I have a hard time reading that as anything but "whom no one had loved except me."
Oh, I'm with you. Also terribly amused. No wonder Peter and Lehndorff hit it off. They evidently have the same ideas when it comes to their respective princes....
It occurs to me that in 1729, Peter was the only one willing to escape with Fritz, and all evidence points to him remaining the only one who didn't have to be baldfaced lied to talked into it. So I could definitely see the words "only one" escaping Fritz's mouth, and/or Peter drawing the conclusion that he was the only one who loved Fritz enough to be like "Let's get you out of here ASAP!!!"
ETA: Cahn, remember that there was an abortive escape attempt in 1729, and that Katte only got drawn into the plot once Peter was sent away. At first, there was only Peter. <3
