Usually I hate student x teacher dynamics, but the author already foreshadowed the teacher is likely to quit his job and pursue a chef's career (or something along those lines). Theres been no touching so far, and technically the student is already of legal age because he got held back a semester or something. Additionally, it's the student that's initiating everything so far. This story is really well done, not to even mention the character designs :)

I mean, if they both die.....maybe they'll meet up in a happier life? One where both of them are free of their current titles and the fl is no longer punishing herself for the deeds of the past?

That would be good too because it seems even ml is not that happy with the position he is in. It cost him to take the life of the one he loved. His situation was basically like he can't let her die because she's really innocent. At the same time he can't let her live because, she would be resented for the rest of her life because of the things her family did. If they were to die I hope they will be born as commoners so, they don't have to deal with this duke and royal family things.
This chapter was SO satisfying. Can't wait to see where this goes ;)
