I don’t get how people can say that this is pseudo incest or call the duke a pedo, while there is a huge plot hole as to how they met that wasn’t from the fountain. It’s clear that the younger duke first met Alois as an adult, it wouldn’t be until the older version of him was like ok go find him is where he met the younger version of Alois. I think it’s safe to say that the younger version fell in love with Alois present imo.
The duke helped him grow up but there was no indication that they are considered as ‘parent and child’ he didn’t groom him to be his lover. He even rejected Alois advances even though he is a legal adult. Duke wanted the best for Alois even if it wasn’t with him, he even admitted that in chapter 4. I don’t want to say media literacy is dead but some of these comments… overall it was a solid read, neither bad or good.
