Yes. Cael is not a vengeful person. We knew this from the get go. His way of “revenge” is being indifferent and nonchalant to those who caused him pain, and living a happy life with his beloved Hestia. He lets them deal with their own business. I genuinely cannot fathom how people thought he still loved Diana just because he didn’t want her *spoiler* deposed. So ridiculous. I can understand being upset that Diana didn’t get the suffering they wanted her to get, but will never understand thinking Cael still loves her.
I feel like people care about Hestia too much while disregarding Cael’s perspective. Hestia is doing this revenge for her own satisfaction and personal vendetta, and Cael is just going along with it. Cael is the one who’s the victim hereHe’s doing the bare minimum? He literally tried to kill himself and is still healing. They are the ones who drove HIM to the lowest of the lows, to the point he wanted to end his life. I really find it ridiculous to say he’s not trying, when he really is trying his best to heal for Hestia. I think he takes priority.
