I don't think he ever was normal. He just kept his cool and controlled himself. The moment she started relying on him much more, he began to be possessive and treat her like she was his possession, so she wouldn't run away. He basically told her to be pliant and look pretty, and she will live (because that's what she wanted the most, to survive)
He did slaughter her whole kingdom. He was always shitty
Wasn't the ml kinda normalish? Isn't the way he's acting now kind of v diff to how he normally is or did I skip a few chaps
