I really love this scene because he know what the potion can do and he doesn’t want to lose Marianne like he did with this other girl before. He doesn’t believe that she already loves him but don’t want her to lose her clear mind and love someone with free will.
Also I love the end of the movie where Roland pour the potion im Mariannes face and she fake-loves him but King Borg didn’t knew she already is in love with him so the potion didn’t work. 😍
