im not ignoring the stuff the king put him through but after twenty years and seeing ilics mindset about their relationship now, i believe he does like the king romantically and refuses to believe it himself lmao. not trying to be delusional but from all the context clues ilic refuses the king’s own affection outwardly still but his mind seeks his presence and even craves it
because his own pride as an independent mercenary, he won’t ask the king to treat him gently or admit he even feels the same way. which brings us to these types of fights where ilic runs off and comes back in a hurry because he’s too afraid to say he missed him too. they have such a love hate relationship it’s hilarious
