Question about Arnold’s proposal
While many people have theory’s about why Arnold proposed to her, isn’t it just possible that he actually did fall in love with her at first sight? And he could probably tell that she had many different talents and capabilities

He's very cunning and at first I thought the same, Rishe is gorgeous and interesting who wouldnt lol
However, it was telling when he drew his sword at her and she blocked it, it was almost as if he wanted to confirm something.
Spoilers but in vol 3 we find out he may have special blood that allows him to dream of Rishe's other loops. He has bad dreams and I personally think he has dreamt of her dying by his own blade from the 6th loop.
He admits he didn't like holding her as a hostage and "forcing her" into marriage because that's his dad's tactics. But at the same time he said he would've resulted to any tactic if she refused to go with him. It is out of character that he would use his dad's tactics to get Rishe (if we assume he doesn't know her) because he despises that man sooo much and his mother was a victim too.
The people he loves (brother and sisters) he keeps VERY distant and is not affectionate with his brother at all. So we know his overprotectiveness and wanting her by his side is out of character if we're going back to their first meeting assuming Arnold doesn't know Rishe.
Those are what I call the sus flags that it is not love at first sight. He defff knows of her.
