@squishy she spent so much time by him but doesn't know how straightforwardly he takes things? Believes him to be so down bad that he would abandon everything for the princess who doesn't have the mc aura? If he was the female and talked about her boss/childhood friend all the time then you'd be on his side fir this misunderstanding that mc has never directly asked about and later ignores the explanation of. And if not you the majority of the comments.
