We just forgot how much of a manipulator he is. He literally wanted her before just because. He just happened to fall in love. He literally acts like trashta but male version. (I mean he's the cunning and smart version of her) He used his innocent face or facade to make people put their guard down. (He used to make people believe he was a playboy so nobles wouldn't feel threatened with him until he takes the throne, also he used his innocent look and action to make the queen fall for him, because he knew she lacked that kind of attention and love from sovieshu)
Nah he's a red flag but don't compare him to trashta the blood red lake. Trashta feels entitled to everything, Heinrey actually works for things he wants. Huge difference. He's manipulative sure but that's really part of the job. Trashta is just a narcissist with bottomless greed.
In rl, I'd want nothing to do with either
Nahhh really... she's a whole level of stupid
