Thank you for your input. ^_^

Yes, I think I'll have to tweak Cherubim's role in Gumina's downfall. As for his role as a duke, I think that Gumina would want to have him instead of letting Beelzenia pick a new one because she's married to Sateriasis and wants to stay in power. The new duke may not like her, or already have a wife. At the moment, Gumina is not valuable enough to stay Duchess without being married to the Duke. Thus, she changes his face so he can impersonate his brother. I had her brainwash him into the massacre because she feels that it is his way of repenting for what he did for her, before becoming her husband and sex slave.

I also think he might be more guilty about Gumina's death than Gumina for his, but she still essentially brainwashed him into murdering his family and abducted and raped countless men besides him. He would at least understand that she was not a good person.

Finally, as a duke himself, Cherubim learned a lot from his wife, so he's not completely hopeless, and I also thought if he remarried quickly, his wife could help. Following your assumption, he would probably need more of a reason to remarry than for the heck of it.

Overall, I think you're very correct in a lot of the nitpicks. I'm confused about how I should approach Cherubim abandoning Gumina, but I suppose it depends on how persuasive his family was.

Finally, I may also have Gumina kill her in-laws herself, now that you mentioned it. The complication is also something you pointed out: that Cherubim still adores her, and without her wronging him in enough ways, he could never get over it.

I'll start working soon.
