Hes both overthinking and clueless our poor baby ╥﹏╥ he wants to be able to prove himself worthy to his country but at the same time wants to be worthy towards shuraka. I think it might be too soon to say love right now but its very clear that tei wants shuraka to dote on tei as his bride (and bc shuraka was always by tei’s side when he was a child)
I agree w u! I think his intention to move forward w being Shuraka’s bride was due to politics and his own pride as a Leracalian but i also think he has a soft spot for Shuraka (because he wanted to protect shuraka when shuraka was a kid). But now that Shuraka is grown up, Tei is conflicted bc he feels frustrated when Shuraka doesnt need him, or has concubines, etc. I think we are witnessing the early stages of Tei developing feelings, but I’m not sure because he’s very occupied with his politics. plus hes a little clueless and doesnt know how much Shuraka yearns for him ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

I... think Tei is too overthinking? uh... or I'm just too clueless? well uh, maybe he love shuraka that makes him overthinking? or I'm just being stupid?
