[androgynous]

What an idiot! I don't mean he has to be with her, but how he be so insensitive to her feelings! It's as he's asking her to join another man harem! No wonder his old apprentices killed him

While though Seika is seemingly dense that isn’t the reason for his bringing up the harem all Seika wants for Ifa is to be happy and do what she wants. He even states he would be lonely but knows that keeping Ifa from true happiness would be horrible thing which is why he states that he’ll go through the process of setting her free instead of outright letting the prince buy her instead.

So what exactly was the reason for him going back on his word and instigating the topic?

Supporting her growth is great, but he's still an idiot for the way he goes about it.
