Except he's crazier than she thought she can handle. Poor citizen, yes, but I would run away too if I can no longer control the situation.
With how much he desires and respects her I doubt he would kill her.
It's not really her safety she's worried about. I mean she's inherently a good person. She doesn't want to harm people unnecessarily nor does she find joy in other people's torture. There's also the fact that her feeling and his feeling are different. If he can't accept that, it'd be hella uncomfortable.
Run away and let a tyrant you’ve bred on a rampage searching for you and be the cause of why the empire is as worse as it was or stay and knock some sense into him, y’all this is crazy we gonna see him kill for nothing just cause she’s running away WHY poor citizens man she bred him bruh own up for your psycho child that you raised girl! It’s so simple! You crazy.
