I'm thinking he must have a reason to pick this battle. He's too brilliant to do this without purpose and a plan for success to achieve his goals. One thing I figure is part of it is while he respects his family and elders, he's establishing that he will not be controlled. I've been seeing little hints of this from our beloved author throughout the story, so I suspect it's part of his purpose for causing a stir here. AND maybe get officially engaged and acknowledged too!đ€đ€đ€đ„°
