Even on Kate's judgement family discussion, he didn't pick any side.
I never said that Alfred ever guided Damian. As much as Batfam fandom portray him as Holy Saint, The Best of The Best or something, he's passive as heck. Like Damian said, he just reacted. Heck, he didn't even guide Bruce when he build his own secret prison, how can anyone expect him guide Damian? Well, he only did his butler's job, protect his master, console his master, prepare his master's need, etc. Damian's morality guide is not Alfred's responsibility.
My point is, Alfred is probably the only one who repeatedly talk to him and make Damian believes that even after everything that happened, Bruce cares for him. Now Alfred is gone, and Bruce didn't show any sign of care, there's nothing stops Damian for slipping into darkness.
