Well, I guess I can understand being upset about something for centuries.
( Personally. Across generations, though... Hmm... )
You must lose track of the point, right? Like, if someone's mad at you for a hundred years, ( that's a mortal lifespan... right... a hundred? ) then their... kid? and your kid are mad at each other because of that for another hundred years... they already probably don't totally get why you and the first person were mad at each other, right? Are the descendants mad just because, eventually?
( And while he comprehends broad human settlements and countries and bonds, he can't help but default to a small scale for these things - the inheritance extends down one person at a time, relationships no more complex than two people (give or take) upset with each other. )
It seems like it'd be simpler to call the whole thing off. Carrying a grudge without understanding why feels more like a curse, to me.
