Thanks for the update. Well... I'd welcome any positive development really. Step 1 Patting, check. Step 2, Lap Pillow, check. What should we expect next? A hug, kiss cheek, holding hands? How far can we go in treating (in MCs POV) a man with a 6 year old's mentality?
I'm much more surprised at everyone being surprised at his thought process. He's a simple person with barely any experience. The man just came back from a war, his men knows he hires geisha's/prostitutes before MC came along, he doesn't know the concept of love but one of the few things he might enjoy is definitely sex judging from his conversation with the 2nd brother. Still, I remember one plothole I've discussed with someone on the spoiler threads (technically not a spoiler since everyone knows this):
What we know from ML is that he despises and outright kills anyone who touches him without permission (I mean, eunuchs have died just from one finger/nail coming in contact with him or something close to that), but the fact that he had experience with prostitutes before, how does that work?
