I think *maybe* they're both disillusioned. I'm probably wrong, but that's what it seems to me.
What I mean is that FL sees the potential and the capability of the prince as king.
The problem is that the moment FL is no longer at his side as his fiance, he has no potential or capability.
Both the prince and the FL don't recognize that FL is what made the prince "kingly".
By indulging in his whims and being with the other fanciful, clumsy girl and abandoning his former fiance and childhood friend, he has become useless.
Again, I'm probably wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.
I don't get it
Let me point out several things that stand out like a sore thumb to me:
1. Why is the mc so obsessed with protecting the prince when clearly he is someone who doesn't remotely have their shit together??
2. The prince is supposed to be a person who's dignified and educated enough to know what to do in times of distress or at least have vassals who can help out in a positive manner, but this guy doesn't seem to be able to differentiate that.
3. The prince's vassals all seem like pieces of shits who indulge the prince's every whim and it's not the right thing to do because in the recent chapter we can clearly see how it has turned out.
4. Why is the story always revolving around the prince and never the FL actually growing. The story basically showed a few chapters and went "OH here you go your overpowered FL who has healed from everything".
