Well... he did not misunderstand.. he was indeed planning to leave... and with someone else on top of that.
He DID misunderstood the conversation....and, it seems like you did too.
You don't seem to get what I wrote. Instead of jumping on misunderstanding wagon or exposing poor conjugation, see the bigger picture.
- Fact 1: Leave - He was talking about his plans to leave.
- Fact 2: Invitation - He invited his friend.
- Fact 3: Hug - He hugged his friend.
All those 3 events will irritate the ML and no "clarification" (dissimulation of so-called misunderstanding) will alleviate his anger.
He does not need to misunderstand the relation of the MC and his friend to be pissed. He will be pissed regardless. This whole situation is inherently irritating given the ML's obsession.
You may want to believe that the ML misunderstood their encounter as a "romantic rendez-vous". My point dwells on the idea that the leaving, the invitation and the hugging need no further understanding.
You're so funny . You may not have realized it but you already pointed out the misunderstanding in your rant.
He wasn't there at the start of the conversation, so, he most likely didn't hear the reason MC wants to leave. He also didn't hear the MC saying being apart from the prince will cause him heart ache.
Given his obsessive nature, he'll try to fill in the gap and come up with the worst possible reason.... THAT is the misunderstanding.
So....Yes! The idea your points dwell on is exactly the birth of the misunderstanding and the prince does need further understanding/clarification.
The prince did not hear the entire conversation! Drawing conclusion on the parts he heard/saw (especially given his obsessive nature) is dangerous/scary for the MC and everyone close to him (there'll be a lot of collateral damage and unnecessary pain).
You talk about bigger picture, yet you fail to see it.

You think I write my eyes closed also, Sherlock? [You may want to believe that the ML misunderstood their encounter as a "romantic rendez-vous".]

You might as well be acting as if he had heard the whole conversation from the beginning, he would still be fine with the MC leaving, inviting his friend and hugged him. Whether you want to believe he misunderstood and if he did not, the outcome will be the same: anger. The idea that "misunderstanding" is a precursor to anything is a stretch since the situation itself, understanding or not, will piss him off.
I will try to rephrase my point a last time, because I strongly feel like you are deliberately missing the nail. My point is mine, not yours.
[My point dwells on the idea that the leaving, the invitation and the hugging need no further understanding.]
Basic realities such as: a hug, a will to leave and a will to leave with someone else would not be misunderstood. Your idea is that the prince will fill the gap and will misunderstand in the process. I am not basing my statement on the interpretation of the Prince on those events, but their acknowledgement.
Did he hug someone else? Yes. Did he invite that person? Yes. Did he plan to leave? Yes. Those three facts will irritate the ML. Any filling the gap, as you put it, won't change the fact that those three events incurred. Rather than why they happened ("Drawing conclusion" as you say), the Prince will be enraged mostly because they happened the way they did.
To misunderstand, you have to assume or misinterpret. But there is not assumption or misinterpretation involving in assessing YES/NO questions reflecting my prose. My statement is not probing into "WHY" questions like yours as you mention "drawing conclusions" and "hear the reason". Besides, he already heard the reasons of the MC wanting to leave in previous chapters and he did not give a damn.
Go back to my first reply: [he did not misunderstand.. he was indeed planning to leave... and with someone else on top of that.]
- The question is not: did he misunderstand about WHY the MC is leaving? The question is: did he misunderstand about the MC willingness to leave? No. He is aware the MC wants to leave and does not like that. Any mention, slight or complete, of leaving will displease the Prince.
- The question is not: did he misunderstand about WHY the MC invited his friend? The question is: did he misunderstand about the MC willingness to invite his friend? Whether he heard this part or not, the answer will remain no. If he did not hear this part, this whole fact-question is irrelevant and can be dismissed. If he did hear, even slightly, the answer will remain "no", because he indeed invited his friend; the Prince does not like the idea that the MC will fine leaving and living with someone else than him.
- The question is not: did he misunderstand about WHY the MC hugged his friend? The question is: did he misunderstand about the MC hugging his friend? No, he saw the MC being intimate with someone else and he does not like.
You may want to focus on misunderstanding the intentions of the MC or the undertone of this scenery. Me, I rest my case on facts not being misunderstood, more precisely, being acknowledged.
>"The prince did not hear the entire conversation!"
If he heard the conversation, he would have not misunderstood the MC was planning to leave and with someone else on top of that. Facts #1-#3 will irk the Prince.
If he did not fully hear the conversation, Facts #1-2 may be dismissed; and the premise, adjusted to your faculties, would be : he did not misunderstand that the MC was hugging someone else. Fact #3 will irk the prince.
The picture is: the MC and someone else going through Facts #1-#3. [This whole situation is inherently irritating given the ML's obsession. ] I-N-H-E-R-E-N-T-L-Y.
Can you see the difference between what I am saying and what you are saying or mon français est tellement perché que je donne l'impression de ne pas parler anglais?
Again, pointless ranting. You really are hilarious
It was definitely the Imperial lunatic eavesdropping and misunderstanding things, I'm scared for his friend
