Could've fooled me with the way he speaks and acts.
I think he does like her but has some issues with jealousy and maybe a inferiority complex as she was praising her assistant
That is exactly what it is.
"I'm gonna tell the woman that I love that she is replaceable as queen, surely this will not breed resentment" he's lucky that she loves him and her country is at stake.
And she is more capable since she was young due to having her past memories so he was most likely compared to her
Me thinks it may be pettier than that, not "show she is replaceable as the queen", but "make her jealous of me getting along with this new girl". But he prolly has some noble royal doctrine of treating all saints well or catastrophe may strike or so.
Yes he’s definitely trying to make her jealous. And it’s not working. She’s definitely going to leave. He’s going to shock. The new saint will try to be queen and do a horrible job. Then he’s going to find the FL and beg her to come back because he finally sees how valuable she truly was.
He also thinks that she loves that guy she is always with
Bro its the most annoying trope. The queen and king like each other but have the worst communication.
