So I’m trying to figure out if this story is going to focus on showing how incredibly creepy romance tropes are, or if it’ll try and convince us later that this was romantic. Because real life people who got stuck in positions like this with nobles...history turned out really bad for most of them.
I’m not even happy with the gender bending anymore. He called her “it” and “something” and got annoyed when Ilea told him people aren’t objects. She should run.
