For me at least, I hate Diana more because she is very selfish and arrogant, Helios fucked up and he knows he fucked up, I think he could even have a redemption eventually, but Diana thinks she is untouchable and looks like she wants Kael to stay obsessed with her, even tho she is already married.
But yes, I do agree that both of them are in the wrong, Helios just seems more redeemable.
Yupp true.. I actually kinda still hate Helios a tad bit because he is sooo dependent on Kael to clean up his mess..He is redeemable in a sense that he realize that the emperor won't last long, he is married, he big joy now need to take on responsibility as royal seriously, falling for his friend's wife now but nono he stole enough from Kael so he should dismiss this thoughts.. That's good thinking and growth there.. I'll admit.. And although an empire are not run by the royals alone and that is why there is nobles in the court too..Helios still can't really get away from being over dependent on Kael (because people look up to Kael, reliable, things like that) to the point that it messes with Kael's personal relationship (Hess) and honour (when Helios keep quiet when Diana accuse Kael as cruel and his action was wrong when Kael get rid of the criminal when everyone overcomplicate things because the criminal is quite high in the noble status-Helios afraid of losing support from noble who are close to the criminal)
So i comparison to Diana.. That was why Helios is better..
No lie, like I still don't like Helios because he still ignored the fact the his friend was trying to commit suicide. I don't understand why everyone is hating on Diana more than the prince they are both equally bad. From what I saw the prince is also crushing on Hestia. Seems like he wanted any girl his friend likes. Both Diana and Helios are wrong.
