Maybe because he was raped at 13. He doesn’t hate his daughter or blame her, he said he loved her.
There ends up being context later so lmk if you want spoilers. All I can say for now is he’s really not doing that bad given the circumstances. He meets her needs and seems to at least love her.
I think bro was raped by the previous queen. That's why he didnt like the og stepmother's obsessive behavior. And he says he loves his daughter he just doesnt have any idea how to properly express it given his history.
When I said maybe I meant it in a sarcastic tone because he was.
His attitude towards his daughter is concerning. Like why is he so reluctant to interact with her, she does nothing wrong and is so innocent! And sir whatever his name is, is also making me upset..
