Hi @the-pearl-of-labuan, in your point of view, what do you wish to see with Sandokan's love for Marianne evolving? Do you see him expressing his affection to his queen not only in words but also in physical touch in season two? Take your time to answer. No rush.

@the-pearl-of-labuan, I saw a post from @sorcereress-power-23 abour when Sandokan snuck into Lord Gullionk's study and saw Angelica's portrait. He gazed at it, and then BOWED, like he was showing respect to the actual woman. Obviously, he saw the near-identical resemblance and knew that was Marianne's late mother. I feel like bowing to her painting was the quickest way, Sandokan could show respect for Angelica, both as a female elder, and as the mother of the woman that saved his life. I also think he instantly knew the blonde woman wasn't just the source of Marianne's beauty, but also her wild spirit. How Angelica was portrayed in her portrait was unique: She was dressed like a typical, aristocratic, Victorian woman; Had her hair in a customary updo; And was carrying a bouquet of flowers. But her playful half-smile and mischievous eyes showed her real personality was anything, but demure. I'm sure Sandokan saw mother and daughter's similarities.
