I see a lot of people here who have been gaslit by battle shounen, sorry not every problem can be solved by using violence. This is a problem that requires a different approach. Also would be better if the piggy got stripped of nobility and was forced to live as a peasant.
This is the childhood friend character arc, never seal the deal, just make him an orbiting simp, and then panik when a girl realizes he's a catch and raises every flag in succession. It's why I hate the trope of a childhood friend.
