Rozemyne will take on even the gods themselves in her quest to rescue Ferdinand. She speeds to Ahrensbach faster than Steifebrise, and as the battle against Lanzenave commences, Georgine finally begins her invasion. To war!
That is such an extremely unfair comparison that I almost have to conclude you came from an abusive household. Pinching her cheeks is a lot closer to a very strong hug or a noogie than it is to a literal stabbing, and both of the former are common expressions of affection.
I intentionally picked a ridiculously over the top example to show how little sense the argument makes. She gave him permission for, as you say, a gesture of affection, not to outright hurt her. And yet he abused this permission to do the latter and just plain up hurt her. It is entirely possible to pinch a cheek in a way that barely hurts or doesn’t hurt at all, and it is very clear that Rozemyne meant it that way.
But even IF she had given him permission to outright hurt her, that still makes him a sadist for actually doing it.
Now if his movements are still affected by the poison and he unintentionally hurt her far more than he intended, that would be fine, but in that case he should absolutely apologize for going too far. As it stands, he deserves a slap in my opinion.
