@toreshii, that may be true, but it can be interpreted another way. I think his arrogant smirk at the end could be from thought, that Blondina would be able to "glare at emperor". That she would be able to get back at her father, who neglected her.
Regarding his words, well, everything he said was true and he might've just been stating facts. It's sad, but it's the way Blondina living right now.
I agree, that bracelet was a reminder for her, but it can be perceived in positive way, it's not like it's a collar with his name on it.
I can't really be sure of his personality, I'll wait to see his actions in the future and then will judge him properly. Maybe I'm hoping for impossible and Phillip really is cliche noble boy, but I still wanted to give people another possible outlook on this character.
P.S.: you can add "@" before nickname, it will notify user you're addressing :>
