concept: Ijekiel is a generational yandere. We don't see duchess Alpheus because Roger has her successfully confined to her rooms
Wait. WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE!!!!
This is insanely good though, like, YES- how did I not-!?!!?
Physically it could make sense cause when a child looks like their parent's copy it can go 1 of 2 ways...1) they are nothing alike in terms of personality, 2) they are exactly alike in terms of personality. Ijekiel is...following after his father's footsteps in appearing harmless in front of most but can and will strike when needed. Love, for example.
Being a duke, Roger could have either had a fiancee from young and absolutely loved the heck out of her or disliked her because she wasn't his type and was his parent's choice for rank/power. IF he disliked her, he could have devised a plan to get rid of her and bring in the person who he dearly liked/loved and she either 1) loved him back, 2) didn't love him but put up with him because she'd get to be a duchess 3) fell in love with him later on.
//
Either way, IMO, new HC has arrived in my mind palace and Ijekiel inheriting yandere tendencies is SO freaking enjoyable!!! Like, he'd see his mom really rarely and was basically raised by his father alone. He knows his mother is alive and well but wonders why he can never meet her when he wants to. His father answers him with a bright, warm smile on his face after closing the doors to his mother's chambers behind him.
"Ijekiel, remember my son- when you love someone, cherish them dearly. They will forever be yours. Always like sunshine in your eyes and when you find that special someone..." His father ruffles his hair.
"Make sure they are for your eyes alone."
Ijekiel takes these words to heart, and when he finds someone who catches his eye...a glimmer of sheer want grips his heart. He wanted to take her away from this beautiful ball for she was more precious than the rarest of roses.
"For my eyes alone..." he mumbled, his gaze following the smooth pink silk as he walked up to her.
"May I have this dance...your highness?"

@jeweled-blue-eyes , this one's for you.
I was thinking about how Ezekiel only ever wanted one thing, and it was Athanasia, and thinking about that and the possiblity of it being unrequited (not necessarily unrequited but you get my point) , really made me go bonkers. So I decided to give you one of my favorite songs (so suffer for what you did to my mushy peas brain with the Winter Prince MWAHAHAHA)
Athanasia De Alger obelia & Ezekiel Alpheus.
You wanted forever and a day
But a day is all I could give away
You touched my heart, it is true
But it doesn't belong to you
Oh, it doesn't belong to you
My handsome poet, with golden eyes
Today I am yours, and today you are mine
But please do not ask when you'll see me again
For my heart belongs to another man
Oh, my heart belongs to another man
Such piercing eyes, as if you're mesmerized
Like I was some kind of myth
Someone you would die to be with
Such piercing eyes, mesmerized
Like I was some kind of siren
You made me smile, feel admired and free
Together with you on this deserted beach
This is how I will remember us
And I hope you will forget me not
Oh, I hope you will forget me not
Such piercing eyes, as if you're mesmerized
Like I was some kind of myth
Someone you would die to be with
Such piercing eyes, mesmerized
Like I was some kind of siren
And you would swim the wildest waters to get on my island
You wanted forever and a day
But a day is all I could give away
You wanted forever and a day
But a day is all I could give away
You wanted forever and a day
But a day is all I could give away
And this one is another I was working on previously but it was so good that I had to add it to this one.
So there's two AU's I relate this song too.
So this AU takes place after the execution of Athanasia, Jeannette wakes up from her poison induced coma, and found out that Ezekiel killed himself out of Grief from nearly losing his sister and his lover.
So the idea came from my head when I thought about how nice it would be to have a good relationship between Jeannette and Ezekiel, after everything they've gone through, they deserve it. But I kill them all off here so yeah Lol
Btw, Jeannette sent Rosalia off to the stakes because she (Rosalia, not Jeannette) was already facing Witch allegations, and since she caused the death of Jeannette's two most important people in her life, she was burned.
But of course, this Rosalia Is a bitch, so she's not guilty.
Or,
The second AU is the Marie Antoinette AU. Except instead of dying unjust and with decapitation/hanging (yes it is still unjust but it's witchcraft allegations) she dies a burning death , swearing that obelia will fall on the first new moon after her death.
Aeternitas and Anastacius soon return that very new moon.
Amongst The Angels Trumpet's/The Aid.
I'd rather go to the stake
I'd rather go to the stake
I'd rather burn, oh I'd rather burn
I'd rather burn at the stake
But know I'll return and I'll be dead awake
I'll be dead awake, rising from the stake
And when you hear the following tune
You'll know, you'll know
When you hear the following tune
You'll know that I'll be with you
And when you hear the following tune
You'll know, you'll know
When you hear the following tune
You'll know that I'll be with you soon
I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain
With my delicate and fragile lady brain
I will not let you get away
I'd rather burn at the stake
But know I'll return and I'll be dead awake
I'll be dead awake, rising from the stake
And when you hear the following tune
You'll know, you'll know
When you hear the following tune
You'll know that I'll be with you
And when you hear the following tune
You'll know, you'll know
When you hear the following tune
You'll know that I'll be with you soon
Dadada dada dada dada dada da
Dadada dada dada dada dada da
Dadada dada dada dada dada da
Dadada dada dada dada dada da
Won't let you take my soul away
I'd rather go to the stake
I'd rather burn, oh I'd rather burn
I'd rather burn at the stake
Enjoy <3

Lp Claude loved Jennette?? I always thought he only used her for his headache but in the side story Athy says that Claude looked at Jenette warmly and spoke softly to her and told her to stay away because it was dangerous when athy was dying of pain (I wanted kill him at that time) and that confuses me a lot.
Also, in the side story, at some point Claude gets jealous of Jennette and Ezekiel's relationship?? It also strikes me that he so easily agreed to that commitment and did not postpone it as with athy (until 26 lmao)
I'd go reread that part but that side story makes me really mad so I'm asking here 😭 Besides, I also want to express my hatred for LP Universe. I also hate Roger and Rosaria so much in that story, just remembering it I want to hit them all
Eh, up to interpretation.
Take into consideration that Jennette's black magic literally makes people love her, that's its whole purpose. You can see how... unsettling it can be when it made all those nobles get into a sort of frenzy when looking at Jennette (just before the scene when lucathy has their date at the lake). It was pretty scary mind control. And the prose when LP!Claude talks about Jennette was always pretty disturbing to me. "He felt bad, but suddenly, for some reason, when he looked at Jennette... it was as if all that pain went away...", "Jennette said to just get rid of the source of his headaches, so he should kill Athanasia, yes..." that sort of stuff. Pretty pavlovian lmao.
If you think his feelings could be sincere under those conditions, then he loved her. It could be a mix of real feelings and mind control. Or just 100% fabricated stuff. I don't really care because LP!Claude sucks lmao.
In any case, he loved her less and/or less sincerely than how wmmap!Claude loved Athy (duh, no mind control shenanigans, but also, Claude's pov is so, so, so much more loving with Athy). And yeah, it is telling that he refused to let Athy go for years, while he didn't care about Jennette getting married at 18-ish.
Also, it's been a while since I read the novel, but I don't remember any scene of LP!Claude interacting with Ijekiel, sorry.

Villain! Ijekiel
He would make them all pay for what they did to her. She would be his finest flower, his sharpest blade, his only sun, and all the power and glory he had, was hers to wield as she wished.
"Are you alright?"
"...No."
He remembers when her eyes had become full of life again, but now they were cold and withdrawn- a shell.
He ground his teeth and a snarl lifted his lips up to reveal white teeth and he whispers, "I'll rip them apart."
"What mercy should I show them when they underestimated us?"
"They dared to covet the one person they should never have tried to desire, and I will make them... pay."
