    Wilfried hate train ended up being all for nothing in the end. His “evil plots” included “Make Rozemyne the Aub instead of me” and “I do not want to marry her”.

    Good to see the two getting along again. :)

      I’m really relieved. It was like watching a train crash in slow motion but I couldn’t end up hating Wilfried. I’m glad I’m the end, his own sincerity at least has never changed, despite Oswald and Barthold’s best efforts. I wont entirely forgive him for turning on Lampretch just yet, but from here on I do hope he takes a more minor role in the story and becomes a good kid once again

        Same here. I was annoyed to say the least about some of his actions, but it always seemed like he was a good boy, whenever he was making his own decisions and only messing things up royally, when he listened to his retainers (or his grandmother in the biggest screw-up of them all), making me not outright hate him at any point (but hating Veronica, Oswald and his crew all the more). Now we learn that even that wasn’t entirely the case, and that he had a reason to play along with those infected by Veronica’s poison.

        That moment of them holding hands to be siblings again was heartwarming. Just what I needed after the drama of the previous book and the emotional meltdown.

        Also props to Wilfried for keeping it bottled up until the main meeting was over, as Sylvester rightfully praised him for.
