the person with trauma actually has issues with people now, who would have thought right? imagine being in a position where you can literally get killed anywhere at anytime, he was not wrong in thinking penny was someone suspicious. Notice how he's trying to earn her trust bcs he find her fascinating, and actually trusting her in return(in which he already does) bcs he found out shes not actually malicious? Yeah, none of the others have shown any of that towards her in the last 144 chapters. If he wasnt so traumatized and actually felt loved by anyone who didnt go after him for his crown, then he can actually make penny feel secure and safe with him.
I deadass don’t even care anymore ab anybody, I just want my girl to be happy like
