He begins to think about whether or not his mother is actually talking about his own situation with Setz, or if she’s talking with setz’ perspective in mind – as in, she is being foolish in caring about him because he showed her some affection. As his mother goes onto saying that “One day, it’ll lose all it’s use and then we must remove them”, He overlaps his and Setz’ positions; after all, both of them would be removed if they lost everything that allowed them to stay at the palace. He feels a real kinship in some regards to Setz’ which is basically his main point of focus during his mum’s entire monologue.
With the Duck analogy, his mother is telling him that ducks often look to the first being they see as their mothers; she uses this analogy to convery that humans are similar when it comes to love/affection – that people often begin to care about the people who give them affection first, especially if they had never had any to begin with. She’s telling him not to become someone who genuinely cares for Setz just because she showed him some affection.
His mother is basically saying that Princess Setz lacks a position of power and is ultimately not going to be of any help to him – and should just be considered the same as the rest of the Imperial family. The reason she sent a gift – according to his mother – is to show affection and also to not seem pitiful as in, to not seem like she’s leeching off of him because she needs his help to survive the palace), so she can use him for some ulterior motive. When she says that “she won’t give you anything”, she’s basically saying that Princess Setz isn’t giving a gift out of pure sincerity – that she’s not ‘giving’ the gift freely.
I’m gonna try clarifying that the first half of this chapter because the translation is a little wonky – but I think I’ve got a general understanding of it! (what I say will be my own interpretation btw). I really am confused about the second half but that’s a whole other thing lmao.
