about love

fr he only thinks with his dick, I thought that there might be some development since this was a vulnerable moment for Courtney but the smut must go on I guess

I think he does love her but it’s not what a normal person would call “love”. A normal humans love is very different from psychopaths love. He was born different and his brain is wired differently. He doesn’t feel big emotions. He doesn’t understand them. The reason he liked extreme BDSM is because it makes him feel things. Choking makes him feel fear, being naked in public makes him feel embarrassment and anxiety, being treated like a whore makes him feel shame. It’s the only time he can feel these emotions. Negative emotions are easier to simulate than happy ones are. I don’t think hes ever experienced something similar to the feeling of love as most humans feel it or joy or something like that. If you want him to express love in the “normal” way, you need to first teach him what that feels like. It’s actually why so many psychopaths go off the rails and commit crimes. It’s the only way they get to feel something strong enough that their body gets involved like when your heart beats out your chest when you’re scared or how your stomach is in your throat when you’re anxious or how shame feels like a boulder is sitting on your chest. As a prince too, he has been limited in what he can experience. Him allowing her to be above him in the pecking order is another way he’s experiencing something new.

yh, true. in reality he would rather dispose of her, but in this manhwa we will witness his character upgrade (i hope so)

I do think that she will train him into a better person but I sincerely doubt he will become a “normal” human after that. I don’t mind how unhinged he is, I just want him to stop hurting her in order to get what he wants. He can just ask for it and I’m sure she will do it so he’s just being immature by not asking.
