Super strict like he even needs to go back home at an exact date or he needs to know where hes at? Required Kisses before they part ways every morning and points if he did a good job, and it seems like it was a mainting points so he could commute by himself and his brother wouldnt fetch him to school?! Like wtf is he a grade school. Are we forgetting that hes in college now??

My guess is he liked her first and was the one who requested for marriage but bec of the subjugation and war he had change he was obviously got traumatize with the war so traumatize he didnt want his child toexperience suffering in this world

Now that makes sense. That's the only reason he was scared of hearing the news. I wonder why he said something cruel in the jail? Maybe he thought that the king will spare her, so he thought maybe saying something cruel will make her forget about him and live a new life with the child but it got backward.
It ruins the mood that was building up. Or maybe that should move into an extra chapter. This was supposed to be the story of the main couple but the author lookslike have more story to tell for the 2nd couple
