Maybe he was the one who messed with her sash of time... so she was went into the past... such as Marion died young maybe it has something to do with her and Leo being together so Leo decided to watch over Marion reincarnation Rio without coming into contact but Che happened to die young due to being falsely accused so Leo messed with the sash and turned back time and decided that this time instead of just watching over her he was going to be by her side to protect her.... that’s why he pretended to be hurt and asked her to heal him and offer her to be his kin because he know the light attribute could endanger her... as we saw from the god of water the turtle they could fake injuries since the turtle use that to test her.
Omg yess!!!
As long as the crown prince isn’t the ml I’m good. They’re kinda hinting she is her ancestor’s reincarnation and might pair her with the earth god Leo and I’m cool with that after they age her up to 18
