Wait, THAT was his plan? I thought he was supposed to be super smart, and talented. Also he was supposed to be good at hiding his true nature. When he talked about MC not being around I thought he was gonna try to frame MC for something, or grab the girl from class and force himself on her, or have some brainwash ability for her or something. It was literally just trying to ask the princess to tea, then attack her when she turns you down? Also, he better get in trouble for bearing his weapon against the princess.
