It’s not, it’s normal for one of them to get chosen by the king. That’s why they were talking about it at the bath house. Ofc they’re gonna fuck first then romance, especially considering he wasn’t anticipating it
Because it’s Claude lol. They even explained it in the first few chapters where he was seen as someone who was sleeping around. Obviously they met in a way like that because why else would they have started to talk? Claude liked her and wanted her physically, for him to develop or recognize his feelings off the bat is out of character. That’s down the road after they started sleeping together because he probably didn’t even realize he actually liked her aside from just having someone there n a physical body which he probably was doing before her.
Not hating or anything and I absolutely love them both
But why did their relationship start physically then emotionally that's not some kind of bl manhwa troop kinda disappointing for me at least
