As mentioned before, Yetana was someone who acted impulsively when it came to emotions, whether love or family. In the usual sense, such people were absolutely considered good people. After all, no one liked someone cold-blooded and heartless. But as a ruler, this trait was not an advantage.
Good people could not be rulers.
