I love that Leo appears to be truly cherished in the other kingdom, it just makes me happy to know he's found happiness after losing his family like that.
"why does it feel like I'm taking on a chore he doesn't wanna do?" That's because he doesn't wanna be buried under paperwork when he really wants to run back home to his wife as quickly as humanly possible.
I love the Princess' apology!!! That's how it should be, damn. You send someone to risk their lives, the least you could do is thank them and do what you can
