im pretty sure ur rught but id like to add i tthink he also does it to rmbr why hes still alive rememberiing her suffering and frustration. they saiid a nurse who had an abortion. what uff shhes a nurse who was caring for kishir when he was unconscious so prince got annoyed ans lnoclked. her up and she probs haad to abort the child and leet out the frustration on kishir and kishir with his guilt carries her portrait or itts a. momento for someone else of someone else died in the war he kept as remembrance

what if the girl in the locket is that nurse that helped him after he was rescued and tortured (i think there was a scene a few ch back) and she knew the truth. and the prince killed her to shut her up as a witness. and now that he knows that ml has her photo in his locket, he’s going to try to messed with fl and ml. ml might be wanting to get justice for the red hair girls death or something.
