Griffith, the head of the Eagle Corps, has a handsome face and fascinates thousands of girls; his martial arts are strong, and his team is invincible; he is not leaking in terms of dealing with people and things, so it is easy to attract jealousy. Such a person who is almost perfect, is the most selfish person in the play.
During World War II with Gus, Griffith admired Gus's self-defeating fight (biting a long sword), praised him for "doing anything to win", and said "I like you more and more".
The reason why I admire the way Gus wins is because Griffith himself is also a person who will do anything to win and achieve his dreams.
In "Arrival", Griffith has a dialogue with the divination mother-in-law, which further reveals what Griffith thinks:
Even if there are corpses under your feet, you have to step on them to climb up your own country.
All of the above can reveal the true side of Griffith: in order to dream, he can do whatever he can.
In "The Raiders of Dol'dore", Griffith's conversation with General Garon reveals Griffith's thoughts:
Griffith has a scale in his heart. The right side is always his heavy dream, and the left side is the chess piece he holds. When they are large enough and heavy enough to be equal to Griffith's dream, Griffith will always be able to balance his dream. Feith will stop.
But for Griffith, Gus is a special existence, only he can make Griffith forget his dream. This topic will not be discussed further.
Back to Griffith, according to the theatrical trilogy, Griffith's image has been shaped:
Except for Gus, everyone else is a pawn to realize their dreams, and even with the Eagles who were born and died, Griffith coldly distinguishes them from "friends". Griffith has a slight distaste for those who have no dreams, even if they depend on themselves, even if they are companions.
And Princess Charlotte, for Griffith, is just another pawn.
For Griffith, who wants to build a country, the biggest problem at present is his commoner origin.
Because of his commoner background, he will be despised by nobles, or even assassinated (as already reflected in "The Overlord's Egg").
And the appearance of Princess Charlotte just solved this problem. If you fall in love with the princess, maybe you can become a nobleman and be on an equal footing with other nobles...
So I think that when Griffith first saw the princess' "love at first sight" expression, he actually thought like this at the time:
"Fuck it's her! As long as I get rid of her, I'll be one step closer to my dream!"
Griffith is very similar to Yagami, Yagami uses the ability of Mi Haisha, and Griffith uses the identity of the princess.
At the end of "The Raiders of Dol'dore", a conversation between Griffith and King Midland shows that Griffith is very concerned about the princess. He has investigated whether the princess has a marriage contract. Does this mean that Griffith is Do you want to marry her?
So why did Griffith go to the princess' bedroom in "The Raiders of Dol'dore"?
The core members left their team and lost "Hundreds of People" Gus, which was a great loss of combat power for the entire Eagle Corps. Without Gus, every fight would be a lot harder.
Griffith seems to see that he is far away from his dream. The dream that could have been realized in 10 years may now take 20 years, and Griffith can't understand the reason why Gus left the team. All obediently obey orders, how to say go away?
Griffith felt that he had lost control of his dreams, so in order to regain that feeling of "mastering everything", he went to the princess' bedroom and undressed without any further explanation. ”, and the “sense of control” reappeared, but Griffith was still obsessed with Gus.
According to this, the whole "Griffith falls in love with the princess" plot has been clear - he has no love at all, only use.
Use the status of the princess to gain your own noble status;
Use the princess's body to regain the "sense of conquest"...
So I say, Griffith is the most selfish person in the whole show.
