nah, I need the duke to be dragged through the dirt and grow as person

And even then, I don't want his reward to be getting to marry Elna. I want Elna to be able to be at peace and find happiness with her new family.

But that trust thing, I will never be over. and the fact that he tried to her the most. He is petty and childish and that is way too fucked up a way to act as a grown man.

I need to see people tear into him.
I feel like he hasn't learned anything at all and still feels entitled to Elna.
