Yeah it's def not selfish in this case. Esp considering he'd be killing Kyung Joo too while baby wouldn't even be guaranteed to live, PLUS a life as an orphan would be pretty shitty at best and actual hell at worst.
and even if he WAS I don't see why people condemn prioritizing yourself so much unless you're being a toxic piece of shit about it.
As he should what a king I love how consistent and realistic his character is, breathe of fresh air among all these dramatically self-sacraficing protagonists lmao. Choosing yourself is okay, and being selfish is also okay.
