“Don’t date.”
Yves suddenly opened his mouth to protest when he heard you mention your intention to find a boyfriend. It seems he doesn't like you dating or getting married too soon.
“Personally, I want you to live a life without restraints. Your talents would be wasted if you were tied down to anything.”
Yves put a hand on your hair and was concentrating on curling your hair.
“From the moment a noble’s child is married off, you know how many constraints they have. Even if the noble system is mostly just name only, there is a silent promise.”
He wound his arms around your sides, then hugged you tight. He stayed still like that before speaking, voice annoyed.
“So, if you decided to bring a lover or anyone like that, you’d best be prepared. If they’re not as powerful as a dragon, I’m not going to accept it. No, even dragons aren’t worthy.”
When you asked what right he had to block you from dating, Yves avoided your eyes. Then, he muttered. “I don’t know, I’m not giving you up.”
So after all, he's just worried about your talent that's at risk of being wasted...
...right...?
