At first I was like “why not just say: she was saved by him, so she fell in love with him. That way the heartbreak is minimal” and than i remembered that he has to kill him in a year. so who’s to say that the protaganist won’t leave far away so he doesn’t have to deal with the heart break. and I also thought of the quote “keep your friends close, keep your enemys closer”. So its a better method to manipulate him by using the girl and grow closer to the protagonist that way he’ll have know where he is at all times and have better methods to backstab him.
