Instead of just overthrowing the emperor or supporting an opposing faction, this duke went on a genocide towards an innocent tribe living in peace, and in the end didn’t even achieve his goal of “protecting Everdin” because the whole mansion is a ghost house and its honor and wealth to the mud. And now because he is about to become a loving daddy to MC who is likely a descendant of that tribe, all will be well and the honor of the family will be restored 😊 Don’t get me wrong the emperor is the greatest garbage in this whole thing but the duke was very much a willing accomplice. Despite his reservations (based on the narration, doesn’t seem like the emperor had anything against him other than “threat of treason”) he went with killing those innocent people in cold blood. This isn’t one of those “cold blooded duke who is a monster in the battlefield”. The tribe was not involved in any conflict, he just went full genocide because welp, the emperor said so and he didn’t even gain anything in the process. He didn’t even put up a resistance lmao just agreed with the genocide. No matter how much he puts on a kind daddy persona I can’t see him as anything but trash lmao

Just a casual genocide, NBD 😬

Yeah, the duke is trash. He’s a mass murderer. This might be one of those reads that is painful to get through due to how stupid everyone is.
