#I hc that Felix' mother sacrificed herself to protect Claude from an assassination attempt

[sharper-than-a-serpents-tooth]

Headcanon that when he was a child Felix used to be friends with some of the knight apprentices that were bullying Claude and this is why Claude feels comfortable using Felix as his emotional punching bag and Felix accepts being treated that way as if he deserves it

#I just can't imagine Claude treating Felix that badly if Felix had been by his side from the start #it's as if there was an underlying resentment #“I love you but I can't forgive you for what you did for what you let others do to me” #“you just stood by as they hurt me why is it suddely so hard for you to turn your head away when I do the same?” #young Felix being a passive bystander to the bullying of Claude would fall in line with his passivity towards cruelty in tp/wmmap #his biggest flaw is that he is lawful even when the person making the laws and commanding his hand is the worst man alive #I hc that Felix' mother sacrificed herself to protect Claude from an assassination attempt #and Felix never forgave himself for not being strong enough to protect #thus devoting himself entirely to Claude as atonement #Felix is always obedient to the highest instances of power (the imperial family and his parents) #his mother gave her life for Claude making Claude the next highest instance of power in young Felix' life #claufelix #wmmap #felix robane #headcanons #who made me a princess #sbapod #suddenly became a princess one day
