There we go, the emotional crutch. He's coming from an abusive toxic high stress background. That is obvious (How incompetent his father emperor is, is a topic for another day. Like seriously? How do you not know your son's level, education, and physical abilities to set up this match. Lol. Don't blame your son or the other country for your bad ego show with children) That's why it's so easy to emotionally bind him. Critical hit this chapter. That's why I'm thinking, 1. Why didn't the original Ivy hit him in the feels then as a kid. He's often over at her house due to training? It really isn't hard to be nice to another kid/childhood friend. 2. Is this going to be a misunderstood toxic 'love'? Her replacing the emotional bonds he lost with his mother's death?
