Why can't Ian has a back bone when it comes to the ashole Cardinal, but has no problem having one with Sol? I just don't get. Ian needs to not listen to the asshole and go to Sol.
I can't wait till the asshole is dead and gone!!!
Because, Cardinal was the only one that accepted him and took him under his wing when he was a child. The emotional connection and complexity is very difficult and should not be viewed as black or white. Sol was someone he met during adulthood where his brain is fully developed, therefore he doesnt have any complex with Sol and doesnt have as much complications during arguments.
It's like how some people can be their original self with their partners or friends but not parents. Old memories crawl to guilt trip even for basic boundaries. Especially more strongly when the other party has did some manipulation.
Hope we see Ian escape that state.
Grooming. Cardinal was the first person that didn't curse and hate Ian for his power. He's also the one that got Ian out of the toxic and constant bullying he got when he was in the orphanage. The cardinal prob sponsored Ian and got him into the knights. Ian also has seen the Cardinal as his savior and patron from childhood to now. There's a deep rooted feeling of gratitude or being in debt to the cardinal. It's like problematic parents that undermine their kid and treat them bad but, because they weren't bad all the time and has raised and paid for the child tuition etc, the child is enable to cut ties easily.
As to why he can fully let go of the Cardinal and go to Sol, it's due to 1) Apart from the obvious lyng the Cardinal said of the affection for Ian, he (ian) never saw the cardinal bad side. On the contrary so far he has only seen the cardinal defend him in court, worry about him and lastly the cardinal's ulterior motive he just realized recently; 2) guilt.
It's also why Sol doesn't tell Ian, that the cardinal is bad etc because it will be hard to convince him. Ian needed to see himself that the Cardinal is bad to accept the truth. Not from Sol or a third party.
Thanks for all the replies.
