Honestly, I'm really tired seeing the people who keep only blaming Ercella. News flash people, child rearing should be done by the two parents, so no, Harsen definitely did not get the free pass for neglecting Ercella and being harsh to Vicente with the excuse of "having his duty as the Duke" and "just trying to educate his son". You idiots who keep only blaming Ercella SHOULD get your misogyny checked.
