//Okay but think about it, we know Somnus’ side of things but not Gil’s, so I assume its similar to Somnus but here is the weird thing, he stuck around for 2000+ years, and not just that, we can see he isn’t quite human anymore. So either 1. He is cursed. 2. He chooses to be cursed. 3. He is immortal but being in a realm with daemons did shit. Or 4. 1,2,3 or some shit. Also, he wants the best for the Chosen it seems, and that and any King as seen with Cor. If he is like any Shield he may be the way he is because he didn’t do enough, he wanted to help make up in some way, I highly doubt he came out unharmed by losing Ardyn, bullshit. If anything I think he blames himself quite a bit. So yeah, when a Ardyn gets mad at him he wont be mad at that because he, of course, expects it as what he has done, but I doubt it doesn't still hurt, if it hurt Somnus seeing Ardyn as he has imagined if he was actually a Shield in a sense for the both of them to a point and being like wow, I fucked up, I really fucked up
