I know right I think everyone skip that chapter or forgot Because everyone seems to say well duuuuu she is the only opposite sex
Ik. Like she literally gave him a pet bc she probably knew no one his age would willingly come to the ice castle without shitting themselves on their way, when they heard or when they arrive. Also with the fact that they’d be scared pissless seeing how the ML was terrified of her when he first met her.
People just need to reread SO THEY remember
It’s understandable humans forget small important information most of the time
No bc y'all can't always blame the guarding for his lack of friends and knowing like 0 girl. She clearly tried taking him to the capital for various reasons and he refused many times, and I doubt a young lady, especially noble, would want to go meet the ice queen and stay at her ice castle. Especially with her reputation as an evil witch.
