Could also be going to his head maybe? Like, the most powerful person in thr country wants you to tell them what to do, wants to please you, and you alone. You're all they really care about. It's insane but I could see someone having that manipulate them into feeling powerful and important. That it could.be intoxicating and change how you feel. It's a stretch for his character but I can kind of see it.
I'd like to think he's just using that knowledge to get the king to be a good king. Kind like toxin, 'yes, have my ass, but be good or I'll complain about it again!'

Hmm actually felt kinda bad for him in the last bit. It would kinda suck, someone you love will never love you back, they just don't swing that way. That is obviously where it would.end for most people and he just raped and forced to the point his love will never even like him as a friend again... It's sad in a sort of pathetic way.... he's clearly got issues and a personality disorder of some kind.
Ita also disgusting and awful what he's done to someone he claims to love. I'm not on his side in any way, just... so interesting to feel a glimmer of pity.
ML gives me Nicholas Galitzine vibes but Korean and I'm here for it. He's quite intense with the faces he pulls and it all feels very drunk on pheromones. Not sure what the plot is anymore but they're beautiful to look at ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
