We have our ML who throughout his life was a tool to be manipulated. So his sense of love stems from an obsession. Since he can remember nothing was ever for him to decide. The closest thing to love was a bunny which was snatched away by an eagle. But you could say that instead of his parents teaching him to let go they reinforced the idea to pursue at the cost of a life. At his grown age he has learned from those around him love and companionship are tools used to manipulate others. Its also something he considers weak because love can not stop something bad from happening. But obsession can which was evident when he "saved" our MC. His need to control MC every move allowed him to keep MC "safe". ML believed his actions showed MC how much he "loved" him and even him saying he wanted a child proved he loves MC. But his twisted way of thiking causes more harm as the thought from point A to B are much more insane. Instead of saying I love you and wish for you to be by my side the ML fears the ppl who will try and pull them apart to fulfill their own selfish desire(such as the eagle from his past). And since he sees the MC as the prey he expects him to crack under pressure and choose his safety over ML love. And so he forces MC hand to keep him close which only drove MC further from him.
MC knows the pain of no love in childhood and wishes for his child to grow in a way that was not given to him. He chooses himself because the ML choose himself since he refused to change. With the separation you see ML understand his way of thinking is wrong and so he chooses to attack a system that was meant to control "royals".
I rlly enjoyed reading this. The ML was a red flag but it was interesting to see how his past affected his thinking. I love the MC for having the balls to save himself and I found it a bittersweet when he helped the ML realize that he loves the MC. I wanna say a 10/10 for me but I am a sucker for clichés >w<. Ik its not done but still this is my thoughs so far if any opinions change/I wanna add more character analysis to the ML I edit it. I would love to go more indepth with the MC way of thinking when it comes to ML before running away but im sure its pretty obvious why MC is headstrong and finds it hard to accept gifts/comfort from ML.
