I still can't get over respecting and loving your master so much you decide that you have to murder his only child. Like what the fuck is wrong with these people. There's no coming back from that. That's not a reasonable motivation to have. At least the thing about avoiding chaos and civil war made internal sense, in a cruelly utilitarian way. The fact that it's all couched in adoration for this late king, though? Beyond saving. All of these people are irredeemable.
