This is what I was talking about. I know it's not the focus of the story, so it doesn't really matter. But objectively speaking, he had a child for 10 years, who incidentally turned out not to be his biological child, but why should that matter? Are adopted children not to as valuable as biological ones? Is it the child's fault their biological parents are scumbags? The MC is supposed to be a good guy, so he had a child he raised and loved for 10 years. By turning back time, he deleted that child out of existence without thinking twice about it. Even if the minister of finance and the princess have sex again and make a child again, rationally speaking it won't be the same child. And even if it is, his relationship with that child, which he raised and loved for 10 years, is deleted. But nah, the bad guy is the biological father of the child, that means the child is worthless, so who cares? That's fucked up, bro.

It's been stated they were distant anyway, princess raised the kid pretty much without him and she was avoiding him for quite a while.
What other option was there, what part of time could save the situation?

Their marriage was fake, princess doesn't want his love neither romantic not sexual.
Now that he knows that the kid isn't his, he won't be a father in the fullest as it will remind him of the minister Marcoute NTRing him and attempt to execute Luca.

It's bad, but better kid not to exist in the first place then be raised in loveless home.

Even if his relationship with the princess was cold, if he's a decent man he should've tried to have a relationship with what he was convinced was his own son all this time. And after 10 years, if he finds out it's not his son, he should still fight to keep custody because it's effectively been his son (adopted or no) this whole time. If you let your personal resentment over having been cheated on by the mother and the identity of the biological father affect how you feel about the child, I think that's really shitty, because the child is innocent and has nothing to do with that. Inherited sin is bullshit.

And even if none of that were true, there's still no justification for killing an innocent child. I completely disagree that it's better for the kid not to exist. For one thing, even if the mom is a selfish cheater, she's still there to raise the kid, and I'm certain the child himself would prefer to continue to exist whether his family situation is ideal or not. It all just comes down to the fact that it's much more convenient for the protagonist himself if that child just disappears so he can continue fucking Luca without having to deal with a complicated family situation. It's quite a lot like those true crime family annihilator stories with the father murdering his whole family so he can start a new life with his lover, except this guy only killed his son and not the wife (and again, doesn't matter that they're not biologically related, he thought it was his son and the son considered him the father).

He found out it's not his son, he kept his memories.

The custody would be of princess, he was cast away as both unfaithful and traitor, only Luca self sacrifice kept him from execution, but it was just delayed until the minister would be nominated as the king.

In conclusion, dead can't care for living.

Wouldn't call killing if he didn't exist.

Correct. He has no attachment for his kid, and nobody including the kid will remember because from what it looks like, the timeline is erased anyway.
