Love that the first time we meet August he immediately grabs Wille´s face and establishes himself as a disrespectful force of intrusion who ignores whatever boundaries Wille might have. As a viewer you wonder, hey, can he just do that? Who is he? Like, he´s totally on par with the queen on that one since we just saw her slap Wille´s finger out of his mouth at the palace. (Not to mention she also checked Wille´s face/make-up before that, which is the first time we see her touch her son in the show and it´s about appearances, which is then mirrored by August´s comment here, how you can barely notice the bruises.)
We learn right away, yes, August can and will mess with Wille and Wille will be forced to deal with that whether he wants to or not and then we learn why: August IS the royal familiy at Hillerska. And it´s just what they do.
One gesture.
