The Holy Grail of Eris - Vol. 12 Ch. 57 - Father and Daughter

[TheGodEmperor]

Actually the "no guarantee" part is why trolley problems are not really similar to real life problems.

Realistically, they didn't know for sure that even with her execution, they will be able to stay the general's execution without Faris successfully countering their efforts, or that it was impossible to save general without sacrificing Scarlet. Even now, the current state is that Faris is about to attack anyway, just decade later and with Adelbide's having better defense. Without Scarlet becoming haunting ghost, most probably all they would get would be getting annexed by Faris happening a decade later.

And there is of course no easy way to say how bad or not-so-bad would be being annexed by Faris. Could be bad, could be just fine for vast majority of the citizens. And Abelbide is not that great of a place anyway, what with all those corrupt nobles.

Wish more of these people got this. Adelbide is not at all a good country either. The king and this duke aren't doing it for "the good of the people" but for their own desire to maintain their power and status quo. It's a joke they use such a lie about it being for others. Fuck em.

reads comments before
Oh you sweet summer children.

Spoiler

Later both this and the bastard king want to behead Connie just like they did yo Scarlet.

Once again with the same excuse FOR MUH COUNTRY.

And they would have succeeded if not for Scarlet using her remaining life force to stop it.

So that's why I feel disgust whenever I read anyone showing any form of empathy towards the bastard that killed his daughter.
To me he's not sad that he lost wife and daughter, he's sad he got exposed and feeling the stares makes him uncomfortable. That's it.

Those two still stupid as ever, so I same with you. Can't forgive for both of them

Personally this take aren't really fair. You have the luxury of knowing the future, but for people who only know the story up until this chapter, this is just a father regretting his action, and got to talk with his daughter one last time.


Though i do agree with other comments that say the father is dumb. Since even though he knew Scarlet could be a liability, in the flashback there's no mention of him taking precaution so Scarlet doesn't get used politically, even though the flashback should be from his side.

While I wholeheartedly think Scarlet should be in charge and on top of everything, dad doing what he did is what his position demands from himself. If he ends up in the same situation, he should send yet another person to their death or Scarlet would've died in vain.

If you have dominion over a country, that responsibility comes before parenthood or personal affections. If he had been a layperson I'm sure he'd kill himself a thousand times before harming Scarlet in any way.

I feel his grief but I do not sympathize. Potential war or not there was another path. There were many paths. Most of them soaked in far more blood and required more skill but...
