I know they're endgame, but I just don't like it. The FL is nice and sweet, and I like her, but she is just way too naïve. How could you be oohing and aahing over a man that destroyed your kingdom, would've had you murdered, and sold you into slavery? No amount of water cups and nice words would make me forget that.
I have no problems with the amount of violence, and the actions of the Archduke in this. It's very much period appropriate. However, I do have issues with how Chloe responds to this. A slave is a slave. Just because your master treats you decently, that doesn't mean you won't be kicked to curb when your worth is gone. I'm just not a fan of the romance progression.
