I'm having the same confusion here. It might be two things. He kissed him goodbye which doesn't mean anything since he sees him as a brother or he kissed him and get married because he knows they can't be together because they are both man. I just hope it's the first one.
I believe he had romantic feelings but thought that they’ll both be better if he left. So that they could follow what is the next expected step. He probably felt guilty and that being the eldest he had encouraged biased feelings.
It's clearly not romantic, just a respectful goodbye kiss on the hand. As you can see, the man's head is positioned far from the prince's face, maintaining clear distance. There's absolutely nothing in the image or Manhwa that suggests or implies anything inappropriate from him, let alone pedophilia.
You should go back and look at page 84, or picture whatever, and a little before that, he is stroking his head. Then he literally kisses him, and the prince’s face is turned towards him… I dunno in which scene where he kisses the hand?
And they were both quite young and grew up together…I dunno why everyone thinks everything is Pedophilia now. Like they could’ve been a few years apart and they grew up together. Feelings of love can naturally occur.
There’s absolutely nothing from his side that suggests he ever had romantic feelings towards the kid. If he’d truly felt that way, he would’ve come back on his own instead of waiting years to be called. Whatever “romance” people want to imagine was completely one sided. Please stop. The story is painful enough; don’t twist it into something it never was.

Blushing does not reliably imply romantic attraction.
Blushing is primarily a physiological response driven by the sympathetic nervous system, adrenaline causes blood vessels in the face to dilate, making the skin turn red. It happens in many situations that have nothing to do with romance. His blushing occurred because he was embarrassed and shameful for not keeping his promise. The position of the Prince’s head is further away from him.
But, am I wrong or did Sam actually have some romantic feelings for the king, because he kissed him before he left him??
I mean we don't see the nature of the kiss but..
Also he goes on about wanting to be the sole important person in the kings life before leaving soooo.... am I the only one who thinks this? or came to this conclusion?
