What an idiot. I'm not sure which is worse, considering her a toy instead of a partner, giving such a romantic speech yet ending it with toy instead of wife, or not realizing her reaction to such. In any case, guy definitely needs someone willing to pound some common sense into his skull without worrying about him being a prince. The time spent convalescing will allow him to reflect. Wish they hadn't jumped the scene forward, especially without saying if it's the same day or just hours later. Hope find out whether prince has a sense of danger and managed to escape or will wake up surprised in a wall later. MC definitely keeping the economy going by suppling the workers doing all the repairs with numerous jobs, just hope they don't collapse from exhaustion.
