He'll (ML or MC) likely to die if he goes back in the dungeon better he tell the ML the truth so he can protect him and learn to open his eyes confidently without worries. Like , he need to learn how to use his magic eyes. He's magic is very useful if he knows the proper way to use it I'm sure they can win and he can gain his freedom and name.

You don't understand bro. He grew up all his life being shunned and being labeled as a cursed or dangerous. If learning how to use his "magic eyes" was that easy then he wouldn't have to suffer all his life. If it was that easy then his family wouldn't have put him in a cell because he was dangerous. It's not that easy especially when he's literally treated worse than a dog. Mc is sacrificing himself right now for the sake of the Ml because he knows his brother will keep on sending guides until he kills the Ml. You gotta put yourself in his shoes. Mc loves his family, especially his brother. If not love, I'd say cherish? Or whatever. He dreams to be happy with his family that's why he accepted the mission to kill the prince.
You should read the story again so you'll understand. The prophecy is clearly saying that mc will kill ml in the near future. Everyone knows about that prophecy. What will happen if they find out about MC's true identity? You have to wake up. Ml isn't a saint. He isn't kind nor is he that forgiving. It was clearly stated that count cluster or whatever his name is was unlucky because it was ml who would be dealing with him. Ml and the others are hostile and cautious about the cryptic assassin and it was showed a lot of times in the earlier chapters.
Telling the truth is like confessing that he's a traitor which he is. He's literally the cryptic assassin who killed many people in the past 7 years. Even if he tells the ml the truth, it's not guaranteed that he will react to that news calmly nor positively. The ml knew the mc as a poor, abused prostitute and not some assassin who killed many people. Open your eyes and understand the story. No offense but let's be real here. Going back might not be the right choice but it's certainly the best choice in his perspective. It's better to sacrifice himself than hurt the one whom he loves. Understand. It.

Also, he wouldn't die that quickly if he comes back. He's still useful to them. He might be tortured or punished but they won't kill him. He's their strongest offense at the moment. One look will it take to kill a person for the mc. That's why he was ought to be alive until he kills the prince. If he did kill the prince and came back, then his life is done for. That's his purpose. Kill the prince, end the war and die.
The prince's still alive so that means the mc is still useful to them.
Stupid, want yo be lock up in the dungeon and eat cold food in the floor.. okay then good luck. .
