Sure thing! The best way I could answer it is with a passage from chapter 10:
“A council of world leaders met to discuss the future of these lands, with a representative from every nation in attendance.” Dante continued, putting his back to the others. “Some wanted limits on when and how you could be deployed, while others suggested, unthinkably… that you be disposed of permanently.”
“You mean…?”
“To protect the peace, or their own interests perhaps, the very people you saved suggested killing you so that you couldn’t become a problem later.” Dante closed his eyes. “Allies and adversaries both.”
He wasn’t lying here, I’ll reveal, or at least he told part of the truth. However, since the exile was supposed to be in lieu of an execution, the fact that Felix is roaming free once again creates a huge political dilemma for Dante to handle now. The king suggested prison specifically because he *didn’t* want to have to kill Felix, but his escape left him with no choice, and once Dante learned he had lost his memories it made him an easy target for the Black Court. So, you’re pretty close to the answer, but Dante is a little complicated in general so his actions ≠ feelings at times, especially when a potential war is on the table.
Anyway, thanks for reading all the way through! 😁 I’m glad you liked Felix and Rambo Kite’s adventures, and I look forward to catching the conclusion of Demon Queen as well.
