@TheReader. 25 Most of those scheming nobles don’t care a fuck about their children’s happiness. They grow with only duties and to serve the clan. Thy usually think the harsher the education, the stronger they become (which is usually the case, provided they don’t break before. The same way poor people growing from the ditch mature very fast to survive, actually).
Of course, it doesn’t mean they won’t seek their own happiness once they grow up and get free from their parent’s grasp, but they still stay bound by their clan, their ruler, and the society in general. That’s why it takes a very strong will for them to be able to think about their vassals and the people’s well being before their own, because it’s just another kind of harsh struggle for life despite the money and apparent freedom. Also, some might find happiness in twisted and cruel hobbies… 🙁
Being nice doesn’t always cut it. FL just pulled him from the pit only for him to be kicked back in, but well in this case slapped back in again. If it’s just for show then still bad but if it is really the dad being like that then the boy is better off getting what he could and find happiness elsewhere.
