If the genders were reversed, it still isn't okay. However, history is history. In the past, there has been countless of people that was offered as spoils of war, and became slaves. Most of them (women, mostly) have been forced like so to perform sexual activities for the king, sultan, emperor or whatever. Here in real life, back then, people saw it as their symbol of power instead of what it really is, which is rape, and treating poor humans as mere things that can be bought or exchange.
I can't believe it took a role reversal for everyone to see how bad this actually is.
Suddenly she's being called out because of what she's doing to him when she has every right historically wise because he is a *spoil of war*. He's already a slave, meaning he can't have that kind of freedom anymore. What she's doing is wrong, however in the past that's one of their uses, and she owns him now. The main guy has become a symbol of her power. You can't erase history, this is a THING that happened in the past. It's just the roles are reversed.
This story isn't even about what's morally right or wrong, it's showing history as it was, only with a role reversal. It could even be criticizing said history of ours. We'll learn more of it as the story goes.
Anyway at least she's treating him okay, not hurting him physically unlike the Main Guy's previous master. He can only look at that bright side now, because he isn't royalty anymore.
