Right? Erez respected her and never once thought she was weak, he always supported her. I love him! Joseph was cute, but I don't feel like he really loved her in a romantic way, he was misconstruing his need to protect her as her knight for romantic feelings.
I've actually read so many stories in which the emperor or the grand duke or the knight becomes the male lead. The magician is usually the third love interest. I love that erez is the lead and that he has such a unique and mischievous personality. He's is definitely not cookie cutter cold and aloof or an arrogant guy, who goes 'how interesting...' Also, it was difficult for me to like the knight because of his skewed priorities. The nail in the coffin was that despite not knowing anything about the situation, he still tried to stop Keira from going to the magician tower. He could atleast tell that the situation was serious and she needed help! But he brought his personal feelings in a urgent situation, confused her and she could not make the trip. Thankfully, she atleast contacted him through the communication stone, but I knew then. Erez always prioritized Keira's autonomy and knew she had her reasons, but the knight, despite her being his Superior and captain, only saw her as someone to be protected.
