Mullet boy has always been a daring one, even when he was supposed to be a servant, serving you who is a monarch. His clingy behavior got bad to the point the council had no choice but to promote him as royal assistant, in hopes of him to stop with his reckless behavior towards you. That didn't stop anything, he was still following you everywhere like a lost dog.

Even as he serves you your tea with a fond gaze, he's not doing this to become a ruler beside you. He genuinely finds you doting.
