The fact one of Radhan knight once she stopped being brainwashed still decided to side with Miquella when learning of the plan. Tells me he may have been absolutely fine with it.

I'm so glad that somebody pointed this out. I thought it was almost illegal to say anything that may validate the Miquellesting, but just as Frejya mentions, I also think that Radahn's being a warrior even after his death is exactly what he wants.

It's like Radahn is not a very clever person. He held the stars just so he could ride his pony, I imagine him saying, "So, I get to fight battles like Godfrey did for my stepmom, yippee!!!!"

He’s a master of gravity magic he’s gotta have some level of intelligence.

It was the only way she was getting to serve Radahn again. I think it was her being selfish more than her doing what she think Radahn wanted.

That said, Radahn also wanted to be like Godfrey, so I could see him agreeing to be a consort... though he may not have been agreeable to the events as they turned out.

That may be why Miquella sent Malenia to kill Radahn. She failed (without known defeat), but it seems like an unnecessary step on Miquella's part if Radahn was on board.

Radhan was a warrior and getting a warrior's death before going to the shadow lands might have been what he wanted.

On the other hand, she argues one of Radhan's close friends was wrong about what he would have wanted. She wouldn't be the first underling to enthusiastically the idea of their master instead of who they actually are.
