The second prince does confuse me I will not lie but he’s dead set on saving his, I assume, lover, Lamia, and will go through any means possible even if it’s to break his own morals and ruin his reputation. If that’s how this story flows then his actions are, perhaps not completely, justifiable, but it makes sense as he’s made so many attempts to save Lamia that at this point, he knows what he needs to stop to and how to save her.
The romance may be a little pushed in this story of magical demising adventure but at the same time, love of any and every type is inevitable. Perhaps it’s a little stretched but it’s a way to relieve the heaviness of the plot next to the comedy and the regular “lovers” quarrel between Vanitas and Noē.
