It’s not really a red flag. He was never taught kindness or how to care or love. He was taught through fear and betrayal. He’s the absolute perfect gentleman. He checks every single box. Not a single thing he does is less than flawless. He isn’t obligated to help out in this situation and so he doesn’t. He’s written this way because he’s lived this way. Actually she is the one who is weird for the era. It’s like she’s a modern woman but this isn’t an isekai. He has a lot of character development to go through when he learns life isn’t ONLY betrayal and pain. She will always remain a hapless and helpless damsel.
