Lets take a look at Wilkins' red flag collection:
• Anger management issues
• Tries to break up a family for personal benefit
• Two faced personality, acting happy around one person, then immediately turning hostile to others
• Hypocritical philosophy, telling someone that happiness is the most important thing while conspiring to take them away from their happy life

But that's my just take. Even without any of that, as soon as he got on her brother's bad side, he already lost.

@icekatze true, I'm very weak to the knight romantic interest but he sure isn't well suited to be with her. I think the mage is better, at least he is more honest.

@icekatze : For 1 and 3, jealousy and emotional turmoil will do that. Also it's not really two faced if he like one person and dislike another (again, jealousy) otherwise every human on earth would be two faced.
Hell, those two points can be turned to the little brother here as well. He over reacted to her minor injury and is hostile to the knight even though the latter is a noble (remember part of the reason why the asshole merchant got away with so many of his shit?)

For 2 and 4 I'd put it under difference in value. He think that she'd be happier with what she'll get in the capital (note that he never said only her need to go and that her brother can't) because in case you forgot:
In the capital she's a war hero, with titles and other rewards that she turned down.
vs
This town where so far there's at least 2 group of people who looked down on her and most people doesn't even recognize her effort in the war.
From a 3rd party's POV, the capital is a much better place for her to be in just from what we've seen.

The knight archetype is very cool, and I also tend to gravitate toward it. Although, in this particular story I feel like, rather than the people who try to oppose Clarence and get quickly taken down, all the love interests that are trying to drag her back into the life she wanted to escape are the real foes. 😋

At least narratively speaking, in terms of answering the dramatic questions of the 1st act, will she be able to escape? (Metaphorically, on page 18 of chapter 2, she even thinks "sometimes you need that kind of escape," referring to an escape into books, while she gets a job at a bookstore.) And will she find happiness, after she rejected the notion that killing people in war should be rewarded. (A happiness outside her life as a knight.)

It's not two-faced to like people differently, but he doesn't even know Clive, and he pulls really underhanded moves on someone he doesn't know right off the bat.

Clive tells him that Clarence won't be going back to the capitol, and when Clive argues the point, he cuts him off by telling him something he knows will derail the topic and deflect attention away from himself. Then when his deflection succeeds, he belittles Clive for being concerned about the thing he made him concerned about.

"Do you not understand who your sister is?" He asks. He acts like he understands.

I definitely remember her turning down the benefits and prestige that comes with being a war hero. It was not something she did on a whim. It reminded me of one of the few times my late grandfather talked about his experience going to war, and that unwavering ethic was a big part of what attracted me to the story.

If Wilkins thinks she'll be happier in the capitol, I daresay that Wilkins is the one who doesn't understand who Clarence is. Makes me suspect he loves the idea of her more than he loves her.

The very first word in the first chapter of this story was "choose." Will you live just for the sake of it, or will you earn the chance to change your future? I daresay, if she wasn't the type of person to prefer the hardship of forging her own destiny, rather than going with the flow, she wouldn't have become a knight in the first place.

That was rude, he hasn't seen his sister in so long regardless of her being a knight there's nothing wrong with her little brother being protective with his sister when she finally free from fighting. I think it's cute they're so close after the separation and they really only have each other, and their stepsister kinda, so it's not strange he's protective of her
