And you are right, he feels guilty because he thinks that ML was sentenced because of him , and he blames himself for that. ML uses MCs gulit feelings for his own sake. ML doesn't show blaming nature but keeps showing respect towards MC, but the tension will still be there.

Major spoilers:
MC will stay by MLs side, He even will get kidnapped. They will get married, but MC will be almost always chained to MLs side. ML will not let him leave his side. You can imagine Legs that want walk manhwa plot. That is what reminds me about this work.
