The backstory really makes me debate the current state of things. Before I felt a little scandalized that mc would just let ml suffer without guiding because he wanted to put himself first, since my first instinct will always be to help others no matter what. But then I started thinking of the true nature of this forced career and mc has lived his entire life not knowing freedom as well as serving others, so know I'm torn ╥﹏╥.
I want mc to achieve his dream of retiring peacefully and enjoying his freedom with the ml so bad, I can't imagine how hard it must be for your free will to be stripped away like that.
