Last time they spoke about it, Crochetta honestly admitted she doesn't know if she loves Roger yet, because she's so broken inside. But she permitted him to show affection for her even then, so Roger did and they slept together and stuff. But the last they spoke about it, Crochetta still hadn't confirmed anything and Roger has been sitting cooped up in the dungeons with only himself and his own thoughts. And hearing the rumors of her running off with the duke, and remembering how she's also slept with the duke previously, he honestly doesn't know if she just treated him as a rebound and got back together with the duke. So when the duke talks about how he'll ofc need to take responsibility for Crochetta, Roger's mind is spiralling again. However Crochetta won't let this phase last for too long so dw.
didn't we establish that they loved each other chapters ago when they both escaped? Or am I just remembering wrong?
