Comment by Halima_lime on Blossoms of the White Night - Chapter 21

@Halima_lime   i think he sees it more as an obligation than a relationship, but now that the white haired dude is like wow i love u i want u to be mine he's slowly learning to trust him

@Halima_lime   he just wants to protect the child. Now he still wants to protect padishakh. Do not misunderstand Tei. He actually still is not in love with Shuraka. He tolerates and surrenders himself since he took that obligation to be a bride in a past when he was 22 years old. He is a serious man. He cant take his words back. Its all politics and morals for him. 
He was 22 and loyal to the crown. He is now 37 and still loyal to that. He lived his life like this.
