because he doesn't want to be a dragon? right...
No, because he changes interest on a different person every time. When he's with the prince he misses Saharah and when he's with Saharah he misses the prince. Saharah's the only one who has been loyal to him regardless and instead of being honest with him he just plans on leaving him alone? Thefuck?
Changes interests in a person? is this 4th grade valentine's day? the story is way more complex than that. Suu never admitted that he has feelings for the prince, when Suryeon is a man that he cannot trust. right now, Suu is coming to terms that there might be something there. When has he ever suggested that he has 'feelings for Saharah' (God I feel grade school typing that)? Saharah had been a young boy in his charge up until recently, but Saharah was also the person who he had to sacrifice his freedom for. someone who wishes to turn him into something inhuman. someone who he had no romantic feelings towards, and yet they are now being pressed down upon him. Suu cares for Saharah, don't get me wrong, but he feels no obligation towards him.
Suu should not be expected to have "feelings" for anyone.
When I say feelings I don't mean romantic, sorry my first language isn't English and I'm not sure how to express this correctly. But actually Suu was never forced into being a dragon, Saharah ASKED him and Suu said yes. The biggest reason they are together after the escape was because Suu would not even be alive if it were not for Saharah because he was about to be killed when Saharah came back and helped him escape. Saharah has been trying to make it as easy for Suu as possible by eating more so Suu doesn't have to and helping him whenever he asks. And all that Suu could think was to "escape" without telling Saharah anything. Like come on the LEAST he could do would be to tell him about his regrets and wanting to part ways. And Saharah would probably even let him go cause he genuinely cares. And then of course that desire to escape became a bit less prominent when he saw the heaps of gold Saharah had brought with him. I just don't like seeing Saharah used in general. I know Suu has his reasons but he owes him honesty at least like come on.
Go read chapter chapters 80-83 again. You'll see that they both use each other. And while Sahara did save Suu's life, he is also partially responsible for Suu being in danger in the first place.
In chapter 80, Suu has scales which shows that he was already transforming BEFORE Sahara "gave" him power in chapter 83, so that part wasn't his decision. Sahara feeding on him and the Crown Prince's blood were already affecting him before he asked for power.
In Chapter 81, Sahara admits to the Crown Prince that if Suu refused to be eaten, he would have to eat Suu against his will. The Crown prince also tells Sahara how to own a human, which is by giving them what they desire little by little. In that same chapter, Sahara tells Suu that he will give him anything he wants because he wants to own Suu. And so when Suu, who is already transforming, asks for power, Sahara gives it to him.
In chapter 83, we learn why Sahara chose Suu. He says "Fate never neglects its work. When one piece goes missing somewhere (Prince's blood), it always turns up in one form or another elsewhere (Suu). Just like you found me. Because you appeared before me, I chose you. To grow up through you." So Sahara is using Suu as a substitute to the Prince's blood to become a full dragon.
It's true that Suu uses Sahara's kindness and feelings to his advantage, like when he made it rain or to escape, but he's not the only manipulator here. Everybody is using each other!
Whether this was fated or not, we don't know yet! I sure hope they can all get along and become a 3-way couple or something UwU
Man fuck you Suu, gimme Saharah, none of y'all deserve him. Everyone just wants him for their own benefit like power and money. I wanna take my poor baby outta there ╥﹏╥
