The person standing before him was the one leading the army of his enemies and at the same time, he was still the elder brother of the one he had feelings for.
What was he supposed to do? Fight him for his people or let him go for her?
He knew even if he decided to do the latter, the Prince would never let him go until he took his head back to the kingdom.
But then, he couldn't kill her brother because he knew how devastated she would be if she found out that he was the reason behind her brother's death.
