I mean... taking it in the historical context, the empress aint that brutal?? Like sure she did make him her concubine but considering his circumstances, where could he go even if he was let go? And just like his thought in the beginning chapters, it was as good as he could have. He only serve her at night, no crossdressing, he was even educated and taken care really well, and she listened to his suggestions, took him to meetings, even allowing him to learn governmental matters despite him becoming a threat to her. He is a prisoner of war, it’s unfortunate but it’s not like she ever disrespected him. Her choking him is because the trust issues of her being discovered as a werewolf, if you were her waht would you do honestly? At this point, she might as well be his benefactor.
