i LOVE the 2nd couple so much but i wish we had a Jace chasing Noel arc instead. i know i know hot fucking take!
It just seemed like their issues got resolved too quickly. Noel also has flaws too and i wish we could find out why he is the way he is. we literally don’t know that much abt either main character lmaoo
does he like the duke/king and just uncomfortable w those feelings since he’s never thought he’d be interested in a pretty man? or is his self esteem low bc he thinks he’s just a plaything that will be disposed of if the duke/king gets bored? like he just feels unworthy? his feelings towards the duke/king is a little confusing for me…
I honestly just think it's Stockholm syndrome (●'◡'●)ノ
He did say he couldn't tell him, "i love you, " or sweet nothings like he did with women because he felt the king's feeling were going to pass. His mother and later his mercenary boss told him that nobles tend to change their minds about the people they slept with. So, he kept and kept defining the duke's feelings for him. This chapter gives him a little freedom and is finally seeing that years have gone and the Duke still loves him.
