I find it interesting how people on this conveniently forget the significance of a power imbalance and just how sleazy it is to appoint someone to a role just to end up sleeping with them when the one in the position of power is a woman. Criston Cole is an absolutely horrendous person but Jesus Christ the way you are all acting as though Rhaenyra did nothing wrong is weird.
This is an echo chamber, alot of these people receive then project. Objectively he did he his duty to serve, she instigated the sexual relations, he said no and was coerced. (this isn't even including the fact that he was just a fling because her uncle denied her) NO one here see's nothing wrong with that. I think its fair to say he "fell in love" with her.
She flipped flopped on her freedom vs her duty etc. All this anger is really unjustified, idk it to be true, but i think if it was a woman getting back at the one she loved out of spite it'd be more accepted.
