* WhatAnIdiot: As [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/5016787/ this reader]] helpfully points out, there are so many damn ways the Cardinal's plot to reveal Louise later could have blown up in his face that he should by all rights be dead. This doesn't even include the fact that Karin could very well decided to level the church, royal family, and everyone else involved for hiding Louise.
** Hell, it doesn't even address how ''Louise'' could have reacted. Did he honestly think that she would let the fact they were emotionally torturing her mother go without a hitch when she got reintroduced?

** There's also the fact that, the plot was jump started by him kidnapping Louise, which in turn made her act in ways that hurt the Cardinals father. However, he doesn't seem to realize that he doesn't have any grounds to criticize Karin, considering he kidnapped an allies child, murdered the other one, and gloats about it mind you, and he himself acting irrationally as a result, calling her a selfish bitch, while he stays mad at her for a death he indirectly caused through his criminal actions. Really, it makes the Cardinals speech come off as somewhat an AuthorTract.
