I think... I think I'll give him some grace. Don't get me wrong, I don't like him. His design is bland and he is a bad partner and his personality is trash. But as far as I am concerned my dude can be recycled. There is nothing wrong with wanting your partner to stay close by, medieval long distance might be even worse, but he does not want her to fail. While these wishes are conflicting, that's actually a good start. Be just needs to take a step back here, put his wants at the back of the line anc prioritize her
I think separation, after a LONG ASS TALK, might be the best way for them to salvage their relationship. They can clear up the misunderstanding, he can acknowledge his mistakes towards her and plan to be pen pals for her stay in the other kingdom. If he actually helps her out with the studies until she goes abroad, they might even start their "pause" on a positive note. But even just saying away to avoid any big emotions could also be good.
Now while this author has quite gracefully avoided horrendous tropes, I fear that the cunt Claude might become the second male lead that is barely better than the first and will result in a lot of useless misunderstandings. With a little luck he might be just a platonic friend that gets his head put straight by being next to her... I god please I hope so... At least his design is more appealing
