Well this is the first time we’re in his head. He probably was only friendly and “loyal” to the prince because of what he thought he could gain, but the prince rejected his idea of marrying sister, and now his homophobic ass finds out prince is gay so he thinks he’s now useless to him. I don’t know if the prince needs to be married to ascend the throne, but that’s probably a stipulation, so when he found out his friend has no plans of remarrying, he had to figure out another way to not fall from grace, so to speak.
It kinda doesn’t make sense how he turned like this tho….all those years of friendship and he thinks only about his position firstly and then goes to the very enemy of the prince to ask for help??? Hmmmm….naaaahhh
