What if the magician is just really REALLY bad with words, when he say struggle harder, he means try harder/ work harder? That will be cute

If he is, I wouldn't find it cute.
He just ruined mc's life, it can't be fixed with a simple "oh it's a misunderstanding, sorry" kind a thing. And say "aww he didn't mean it"- like that's fucked up.
She became obsessed with his "prophecy" that she ruined her dream and childhood. Even if that lead her to the ml and happy ever after-etc., the end doesn't justify the means- some people say.
Honestly I would hope that he's an asshole so my anger and hate is justified. If he really cared (what he just said was a total lie to me) he would continue to teach the MC because everyone could see that she wants to be a magician and is putting in effort.
No offense and I respect your opinions, but I would fucking flip if it turns out as you say.

Also just a quick note
(If it turns out as you say)
Him becoming a misunderstood person does not excuse the suffering he put the MC through.
Even if it's a misunderstanding
(Just saying) ┐(´ー`)┌
Even the prince in my book is a fucking asshole. He's friends with the MCs husband and he can't learn common courtesy- like bruh. →_→
(Honestly everyone in this story is all EXTREMELY FLAWED. Too much in my opinion.
(Aight I guess this want "quick" lmao. I'm sorry)
Bruh her mental age is 60+ and she's still a cutie
60+? Is she one of those cutie granmas? lmao
Oh she is the cutest grandma ever
