I feel a little bit bad for him tbh. He was stupid for abandoning Kaelus and thinking just him being happy was enough - like how exactly would this make Kaelus feel better? Don't just assume things like that, dumbass prince.
But he's still been working hard for the empire and even for Diana. He had no idea she was such a snakey fuckup. I wish he had found someone better for him, who hadn't forced him to compete and break up with his best friend, who could be pragmatic and sincere.
I can't blame him for falling for Hestia either lmao. Wouldn't we all? She's wonderful. It's fine as long as he doesn't interfere with them - and based on his own shame about it, I assume he won't. Rather, isn't this good karmic justice? Now he gets to feel what it's like to lose his love to his best friend.
