He verbally abuses her, shows up without warning, and is now asking why she's leaving. After a while ass decade of ignoring her and verbally denouncing her. Get this guy outta here
HOLD THE FUCK UP.
So you're telling me he falls in love the other chick, due to political reasons he can't break off the engagement so he murders her, and now HE IS THE ML??? What the actual hell.
Ahhh that explains why they kissed. Sorta just thought he wanted to do it. Like maybe he could have transferred his mana to her through physical touch, but where's the fun in that?
