Because of the cover photo I genuinely thought Abel our beloved mc, would just be the prince's parental figure. The person who would teach him to trust, love and to learn that not everyone or everything was out to hurt him. I thought the route this story would take was the prince being raised by Abel, a lil timeskip where he's a bit older, he will meet new characters his age who become his friends giving him platonic bonds whereas Abel being his familial attachment (along with the Ashler being an uncle of sorts) we stay in this arc as he learns what it means to have trusted peers. Then another timeskip where he's at the age he is in the dream, we finally get introduced to his 'love interest' someone who's incredibly different to the person he holds the highest regards of (aka Abel his father/mother) NEVERTHELESS them two fall in love with time and whatever slow burn that I thought the author was cooking. This is literal speed run of what I thought would happen. He gains more and more important pple along the way with Abel at his side but no.....whats coming ahead breaks my heart ;-;
