ok everyone is saying duke raped jace ...their first sex was like that too jace forced himself on duke just because he is a bottom doesn't mean he didn't force things...
don't kill me i just shared my opinion
Jack also force himself on the duke sexually though, if you ignore that part and only blame the duke what is the point? and by the way you can't really say blackmail is way better then rape or the opposite - THEY BOTH HORRIBLE! you can't really try to compare horrible ways to threaten someone to do what you want - it just dumb at this point if you even try ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Blackmail and Rape both suck and the whole rape culture in yaoi's should stop altogether but both Jace and the Duke are in the wrong. I'm sorry to say this and mean so offense but Jace started it all and they both shouldn't have done what they were doing and the Duke is definitely in the very wrong as he keeps hurting Jace but if Jace wanted, he could leave and he doesn't so I guess...in some ways, it's fine but not. XD The whole thing is fucked and they really need to clear their misunderstandings.
Exactly and I agree that the Duke is doing really bad right now but don't forget that Jace instigated all of this. If he just hadn't gone onto the Duke in the first place and stuck to teaching his brother, none of this would've happened. And Jace could leave if he wanted to and that ain't victim blaming.
The only things he did wrong was come on to him twice when under the effects of strong medicine and alcohol. He believed he was dreaming and tried to "blackmail" the duke into sleeping with him and forcefully kissed him. The duke has raped Jace repeatedly and yes Jace is an abuse victim. As most abuse victims, he stays because he is dependent on the duke and when he said he was leaving, he was then raped. Do not blame abuse victims for not leaving.
How did Jace start it? There first instance was when Jace was under heavy medication and he never forced the Duke to sleep with him. The Duke slept with him because he felt his pride was on the line. Then the Duke got Jace drunk and slept with him again. So on so forth. The only thing that could have started this on Jace's part is that when he was under heavy medication, he forcefully kissed the Duke and made a jab at his pride. Everything that happened there after was because of the Duke. He was too prideful and sleep with Jace, he raped Jace when he was drunk, he rapes Jace again, he helps alleviate Jace's aroused state, the Duke pursues a relationship with Jace, the two have sex often where it is easy to see the Duke is the one seeking Jace out, the Duke rapes Jace continuously and that is where we left off. Jace is an obvious abuse victim and saying that he chose to stay in the hands of his abuser is an insensitive thing to say after reading the latest chapters where when he says he'll leave, the Duke then rapes him.
funny how you add "the only things" like it is nothing, despite it is considered a crime to blackmail a duke. The duke could easily put him in jail for life for what he did since it is considered rape and blackmail for someone that higher state then you!
And yeas the first night, even if Jack have the convenient excuse he thought it is a dream - what he did is still wrong in many ways and a crime! Especially since the duke is his boss, so it is also considered sexual harassment too!
and Jack never really feel that sorry for it or explain what he did.
Jack isn't a rape victim from the simple fact - he has the freedom to leave!
The fact he chooses to ignore other options to work elsewhere and even telling his current boss about them shows he does not want to leave!
If he really wanted to leave, he would not have told his boss about other places he can work and just left after leaving a resignation letter.
but nope, he enjoy the new power he gets over the duke and see how he react to his sexual harassment and blackmail.
Please stop protecting sexual harassment and blackmail men just cause of your bias. Jack is horrible too and a manipulator, I say even bigger than the Duke. Which I found funny how you defend one bigger manipulator over the rapist duke that isn't smart enough to do that XD
How tf is Jace dependent on the Duke?! He could leave and the Duke would not say anything, it is Jace who is staying because he wants to. Abuse victim, my ass! Even if under the effects of alcohol that doesn't give him the right to do what he did to the Duke, blackmailing him and doing that. Everyone has a choice and Jace was given a choice to leave but instead he decided to stay. He could leave, find another job and live decently but Jace is staying on his own accord, the Duke isn't stopping him nor abusing him. I admit he did rape him and that is wrong but wtf does this have to do with abuse. Jace agreed to doing it with the Duke almost every time himself.
Not being able to leave and abuse is when your whole life is run by the other person. They give you income, they tell you that you can't and can do, beat you, I know that because of some personal stuff and Jace can easily quit and leave. He could've left long ago but instead he misunderstood the Duke just as the Duke misunderstood him and they're both cohabitating now, knowing the rules of the deal. The Duke gave Jace a very good chance to refuse and leave when they were on the boat so yes, Jace could've left if he wanted to very easily but no he didn't cause he likes the Duke to some extent as well. The Duke is not abusing Jace in any way, gave him a chance to leave but Jace wants to stay and what even is this argument? Every yaoi has rape culture involved in it, something that should not be normalized and is horrible but why only this story?! Jace and The Duke both did wrong.
Are you fucking stupid?
Blackmail is a crime for anyone but he didnt blackmail him to sleep with him. While he was under medication he did sexually assault the Duke which I mentioned when I said "forcefully kissed"; however, he never forced him to sleep with him.
I have already said that abuse victims do not usually leave their abuser since they are usually dependent on them. If you've actually been reading and not just looking at the pretty pictures, then you would know that Jace is dependant on the Duke in terms of money since this job was a miracle for him.
He did tell the Duke he was leaving and was then continuously raped. He is a manipulator but he is not a rapist.
The Duke is not too dumb to rape someone since that has nothing to do with intelligence and he's literally a Duke, not stupid at all.
Jace is dependant on the Duke for money as that is the whole reason he is here.
When Jace said he was going to leave, he was continuously raped.
Rape and sexual assault are abuse.
Jace never forced the Duke to have sex with him. He did forcefully kiss him but never forced him to do anything else. That was on account of the Duke's pride.
When under the influence of alcohol that the Duke made him drink, he came onto the Duke in a drunken state and was then raped by the Duke as one cant consent when under the influence, especially under heavy influence.
He did blackmail the Duke about a letter of recommendation but not about having sex together.
Rape is literally sexual abuse so the Duke is abusing him and when he decided to rape Jace when he said he was leaving, that is obviously him refusing to let him leave.
Have has only agreed to have sex with the Duke as of recent after starting a relationship at the lake.
There are many different kinds of abuse and yours is not the standard. Sexual abuse is still abuse. If youve read the story then you know that Jace is currently dependent on the Duke since he's his boss and source of income. You keep saying "he can just leave but chooses not to"; he literally told the Duke he was leaving and was then continuously raped as the Duke refused to stop until Jace said he wouldn't leave.
Rape culture is obviously bad and should not be normalized, that was never an argument. Jace and the Duke and both bad but ones a rapist, which is worse, and ones not.
They both are bad in the exact same way and the same amount. Whether under the influence or not, Jace still blackmailed him and forced him to sleep with him. You're going on about the Dukes's pride but it had nothing to do with his pride. I admit in the last chapter, the Duke forced Jace to stay but that was now. Before that Jace had every fucking chance to leave but he chose not to. The Duke gave him a great chance to leave, find another job and live on but Jace chose it because he wants to stay and he knows what staying entices.
Jace and the Duke are just as bad. Forcing someone to sleep with you, blackmailing that person, is a great offense and the Duke could literally throw Jace's ass out and about the income thing. Jace might've been blacklisted but I'm sure the Duke can and would've helped Jace find another job had he so badly wanted to. And the part where Jace said he was going to leave, you can clearly tell he didn't actually mean it and it was more of a jab.
Rapists should die and rot and get slaughtered but if the Duke is one then Jace is too. He started it, to begin with, if he didn't want shit happening, he shouldn't have dreamt up that he slept with the Duke, forcing him, to be on point.
Jace could literally leave anytime and that is obvious. Pretty sure he can also find another job, I mean if he found a job in the castle, he could very well find more jobs with just as good pay even if he's blacklisted or whatever. He is not dependent on the Duke which you say he is because not everything of him is run by the duke and I'm repeating myself but he could literally clearly and easily leave if he truly wanted to. He could pack his bags and sneak out or leave secretly during a different time, if he hated staying there and was being abused, but he isn't and don't bring up the bullshit of Jace being afraid of the Duke.
We all know he isn't afraid of the Duke and is using him just as much as the Duke is using Jace.
I said this again, Jack DOES NOT DEPEND on the duke for anything AT ALL!!! DUKE IS HIS BOSS!! Get this into your brain!
He didn't tell him he was leaving, he told him someone else wanted to hire him, so he can see how the duke will react!
And yeas he did blackmail him!! If you want to live in denial, it is your problem!
the duke is dumb for falling for Jack childish games and blackmail ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ you need to be really dumb to fall for that bs!!
The Duke is his source of income so he depends on him for money.
He said he would be leaving in the future and then the Duke raped him.
He did blackmail the Duke but not into sleeping with him.
The Duke is not dumb, just prideful and Jace's blackmail failed since he hasnt gotten a letter of recommendation.
so what? he can always find someone else to get money from! stop acting like Jack is a poor child with no way to live!! He can literally find work elsewhere!!!
he said many bs he never meant - good morning. he also said the duke is hot, and he wanted to fuck him - literally his fucking boss!!
he did blackmail to have sex with him!
the duke is dumb and no! You don't give someone that blackmail you and sexual harass you recommendation!! you turn to the fucking police on his ass! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ that common sense.
Its hard for him to find a job because of harassment and prejudice that he is gay. Ive been saying hes dependent on the Duke for money but you kept trying to refute that.
Don't know what you're trying to get at here because it has nothing to do with the fact that when Jace said he was leaving the Duke then raped him.
He did not. He forcefully kissed the Duke and then took a jab at his pride. Then the Duke had sex with him. Later when Jace was level headed, he pressed the Duke for a letter of recommendation but was basically denied. It wasn't blackmail as he was asking for that as his reward when he was told the Duke would give him one for saving the kid.
The Duke is a Duke who has gotten plenty of education to become a Duke so no he is not dumb. Logically speaking you'd be correct if that was what occurred; however, there was no blackmail in the end. The Duke wanted Jace to quit instead of fire him so his brother wouldn't be mad at him.
If you still cant understand these things then reread the story and actually read it this time.
Omfg!!!! You haven't even fucking read it have you? I keep repeating and saying that Jace is not dependent on the Duke and can find a job anywhere despite being gay, he just didn't try for more places and decided to go with the castle job.
And when the Duke gave Jace the perfect chance to leave, what did Jace do? He fucking stayed and why? Because he likes staying in the castle and he enjoys the perks that come with living in the castle and anyone who reads it can tell that Jace is not abused and doesn't want to leave. If Jace really was being abused, he would've left when he had the chance and the Duke can do a lot more to Jace, however, the Duke is being lenient.
Blackmailing is an offense I'm pretty sure. The Duke could fire Jace, do a lot of shit to Jace but he isn't because he's being lenient just as Jace is letting him do whatever he wants. They both made that deal and Jace knew what the Dule meant by the deal and Jace agreed, when he could've very fucking easily denied and fucking left the castle and you didn't even answer me on the fact that if Jace was so ABUSED and wanted to leave then he could've snuck out, handed in his resignation and left with no word but he isn't and you know why...because he enjoys staying there and anyone who ACTUALLY reads it knows.
You keep repeating one thing over and over and talk about how Jace is being abused. What about the Duke? He was forced into having sex with Jace when Jace basically BLACKMAILED him and the Duke had to do that. Jace has a HUGE part in everything that is happening so no it's not the Dukes fault you dumbass bimbo.
But obviously, illiterate fools who don't even read the story would never know. You probably scrolled through one chapter and thing you know shit. And if Jace wanted to leave no matter the reason, whether he has to QUIT to make it happen, Jace would have quit then but isn't quitting cause he likes the job and the perks.
Syrupy Pancake: Your points that you so say are point, they are absolute rotten insensitive biased shit. Jace is not fucking dependent on the Duek and we have all addressed that and if you've got a pencil so far up your ass to not use your small ass close-minded brain then fuck off from this convo. Cause you keep repeating the same shit of how Jace is dependent on the Duke when he isn't and we're all tired of you bull.
And the fact that you're repeating the same thing over and over just proves you have one thing to say and nothing else. You read nothing and you're so fucking biased and close minded that ughhh! Talking to you burns my briancells.
Exactly my point. If Jace wanted to leave so badly, he could sneak out, he could literally leave in the middle of the night, better yet he could fucking quit if he was getting so abused but he doesn't and instead he goes on about how hot the Duek is and how he literally wants to fuck him and let's not forget blackmailing him and coming onto the Duke. At this point, arguing is stupid cause arguing with a fool only makes you a fool. People are so biased.
