I read it as hope; like a hope for the future with said person or a form of attachment and reliance/dependency on a person. He is just a child who will easily cling to this warm embrace (acceptance).
However, this can become a cruel and painful blade against the prince since this attachment just became his weakness; where others can easily exploit or target.
He is too young to hide or back away from this feeling and he is too young to defend or protect this one weakness.
So yea... that's a really ominous message...
Why did they narrate it like that?? What do you mean the merciless blade of anticipation?? What do you mean he's too young to get rid of it?? What's gonna happen?!?!?
