Guilt, him just being a brother and just him being utterly ignorant of Penelope situation and feelings bc of outside forces too. Yvonne going all sentimental and saying she remembers him and she forgives him, def made him think "Yup, this is my sister. She should be allowed to enjoy the party too. She won't do harm. This time I'll won't leave her side and lose her... Penelope will understand...."
Derek is not utterly stupid btw *SPOILERS* Yvonne is doing some brainwashing that enhance certain feelings and reduce common sense. Like when people act recklessly. For example, Eclis (knight/slave) she enhanced possessiveness and jealously thus he didn't even think of Penelope's feelings. Basically if he was in the right mind and not influenced he would have double checked and remember entering with Yvonne in a formal gathering is basically confirming to everyone that Yvonne is the missing sister despite it is not certain yet. The dad wanted to double check bc you can't simply trust Yvonne's words.
At first I was okay with their story, a little basic compared to the first couple but now I just feel uninterested. I loved Bora but this part meh, I don’t like her that much now.
The tension rising gradually in this chapter, it’s incredible !
But WHY THE FUCK WOULD DEREK DO THAT WHYYYYY
He's probably brainwashed, but even so, HE'S A FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS EVEN BEFORE YVONNE
