Or, hear me out, it is his fault for slacking on his training. Dud has been called a hero and it's gone to his head. The chump just believed he could swing his sword and all was good. He ignored anything that required actual thought and this is the result.

As a result of his willful naivety and ignorance, his mental and magical resistances are weak, and lack of training has made him an easy target for those that would use him as a cats paw.

So yes while he was used by the Saintess as a pawn, it is a weakness completely of his own making. True there is no guarantee he could have resisted her simple manipulations, but his utter disregard for anything other then swinging his sword made her ploy all the more easy.
status resistance can be increased by training. Like MC skill Absolute evil make others see he as evil and menacing but if you train you magical resistance and control, you are immune to fear effect.

hero lack of training and stupid make it easier to incite and manipulated. someone smart would realize that something going on right away and tried to suppress that's feeling.

So the father got the boot, and she's now the head of the family?
She's had it tough, but looks like her patience was rewarded. :meguu:

Honestly, I was expecting MC to demand she become his maid, as a means of protecting her, and humiliating the family, but this works too.

Fucking dropped. How I hate this shit of talentless authors who say, "I'm writing a story about a villain, so all the characters who should have been good are actually bad. I'm so smart."

While the comically evil "Good Characters" trope is kind of too common and start to become rather lame nowadays, the story with Alicia refusing the easy offering from MC and try take the responsibility for herself is pretty neat. In a sense, it's a way of proving to her abusive dad, and "Hero" that she's a capable responsible person.

That being said, hopefully, the trope and such don't end up dragging the story down, cause a lot of series fallen for those kind of mistake.

I forgot why the hero thinks of the Ark household as evil. Man, Alicia got beaten up. Father deserved being removed. Mwahahaha. She should have taken it but I guess it is in her good/selfless nature not to.

I would be surprised if it is even possible to "train mental brainwashing magic resistance", but even assuming it is, would that not be the responsibility of the ones in charge of his training? Like, that is surely one of the very first things you teach to a political target in a world that has such magic used so rampantly it even appears in noble schools? Before any martial training whatsoever?
And if we assume the saintess is just that good that he had training but she overcame it, then it is again not his fault because a hero who only ever spends upping their brainwashing resistance is utterly useless. And once they reached an acceptable metric, then they should dedicate their training to more martial fields, and instead be protected from the exceptions in other ways.
