Niklaus was always scared of love. Or, any emotion really. So he was shocked at the emotions he felt around you. Of course he understood what it meant, but he didnt accept it at first. Until his father found out about you. His life long hunt to end Nik, now was passed on to you, and Nik knew at that very moment he would kill anyone for you. So, he made it his priority to keep you safe, even if it meant striking deals with enemies on your sake.
