Just as I was feeling happy about the gays being happy and stuff... I get this cliffhanger
wtf bitch?!
Anyways I'm loving this so much! The original male lead and female lead didn't turn into villains like how some isekai does. There's no 3rd party trying to ruin MC and Dukes relationship (except the duke himself -_-). And HE ACTUALLY CONFESSED?! (albeit somewhat indirectly but MC still wasn't so fking dense that I would get frustrated over it)
I hope these gays get over this hurdle soon. I bet the Duke just wants to protect MC so as a solution he probably wanted to lock him up away from the riffraff of the Demon Count, the King and the Temple trying to kill or take MC for themselves. (This is by no means a spoiler, just an educated guess)
