Some of you guys aren’t catching the small details the author is putting in here. It was mentioned earlier in the story how varkas had been conditioned (brainwashed) from a young age by the temple to be unconditionally loyal to the royal family as well as basically erasing all emotion. In the recent chapters we can see when Thalia is yelling at varkas for not killing the guy who sa’d her, there’s like a crack or splint of some sort in his eye as it became sort of foggy whereas his pupil vanished, like something in his mind is stopping/ preventing him from saying or doing what he wants. Hence the brainwashing he was given before the late empress brought him in. I feel like there’s a lot more about him we have to uncover.
