Page 19: Honestly he sure does some leaps of logic (even tho he's right). Notably in WN none of such speculations were present. He decided to side with her mainly because he sympathized with what he thought is a voice curse making others hate her as his eye curse does. Kinda posessive and creepy, but here he just randomly goes "she gotta be the root cause of it all, but Imma do nothing 'cause, uh, she saved me?"
I also find it to be a weird conclusion. He saw her talking to a Mandragora, not making it. In my opinion it looks more like this Witch who specializes in plant magic just found a Mandragora and then told it not to hurt people before letting it free.

It makes way more sense that the source of the Undead-making-Mandragora would be all the Mandragora he's been planting in a dragon corpse on behalf of the Sorcerer.

Shouldn't she, you know, talk to him a bit more? Something like, "Hey, I used to be a human, and I'm trying to live a very not-murdery life. Could you help me?"

lmao im enjoying this so far, and im really liking the cursed knight. if this has a romance id be on his faction lol

almost everyone, more so the cursed knight, are just assuming things about the witch in her favor. the manga is really doubling down on the face card advantages 😂

theyre so delusional its reminding me of a 14 yr old girl's fantasies of her crush / dream guy, and everything the witch does, the cursed knight thinks its about/for him 😂 and of course the witch has no idea but hey why complain if you gain something from it 😂

this is not a manga about human morals i hope no kid reads this. defn interesting tho.

Went to re-read the older chapter to check, you're both right and wrong .-.

She tested and find out her voice is still lethal BEFORE finding him:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/e714d0eb-d926-4a6f-b1a2-feae7c94914d/18

He thought she was talking to him, but she was just talking aloud to practice. During her actual interaction with him she said nothing.
Oops! I didn't go back to read it and confirm and misremembered how the events unfolded. Him hearing her from afar (as she's unaware of his presence) and her learning her voice still kills happened simultaneously

I'm confused now as to why she thought he knew she could speak since, from her perspective, he never properly heard her talk otherwise he would have the curse mark on his chest.

Nah, can't blame him : in his eyes, she was the first person to treat him like an human. (Also, her face on Page 22 helps too lol)

Once again, Kindness can buy you more Loyalty than any money/rank ever could, especially after a lifetime of being hated.

It's in that same chapter I linked.
She heard his voice, seemingly replying to hers and that's how she found him collapsed nearby.

As for the curse mark, literally this chapter have him explains it: Cursed people are immune to effect of other curses (she's 'immune' to his eye that invoke hatred, he's immune to her curse voice)

No, she now gets that he did hear her back then and that his own curse saved him. But until this chapter when he confirmed he had heard her, she should have assumed that, since her voice was still lethal, yet he wasn't cursed, that he hadn't heard her back then (I mean, he was delirious and unresponsive as she was drooling all her fluids onto him) and did not know she could speak. As far as she could tell, he was responding to something else. He himself should not have assumed that the voice came from the witch; if the witch does not speak, and he heard a voice then he should assume that someone else was with the witch and talking to her, before the witch came to save him.

Again, the chapter showed the flow of events.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/e714d0eb-d926-4a6f-b1a2-feae7c94914d/18
He responded to her voice first (telling the stranger to go away, because, y'know, his own curse)

https://mangadex.org/chapter/e714d0eb-d926-4a6f-b1a2-feae7c94914d/20
She literally thought he might've collapsed because of her curse, then check but there's no mark.
Given she's a reincarnator and doesn't really know how her voice truly work, maybe she just assume he was far away enough to not be cursed but still was affected by it.

https://mangadex.org/chapter/e714d0eb-d926-4a6f-b1a2-feae7c94914d/29
On his POV, he felt an approaching presence.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/e714d0eb-d926-4a6f-b1a2-feae7c94914d/32
Woke up for a moment and saw her and nobody else.

And here's the one key point you seem to keep forgetting: HE RECOGNIZED SHE IS NOT AFFECTED BY HIS CURSE.
To his knowledge, for someone to not be affected by curse would means they're also cursed.
So if she is cursed as he expect (and 'confirmed' in this chapter) then it'd make sense for her to hide her voice and pretend to be mute, the same way he hid his cursed eye.
