Like legit this man has no reason to be so kind and righteous; where has he seen it demonstrated? — No, he JUST IS!!! No one had to teach him (though he always tries to grow) he just is good. — Talk about “not becoming your parents” and “we are more than our pasts” THIS MAN was raised by a monster, he has been surrounded by abusive men who use women, his nightmare of a brother, a careless mother, and the weight of an entire country (covered in blood still seeping from his fathers original wounds) … and yet, he turns out to be NOT ONLY the opposite but FAR MORE knowledgeable (in morality, studies, heck being a king) then other good characters who had WAYYY better examples to mimic… he EVEN understands Celaena (better than Chaol) he understands loving someone (better than ANY of the ships so far) AND he understands letting them go; really letting them go, and wanting not only what’s better for them, but also what he deserves.
