HOLY SHIT! I admire this because.. giving some sense to why Alfred is an arse it’s a good way to also explain why wouldn’t he support his son on politics—beyond the gay thing—I CAN’T WAIT TO READ THIS

It also explains why Thomas’ family wouldn’t oppose Alfred about him being institutionalized – if there was a question as to who was the rightful heir to the dukedom, they’d be all too happy to see Thomas taken out of the running, especially if he were Alfred’s only legitimate male heir. This is all mostly backstory, but I’m hoping I can work some of it into the last chapter of CotD – maybe just a quick exchange between Archibald and Thomas. This thing keeps growing on me!
