@AnjingXia You're absolutely right. No matter how much the story tries to paint Rishar as the only person who cares about Ettienne, if he really cared about him, he should be focusing on deflecting the parents and supporting Etienne politically. That way, Rishar could protect him and help him avoid more abuse and neglect. The only time Rishar has ever done this was with that one convo with the Emperor, and that was the only instance when his character was not dull to me.
But no! Rishar, being unable to control himself. puts Ettienne in even more trouble with his parents by repeatedly visiting him and forcing him into certain situations. That's inconsiderate and makes Rishar out to look obsessive and impulsive, rather than caring.
But since this is yaoi, I guess we're just supposed to ignore that and find it romantic, huh?
