Ok is it just me but feel that the disownment was just a LITTLE too far? Don't get me wrong. He was an a** to Liddy, did'nt deserve to be her fiance and deserved getting banned as a knight. But I feel the disownment is going a little too far. Along with Aimme's parents having to revoke their noble status's because of their daughters actions.

@StarLily501 I am not sure if my explanation will make sense as to why his was disowned and Aimme's parents were also punished but I hope it helps!
He just got fired by the crown Prince as a royal knight, a vice commander to the princess residence to be exact. Although in modern time this may be nothing then just losing a job but to a noble the dishonor he brought not only to his family, but the royal family and Lyddy's family, is equal to a social death sentence, and your social standing is a big part of nobility. His actions will effect how people interact(make deals with merchants) with his family and that is a big part of how mobility made money. Of course you also have nobles who will now look down on them which is something no noble wants.
As for Aimme's parents, to put it in modern terms -they work for the government and their child stole money from the government so they lost their jobs(keep in mind they were already struggling with money) btw in stories with nobility a lot of times the whole family is helped responsible for the actions of other family members

@StarLily501 The entire story is going too far. Twenty years of emprisonment? You don't get that much even when you kill someone usually. The families having to relish their titles and disowning a guy because the guy "distracted" a maid from his duties and was "insensitive" to his girlfriend? This story is pure bullshit, the moment they acted like to buy sweets to the kids trying to imitate an aristocratic lady was the worse crime ever. These stories are peak classism, I can't help to think the author would think the villain of the manga "Victorian Romance Emma", the Viscount, should be the real hero and that the main character, Emma, should be the villain.
