I really appreciate this chapter.
A spirit can't be held to the standards of a human. It is the embodiment of *something*, it has no humanity. Here, the spirit of light is a child with disturbingly narrow-minded loyalty. One who only understands the pain and happiness of one person.
Prince Cecil's lecture was very insightful as well. I think it comes off as a good lesson for children. "What you want may blind you to your future suffering. Your guardians/parents sometimes refuse you because it's good for you." His realizations about himself were rather spot-on, too. He 'understands' emotions somewhat now because of Bertia. However, that doesn't mean he's suddenly all shiny-new normal functioning human with all emotions intact. It really drives home the fact that otome game expectations in which a girl can change a broken love target into a perfectly loving existence in just a few years can be unrealistic. Heronia's expectations for fate put a lot of faith into that OP fixer-upper trope, and that alt future- Cecil's right, this current world is better, because it's made him further realize that he still has a way to go if he can.
