i mean its such a power move cause the whole point is that he doesnt HAVE to like wrestle him down? he has so much societal power and wealth that he can just tell him to say he wants it and he has to agree to it or face the consequences of his "crime" (self defense that led to the killing of someone important so ilrick either faces prison/execution or rides the Duke's dick...) i mean its also fucked up and sad if u think about it but since its an au historical fantasy about fictional people im ok with it. if this was like that manga where a woman prostitutes herself to her landlord so she can stay in the apt i woulda been like NOOOOOPE. cause that shit happens irl and its not sexy its depressing and also capitalism is evil and we dont have dukes anymore but we do have billionaires and they are just as horrible.
