@dylgramac I agree that the mother isn't as bad as she could be, but don't forget her blatant favoritism towards the head of the family and her indifference towards the kids she views as "useless" (the younger brother has a whole complex because of her). All in all though, she might be able to have a redemption if the author pulls it off right.

What if Alice is related to the witch

F*ck! Im sorry, but F*CK!

While I tend to agree that his Mother doesn't really deserve the consideration the Duke is giving her, I can see why he feels as he does. He seems to be as scared of his curse as she is at times, and his family does provide for him to live in comfort. I can't remember reading anything implying his Mother is any worse than a coward, and if the Duke didn't want to reconcile with those scared away by his curse, he'd be left with few people to interact with unless he sought out new people, which would be difficult after his long period of isolation.

Why would he care about anyone in his family other than maybe his sister? Alice is more family to him than anyone else tbh.

There's something going on with her strong reaction to his words, and then her face at the end. Whatever it is she knows, she needs to tell him soon. Holding on to information like that will only make it worse.

Fuck your family. 'Family' like that ain't worth the time or effort.

Could there be a deeper reason why he shouldn't leave the family? After all the witch has probably cursed him for some reason.

Oh man, she is just the best. I do like The Duke's conviction tho but I'm always sorry of angered by people who listen to/obey/try to reconcile with shitty family just because they're family. Like, fuck his mom.

Oh boy, talk about flags, this is getting interesting

OMG just fuck alr---- oh..... right... damn...

The duke is so open about his feelings now, I'm afraid that something bad is going to happen.

SO DEEEEEEP!!!

It hurts but it's a good hurt
