I don’t think you understand, like if you asked me do you want to have children I would say no but if it happened I would be okay with it. Like she straight up asked a poor dude who suffered from a young age and expected him to say yes, yet she never said I AM pregnant which would have probably led to a different reaction.
He had nothing and had been treated poorly as an illegitimate child of the emperor. He didn't even have the confidence to ask for her hand in marriage so how could they have kids? They would only be illegitimate and suffer the same fate he did.
Writers do this a lot to create misunderstandings, I do wish they'd just have the guy explain that he's not ready for kids, not that he doesn't want any.
Naw bye. He said he ain't want kids then changed his mind after she raised the child he didn't want, then threatens to take her child away. Nawwwwwwwwwww
