@June Von Ascham The problem with most ppl is that their perspective is that of an Adult or someone older and also grew up with "MODERN" normal parents. They do not put themselves in the POV of Raul. He was kid and his Father, Mother and servants didn't care about him. MC had the thirsty Maid that is loyal to him and would follow him, but Raul didn't have anyone.
He wasn't born twisted but become one. He learned that Violence and Power makes you RIGHT. Since this isn't Modern Times.
IN THE MIDST OF THIS DARKNESS. A PATH OF LIGHT EXISTS--OUTSIDE OF THE LIGHT, NOTHING CAN BE SEEN, NOTHING EXISTS. I AM ONE WHO RUNS IN THE MIDST OF THAT LIGHT.
