Hmm i don’t really understand alpha and others, i mean cid say it himself that he accept that whip because that is his punishment for killing the maid. I mean if he doesn’t want to get captured then no one can captured him. Getting whip is cid decision to atone his mistake, his servant and wives should understand that rather than getting angry like banshee. They should be happy that their master is not getting arrogant just because he’s strong, they should be happy their master doesn’t walk into wrong path just because he’s strong, they should respect his decision rather than throwing a tantrum like a child. Iris is wrong sure, but alpha and others should understand just like them who love cid so much, iris also love alexia.
I think you've missed the entire point of the conversation. They respected the decision that's why they didn't kill her and wiped out the entire kingdom. To even call them being childish and petty, remember the conversation? Alexia wanted to be direct so she got direct. LOL It's the audacity of iris ignoring what happened, her hubris in not apologizing after committing a grievous mistake. Interrogating someone with noble status with torture. Cid is not some stranger hobo, he's the one guiding her sister(beloved mind you) in swordsmanship.She cared about her sister? So why didn't she supervise the questioning? She let her pawns do the job, not questioning whether they can do it or not. It's not surprising that in the original story she's just a whiny spoiled princess surrounded by praise that upon failure she broke down. A leader only due to nepotism that when crisis started happening she's like a headless chicken in the middle of a war.
T_Rin:I know that, but at least they should respect his decision and be done with it rather than getting angry and throwing tantrum whenever iris is mentioned. Just like in the original cid also get tortured, alpha and the others know that but they understand cid is just playing around and respect their master decision, they don’t get angry or start blaming iris because they know cid just want to have fun by getting captured and tortured. As i said no one can captured cid in this fanfic if he doesn’t allow them, so getting whip is his own decision, his servant and wives should understand that and move on to be more mature, stop being childish and petty.
This whole thing is SUPER edgy. Like next level edge. I physically cringed when I saw you write that he was “punishing himself” I think this whole situation would have worked out waaaay better if you had just edited the part where he killed the maid out and just washed your hands of it. Now you’ve got a protagonist that’s edgy asf who lets himself get beat up to “punish” himself for his transgression. Cringe cring cringe AF.
