It saddens me that Arcella was brought to tears when the man instilled hope in her. How all of that was just the bare minimum and Harsen didn't even do any of that for her.

Yes it truly is sad, i teared up in this chapter. At first, I was conflicted since Harsen seemed to have actual feelings for Arcella but was hurt by her words of him being her "best choice" and that he just doesn't know how to approach her and all but after this chapter I immediately lost all reason to side with him. Because although Harsen has reasons to his actions, they dont and will never justify what he did, taking note that his actions influenced how other people treated her later on. She suffered so much and deserves so much better..

I'm still a bit furious on how Arcella practically told him her vulnerabilities, her depression and her struggles but Harsen just fixated on the words "best choice" and even got angry at her?
No guilt, no remorse, no concerns, not even pity. No wonder he's stuck with being the 'best choice' when you act like that.

So truuue.
The more add fhis fathers ignorance abt son. I mean... he saif to her that she could not take care of his son, while what he is now doing is the same thing. He does not care abt his son. I bet he even in the past did not care abt him much and just leaved everything to servants and looked at him as a tool and now making use of his son to push the mother. Additionally, he, himself just do not want to accept the fact that he actually CHOOSE HIS PARTNER, even though he know that neutrality would be at stake, WHILE, NOW HE IS NOT LEAVING AAAAANY CHOICE FOR HIS SON. He is sooooo....fcking...weakling....making his oh so dear wife to struggle.... He trully did not at once understand her, and when there were depression, even though he knew in that condition little thing u can done to make feel better, he still did not at LEAAAAAST suspect himself...what a fool....and now he blame her for DEPRESSION bc, she could not look after her son and HE KNOW THAT IT BC DEPRESSION BUUUT STIIIL BLAME HER.....what a...

Y'ALL IS HE OKAY??? I'm genuinely concerned because his actions after Nevea left him is just so stupid and so dumb of him. How conceited can you be to think that a person wouldn't get sick of you when you treat them like utmost trash?
Even if he (hopefully) might not be the ML, I never wanna see him again for the whole story after the next chapter
Lady Eustace was insulting Neveah right in front of Wistrash's face and the only thing he did was thinking of helping her sabotage the wedding???????
Are you really truly regretful and apologetic of your actions???
Yeah. I dont think he actually love her.
I thought the same thing and was getting so upset at him for not defending her smh
What’s really bad is that he was literally JUST called out by the ML for this exact thing before Eustace came up to him. He’s too concerned over “being nice” to others to protect his reputation that he’s just cool with her being harassed. Also now that he wants her back, her being isolated from society is the perfect way to cage her up and stay with him. It’s really disgusting
