I don't understand how authors expect us to believe every fictional dipshit ever doesn't understand this basic fucking rule: If your enemy is telling you something you want to hear, don't fucking listen. Even if it's true, it's a fucking trap and it'll bite you in the ass, it's a trade not worth making.
I'm so tired of these irredeemable and unreasonable dipshit characters that are somehow so powerful, respected and supposedly intelligent. This bullshit lame ass excuse of hers to save him is ridiculous. Yea, losing him would be bad, almost as bad as bending over and taking the noble fucking you'll get for allowing them a pass. What a bunch of contrived bullshit. This has already devolved into an r/iamversmart & r/iamverybadass circle jerk for the MC.
This writing and character makes Marie Antoinette look like fucking Einstein.
