He might be the husband of Farsight, but as the assistant mayor and now the current mayor. He was still a servant to Farsight's family.
So when on his job, he never called Farsight as his wife, he still used designations to define or speak about her.
But that doesn't mean he was fully able to differentiate his professional as well as personal life. Being an orphan, Farsight was the only family he had left in this world.
With Wilkis gone, he also had a promise to uphold to him, as well as himself.
The future of his child as well as the legacy of Wilkis still needs to be kept secure.
But putting someone as dangerous as Alfin so close to Farsight was a disaster. Vanras hasn't forgotten the words Wilkis has spoken about Alfin when he eventually woke up.
How Wilkis treated him as a madman who spoke of nonsensical things.
It was so bad that Wilkis hadn't even allowed Reece to talk to Alfin.
