Agree, and people have to remember that at this time slave were considered less important that animals so it's like a miracle that the Duke don't mistreat her
Exactly. If anyone has ever read and watch historical Chinese/Japanese/Korean webcomics and dramas, they would know that Chloe is the luckiest slave (that sounds so bad, lol). So many royals mistreat their slaves like crap. If they didn’t treat them like crap, they just saw them nothing more as a slave/servant. It’s rare to see another important character(other than the MC) actually look at a slave as a human being and recognize their person. The Duke has a long way to go, but he’s making progress.
I think people keep forgetting the fact that Chloe sees the good in everyone, including the ML. She doesn’t hate him, but she is [still] cautious and scared when she’s around him. Yet, she still sees some good traits in him. It’s obvious that the Duke doesn’t know why Chloe is afraid of him, but he doesn’t remember that she was Beatrice. For her being a slave, I was taken aback at how he has never mistreated her. Obviously, he threatened to kill her again, but that was because his favorite horse from childhood was going to get executed after accidentally hurting his acquaintance. He’s not perfect by any means, but some of y’all seem him as the devil’s incarnation or something. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
