So I’m not alone in immediately thinking this sounds like the count of monte cristo (though in that the fiancé was innocent) except with martial arts instead of scholarship and noble manners
Hmm, I like that he’s feeling genuine guilt and is going through his utmost to right his wrong so that Lizzie can be happy. He was neglectful and did not try to understand her after feeling disgust towards her inhuman behaviour; it’s understandable, that doesn’t meen you have to forgive these...
I’m not sure if it was the writing, the panelling or what, but this chapter was unusually difficult to follow. I’m not sure I understood it as intended...
@Ghastltyghoulman your not un uncultured swine, I read Macbeth in high school English but still only learned the origins of the phrase from a rudimentary google search. I only mentioned it because Shakespeare is the origin of many English phrases and is responsible for many modern English...
Remember what this story is called? He needs to become a Tyrant, and she needs to run away first for their (obsessive likely yandere type) romance to begin
@Ghastlyghoulman the phrase “poisoned chalice” originates from Shakespeare’s Macbeth and suits the situation well, so any alternative will likely be less accurate
