@lolicons nephew I don't really understand why the majority hates both the parents or the Duke alone but in my opinion he has done nothing wrong from the start, he is very expressive for someone who had no grasp of human emotions, very honest about his love for her and very logical in his please for her to stay. He isn't the possessive type to cage the wife in his mansion, he is simply begging with his heart on his sleeve for his wife who claims to love him too to stay with him and their daughters. The mom feels guilty I get it but it all turned out fine enough that she can live lovingly with him. But she continues to run and I understood why they kept branding her as selfish... Because she truly is, unbearably selfish.
As for claire? She is extraordinary and gifted and she feels suffocated because she cannot relate to the world she was born in while her twin can thrive in the same environment without being as extraordinary and the whole point of the plot is that people assume that eciel should be jealous of claire but it's literally the other way around, Claire is deep down extremely envious of eciel that she was born normal and didn't have to learn to act normal while still failing at it. She finds no joy or superiority in being branded as an astariol.
The Duke deserves the world, Eciel needs to be protected at all costs, Claire needs answers, closure and reassurance, the princess is just selfish and an overall very human but very crappy character.
