Hmm... I'll keep my shipping to myself from now on, to avoid more characters getting dispatched (?) like Mikhail.
Yago has a way of revealing even more crazy when you think the man has reached the absolute bottom. He needs a spectacularly painful ending, filled with humiliation.
He he... Kade will prove a challenge for Adrian. How to woo a thief? Stealing his heart? 😉
Sounds to me like Jared indeed is a better diplomat than assassin. They will have to show trust and faith to get anywhere. Not easy given their history.
Kade is a Di Couteau? Interesting!
I can understand Marion's confusion. She holds a lot of hatred towards Alexandre and justly so. Can a man change? And does that make up for his cruel past?
Talia must be feeling so useless locked up like that. Difficult to take action without help, though it seems hopeless at the moment. Maybe if Mikhail shows up...
Jezebel will fall of her own pride. She'd do well learning the phrase Memento mori. Maybe that's the point of keeping old portraits?
Jared and Marion have some thinking to do. The world is changing and they should change with it.
Strange to see Ysabel almost human and so aware of her demon. She needs to regain full control not to be used as a mere weapon.
Talia sure is up against a true challenge. She'll have to prove what she learned from all her training.
I'm happy Luca followed his heart. Though Adrian deserves an equally fine a spouse.
As much as he likes to deny it, Kiorl is such a caretaker. He goes about it in rather roundabout ways, but he takes care of those around him. Even when they don't deserve it very much. He should listen to Jin-Ha. He needs being cared for as well. And on a deep level.
Conflicted is just the surface of Kiorl's state of mind. Tricky to distance yourself from your king and maker without causing friction. Will the king ever be prepared to step down? If so, I'd guess he'd want Nassau to have someone so loyal and strong as Kiorl by his son's side. Still not close to letting go of power, so the king could get possessive. He's not in a good place either. Hell is stirring.
Cute to imagine demons being grown in fields. Kiorl seems like he'd like having someone by his side for some adoration. Maybe someone slightly less complicated than Nas. A labrador demon? Are there such a thing? Pull did a good impression of one. 😉
Jahke is adorable with his hooves and horns! I'm happy for him and Sitka.
Also, I think Tobias' uncompromising and slightly brutal honesty paired with Jahke's naive but invincible optimism are working wonders for Nassau's mood. Just what he needed. The demons really did choose wisely.
I don't think Kiorl needs to love someone else, but rather find a way to love himself. So confident but such low self esteem. And he's figured out why. The King and the Prince will never be his. Not in the way he wants or perhaps more needs someone to be. Let's see if his pride will let him act upon his realisation.
Interesting to meet Sathriel a bit more in person. He struck me as a little worried, wanting to ensure Kiorl's loyalty. Hell is restless, even the king himself isn't totally safe.
Gruesome task to get rid of dissidents. Feels like Kiorl is more protecting Nassau, even if he is loyal to Sathriel.
It's fascinating to see how the demons and Nassau are capable of utmost cruelty and yet are so caring towards Tobias and Jahke. Nas didn't have to send a crow, but he did. Kiorl didn't have to get an atlas, but he did. I think I've said it before, but I'm pleased they get to be demons but still multidimensional.
