No extra or side characters will be in between their relationships. The maids in the mansion look up to Uke because he's a good person plus good looking.
The Red hair duke just puts on a show as a fuck boy because he's scared of his brother (his older brother abused him mentally and physically but wants to trap him and control him because he loves his own brother, yes it's incest). I don't think the dude is in love with anyone, he's traumatized and scared for life because of his older brother, the brother also manipulated their parents so they can leave the Duke alone under his "care" since he was very young
MC isn't a push over, despite being able to endure pressure n ppl being rude to him, that's this his skills after enduring n doing so many jobs. He ends up making everyone likes him because of how smart and enduring he is. If being pushed too hard, he'll bite back.
ML is a major green flag, he hasn't slept for who know how long (purposely because of the King as he hates him n keeps edging him/wanting ML to be dead) so he may come off as rude at the beginning.
ML is a stundere, he's all tough but has soft spots for MC (he thinks MC is too weak, reminds him of his mother who's also weak).
Once he realizes he likes MC (not love yet cz he be thinking if he loves someone, it gotta be something dark twisted desire or something, like breaking/killing etc for love, he's in too many wars so excuse his dumb violence mindset) he becomes very clingy to MC, starts flirting 24/7 without realizing it.
ML is very kind n nice to MC overall in the story, the more he is w MC, the more MC becomes his no.1 priority. Near the end, the king poisons MC (the poison doesn't hurt MC, but will causes someone to die if they interact physically, esp through kiss) so ML ends up dying slowly in bed.
MC has to run around trying to find the antidote to cure ML, then even tries to help MC gather his soldiers n other ppl into doing a rebellion to overturn the King. But since MC doesn't want the citizens to be confused n hate ML for overturning the King (cz the King keeps good reputation for himself while being shady in the dark), MC needs a reason for a rebellion.
So MC sacrifices himself, running into the castle insulting the King so he can be captured n tortured (so ML can use MC as an excuse to rebel). Mind you, ML is still dying slowly in bed the whole time, so when he's finally recovered (MC knew this so he's waiting for ML's rebellion), he wants to rush over MC.
But his right-hand man stops him and lies to ML saying oh MC is safe, he's in the country side now, you should go and rest before you do anything. So ML ends up resting for over a week while MC is confused n scared whether or not ML cured yet?
MC gets tortured all the time ML getting rest. Then he later gets kidnapped and tortured even more by the Crown Prince (he wants to torture MC for fun n research first n if MC survives, he will rape him to see he's that interesting that ML liked him that much).
After ML is done resting, he goes to the King w his army to rebel, finds out the truth and gets so angry he doesn't even need to hear all of what the King wants to say. Just straight up cut off the King's head and cut his right-hand man's ear for tricking him because he has said multiple times that MC is very important to him so don't play w him.
They reunites, ML finds out abt what the Crown Prince did, while MC is sleeping for 3 days straight recovering. ML throws the Crown Prince in prison and personally tortures him then chop off his head n all other parts, then throw them in different places.
MC wakes up, they have their moments, other ppl wants ML to become King, ML doesn't want to, too many responsibilities, he just wants a quiet life and more time being w MC. But since ML is part of the royal family and he has already killed the last royal member (oh yea the King killed off ML's family to ensure his position while torturing ML ever since) and MC also convinces ML to becomes King. ML becomes King and grants MC's family reputation back so he can marry him and make him his Queen.
ML does not give a fuck about ppl's opinions, MC will be his Queen no matter what
