The protagonist seems more frustrated with his actions in the end then worrisome and even refers to him as “the man” instead of loving calling him by his first name and positively talking about him.

Furthermore she seems to realise that he is blinded due to the fact that he lives in such a dream world,  and only sees what is now,  not what will be.  She does not say that she doesn‘t love him,  but is worried that his feelings wil change as time goes by.

He seems unsatisfied with the women he has because it isn’t the woman he wants. He takes the young girl and yelled at her once and after that she became less resistant toward him and he began to train her. Even though he is getting the girl where he wants he is still enamored by

Bitterness rises in spite of herself. He only cares because he almost lost a six million dollar investment, that's all. He doesn't actually care for her, she's only here for his pleasure and the sooner she learns that the easier the rest of her life will be. She frowns at the prince and he only hiccups a small laugh, running his thumb over her lips.

When he finds her, he is so fixated on her that he feels this might lead somewhere because she continues to kiss him, hold hands and sleeps with him;

He loved her. He lost her. Now he'll challenge the time just to get her back in his arms...and his bed!
