Right, blind loyalty is actually a disservice to your liege. If the king doesn't have anyone who can tell him to pump the brakes, then what stops him from becoming a tyrant? Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Every leader needs checks and balances. The duke failed his king in the name of "chivalry".
Exactly. He should have, in fact he DID know, that something was up. Yet he made absolutely no effort whatsoever to investigate why things were awry, despite the fact it is literally his job. That isn't loyalty.
he already saw his old pupil controlling prince ... but bcoz he didnt want to become like his pupil .. he became useless .. that came to bite him back
Discernment is a virtue. One he lacked
He's the epitome of a noble, thousands of people will lose their lives because of his abstract ideal of loyalty. He's saying he's doing this for the kingdom but are the knights not citizens? McClain people? His student? His side was right the kingdom is not just the royal family. Because of his guilt to some dead dude people are dying, also the king is sus what the fuck is wrong with his genes man?
Fuck the old man, trying to kill a boy young enough to be your son, who's your disciple, who saved the kingdom, who named your daughter btw. Asshole
