"He doesn't need me anymore"

Is exactly when mc realised ml was no longer a child that needed protection, their dynamic evolves in this chapter from guardian/master to prophesized king/ his promised wife, *beautiful*. They will need time to get to know eachother again (mostly mc) so they can be more comfortable opening up to eachother going forward, wtf why am I doing a monologue narration in the mangago comment section
