it hurts to see both the grand Duke and the mc in pain. I can understand both povs. The Duke loves him so much. He may act like an asshole at times but theres a good ass reason when the mc literally left his ass on read basically and for the mc he loves him i just think he was scared.
i mostly feel bad for the Duke since bro is probably going through it rn. i know damn well bro would go to the end of the world just for him. and you may say why has he killed the mc like 3 times well bro we don't know yet i think it's because he didn't trust him and hadn't liked him to that point (im assuming)
