[ of course the margrave would make such a demand. and of course it falls onto him, once more, to discipline an unruly knight, perhaps to save the father from the burden of having to kill his son. margrave gautier was not a man known for sentimentality and would never be accused of such a thing, but in that moment, dimitri wonders whether he was truly just thinking of sylvain and begging the king to take the responsibility from him. save him from the trouble of killing his son. he had been spared of having lost anyone in duscur, and now, it seems that fate has turned on the margrave with his wayward son.
what was he supposed to do with him? deliberately in arianrhod, sylvain, who never does anything without intention, lets himself be seen walking with her. walking with a beast. the betrayal doesn't sting anymore. he only remembers his cruel laughter whenever he dismisses his lovers. he must think of the kingdom as one such thing: another spurned lover, same story as before.
