He comes from a good place, dw, it's because to him it looks like this stranger who is also a liar is just taking advantage of the duke's kindness (he doesn't know that this was suggested by the duke right) because not only has he not been punished for lying abt the princess stuff now he also wants to be a knight, he warms up to malocen soon enough tho, he means well
from what I've read, the knights didn't really understand abt their feelings or love in the first place. that's why when he found out, he was okay to take the d3ath penalty for doubted them lol (dw the duke wasn't some tyrant)
I think I missed something, why is that knight so against the prince being there? Like I can understand why he didn't like him the beginning cause of the situation they were put in, but at this point the prince has only been nice and kept his head down. If even the duke likes him, then why is the knight over stepping and trying to throw the prince out?
