He knows that ultimately he is the face and hands that ruined their lives. It doesn’t matter that he was a puppet. Of course there is nuance here, but to those directly involved, what does it really change? If they thought the prince was behind it all and liked the king, cool, he should tell them, but they blame them both.
it’s probably because he feels guilty about it and it would just come off as an excuse to the people he wronged.
it’s easy to blurt out that you were forced and didn’t want to, but it’s another for the boy to see his true nature and actions first hand (like when the boy noticed his expression after talking about the emperor) things like that go way further than just pleading your innocence

I really don’t get ML characters that get jealous over children. Yeah, they exist in real life, but it’s usually a red flag.

I dunno why he didn’t said to the boy that he was under emperor’s control all that time
