligation to choose a side like that. His side will always be with his sister and he ‘ll probably always remain neutral as the people against her will probably find any way to try to hurt Cecia’s authority(even if it makes no sense).

Thank you lol, and yeah I agree. XD we agree to disagree and that’s an agreement of sorts lol. You also did well in my opinion and I’m glad you weren’t like those people that would start screaming if someone thinks different to you. Thank you for the civil conversation lol, it was pretty fun talking about this.
Lmao why did he stick his tongue out
