How tf do you not expect me to ship him with the prince??

Seriously, dude is like the FL and acting like the FL. Of course he would be charming to the original ML lol. I so ship it

Edit: Also I read the spoilers to the novel...And no spoilers myself, but readers be warned that there will be a lot of romance-bait, but nothing actually confirmed. So if you like that, well there's that or if you will be disappointed, it is what it is.
