This chapter made me so anxious because of how the previous one ended and I contemplated for a good long while whether I would read it or not. Glad I did or I would've postponed it for god knows how long.
That said, I don't know how to feel about Duke Nuremberg. On one hand, it's plain to see that the guy's on the good side of things and as all things go, would probably realize his mistakes some time in the future. On the other hand, I personally know parents who were and are in the same boat as he is and they're really--I pause to say this since it feels inadequate--harsh towards their real children. Most of the time, this is because they project themselves onto their children and expect them to share the responsibilities they'd taken on. It always pisses me off when I see them never change that attitude even after the years have passed. Almost as if they're waiting for the children to actually become what they insist they are or have been.
I don't really care for the Nuremberg's story, but if they're gonna be this deeply involved, I hope they resolve it soon. I dont care if things just work out; life gives me enough drama and plot twists to ensure my heart's always one scare away from exploding, so for the love of all that is good, I really hope that what Shuli said about Nora's more than enough for the Duke to reflect and change.
