what was the point of him trying to stop her from going ? his ship wasnt there so theres no way to fight back, he and everyone else would have been killed, it was the right choice to only let one person go, this way the slaves, crew and lower nobels can stay alive , but i guess this doenst matter once his favorite girl is in dager, turn your brain off and fuck everything and everyone just so you can look cool
edit: while writing this i suddenly thought of "pitch meeting" from youtube, he would say : "just needs to happen so i can push the story forward"
