Monee and power solves all, the Earl knows the protagonist can offer what he wants he will strong arm everyone elseWasn't there some sort of discrimination against dark elves? They brought that up when he was purchasing her, but it never became part of the story.

Honestly the trauma seems non-existent, he just plainly didn't value his life it explains how fucked he was that his life revolved around a gameIs she there so the mc can just dunk on her?

I understand the in-game knowledge, but for the rest is like there's no lingering trauma anymore
