My God, these comments. You guys are fucking stupid, I mean I don't have proof on why you're stupid but I just don't have a good insult to hurl at you.
"you came to wisk away the girl with the imperial blood, how disgusting" aren't you the dude who sent assassins to murder her and her mom? or is this a different dude?
MC still being the bitch's obedient slave i see, not enough to follow her order no he's got to kneel and apologize for not massacring fast enough...
I feel like a lot of people calling the Mc a beta cuck or asking why he takes orders from her literally came in half way through the story or just do not use their brain at all. He is quite literally OLD AS FUCK. He legitimately does not care about most things. Him getting ordered around is basically akin to being an old man and going along with the whims of a child to make them pleased. He was given a task by his teacher to MAKE SURE RAIN GROWS UP WELL and this is the simplest way of making sure she gets a great education and very good social standing. Please if you are going to comment on a story, at least pay somewhat attention to it. He legit will out live all of these people so why the fuck does he care if one of them tells him do x or y if it can help him accomplish his mission?
That's one way to look at it. Another way is that he is duty bound to his masters whim. People in this section don't understand duty. Then again most duty bound depictions are shown with upstanding or skilled warriors with unscrupulous owners. Normally leading said warrior to go down with the ship or find out said owner was untruthful on how they were bound thus breaking the convent.
