From what i got so far, when abel dies, they will manipulate the prince by providing him with regas/nannys (idk) that look like abel. So it's important that abel comes back looking completely different, releasing the prince from the control of the evil guys
Is it possible ml's father purposefully sent him away from the palace to protect him? He even sent him away with the trustworthy knight
Yes he did.
