I was really thinking for a moment what if Eustace falls for the guilt trip? (or even just pretends to fall for it to “investigate” Ellensia) And as tired as that thought made me, I kept reading.
Look, I don’t like Eustace. He did fuck up for both his bio daughter and adopted daughter. But credit where credit’s due, he’s finally woken up and understands that his grief/guilt isn’t an excuse. If he let the guilt trip affect his duties aa king, he really would be the kind of person Ellensia is describing.
