Well, it’s obvious that being the wife and son of a family from the North, sooner or later they would have to go back to ttheir territory eventually.

But………..! Isolating the victims is TYPICAL behavior of domestic abusers. The fact that the ML’s duke father “doesn’t want other nobles in his house,” (as Dhalia was told by the man’s wife, in the previous chapter) really does hint at what a huge abusive coward he is. He doesn’t like other nobles around because they’re obviously his equals, meaning he can’t control them.
Moreover, the fact that he so THOUGTHLESSLY ignored the basic rules of courtesy among nobles of EQUAL status, in order to threaten another duke’s daughter with hitting her (rather than just with going to complain about her to her parents, like ANY SANE fellow duke would do!!) shows he CLEARLY HAS NO IDEA how to interact with people of equal status to himself. He probably doesn’t often take a step out of the North, where he’s the one with the highest status all around… And so much so, that he’s a TOTAL INEPT when it comes to interacting with people of the same class, or above. An inept, abusive coward.
The fact that his wife is easily kept under his toe, and he gets away with all of it, is probably because her own family has failed to put any pressure on him, to force this guy to treat both her and their son with proper respect. And yes, even in a political marriage, the wife’s family could still have done that. So, the fact that they haven’t is either because they’re powerless as a vassal family (of inferior status to his), or because they’re an equally abusive family that doesn’t bother with looking out for the daughters’ fortunes after they get married (and… I repeat, yes, even in political marriages, the wife’s family could have stipulated that her getting treated well by the husband was part of the entire marriage deal….).
Bottomline is, the ML’s duke is an inept, trash, abusive coward.
well this is the last they meet untill the ball after the war he is gonna have a pretty rough life after this its torchering and painful he kept loosing his mind but luckily the faint voice of FL kept him sane or else he would have truly turned mad
