@shionlee he doesn't care about her as a person, but she is still a princess. For maids to abuse her, steal from her, and try to murder her, it shows they lack respect for royalty. You can't have the peasantry start getting uppity. Even if she is a neglected princess, they should server her faithfully.
@Kynnath wow that makes me mad but it also makes perfect sense. i just felt strange that he's suddenly seeking 'justice' for her that i thought there were chapters i skipped lol
Bruh. He acts as if he didn't try to choke her out the day before. And also like he didn't abandon her to maids without paying any attention for her entire life. Not just any knight will assuage his worries? What should he do if someone tries to harm his child? Kindly fuck off. Reminds me of the tik tok tune trend "don't be tryna double back; I already despise you"
