This is so funny cause, it's not like he doesn't care abt Elincia (right now), it's just that with that teeny tiny scratch that you can't even see with the naked eye, she thought the king would be frantic over her. Like be fr, nobody care abt you being the mc that much.
@Sweet potato And rationally , lets be blunt she's over 16 and from their view point an adult. A little kid gets a scrape yes you fuss over them a bit,beacuse it's little kid, an older teen, is expected to be able deal with a minor scape themselves and not raise a fuss. Now throw in she's supposed to have been raised as a commoner, not a precious princess treated like a hot house flower, her causing a scene over something that didn't even break the skin, is even weirder. He** the 'princess' got whipped worse regularly as a child and was expected to not cry.
