At the beginning, yes. Because of the her looks, he tought that she is reincarnated princess whom he loved( i m talking about the magic boy) while prince indured and have been keeping his feelings till the end and even went mad when she ran away. The mage than started to see her as she is, however i really want her to be with prince
Yeah, i know this is cruel. But, he did that after he become mad. He was madly in love with her, and after her disappearance he could not contain himself and so imprisoned her, so she will be by hos side. He, himself realise that this is cruel but can not still do another thing due to his felling of love, fear. Its similar to how mothers pritect their child absurdly after he or she went missing (of course im talking to rare cases where people are not mentally stable enough to endure this). Im not justifying his abusive nature or smth like that, but i just hate more of her being used to be a substitute.
Like, i mean, if she had talked to him and not rejected or pushed away him and, in opposite, confronted him, i think his mental stability might have improved and after that she would gradually be free from him. It just how it works with people who have this type of problem (or with nervous system, i know, as my lil sister was like that, she was really mad and irritating due to problems in the moment she was born and so we agreed to almost everything or just tricked her for 3 years, and she became normal and now got less troublesome).
A sister will then regret her actions after her marriage to the prince, while prince then go mad after leilas escape and as he is addicted with leila. U know, i truly want Leila to be with Prince as he from the beginning loved her dearly, while this magic boy just will use firstly her as substitude. Ikd why she has fallen for him while knowing he is sweet with her because she remind him a princess amelia.
