the simping is part of it
but yeah i've never been fully onboard the cole is simply c*ntstruck movement. he didn't have a choice BUT to fukk the heir - so what are his ways out? he's gotta keep her happy at all times too or he's cooked as well.
dude got too much pride in getting his position to simply be her dikk in a box too
Exactly and to be honest I don't even see what simping he's even done.
The princess propositioned him for sex. Due to her rank he cannot really say no, so agrees.
But of course this action is him breaking his oath. So he tries to formulate a plan so he and the princess can be legitimate to restore his chastity.
The princess say no and that it will never happen but you can be my gigolo.
The queen then calls him, he confesses but NOT out of spite or revenge like how a simp would do but to atone for his lost honor which is why he accepts possible death.
Then a slimy fakkit pulls up on him and tries to gloat about the situation.
He's not this crazed obsessed jealous man people are trying to make out.
And The REAL SIMP of the show so far is Daemon. Who killed his wife hoping to get a marriage proposal from someone who barely acknowledges him.
