@Undefinedhappiness No he has not attempted anything with Atil, Atil hates him because if he dies, Fjord will become the emperor, that's it. That from the novel btw. Throughout the whole novel, he treated Lilyca kindly, and has never make her sad or anything. Like he doesn't even tease her. He treats Lily like the most precious thing in the world and doesn't even confess to her until she 15-16 years old because he afraid he wouldn't be good for Lily.
