he say that but in fact he is the one who isolate her!! i dont dislike the little girl because she is just scared since she is in an unknow wolrd. She cling to the prince because he is kind to her since she doesnt know anything she believe everithing he says. Of course i prefer our heroine who is hard working ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
if she try to think a it for herself maybe she wouldnt be alone and hate!
At first i though he was pitiful but at the end i revise my opinion. It took him to be misunderstood as gay to take action
To add by the one he loves.
Rigth he didnt care when everyone else though he was interested in man
