This has officially become my favorite shoujo manga. I want a Nozaki in my life.
Wait. I take that back. Please, please do not give me a Nozaki.
So very irrational. I am so surprised that he has come so far without getting caught, his only good quality is his appearance and charm, and I think this is a big theme in the manhwa. Sangwoo can get away with practically anything; suspicious behavior, aggression, defiance, etc. because he has the face and the attitude that allows him to pull it off. Bum can't even walk from point A to point B without being antagonized somehow. I guess it has a lot to do with how people perceive attractiveness.
He reminds me of Quasimodo in a way, although that's a weird thing to say. Anyways, as I was saying. He is irrational because there has never been a sliver of rationality anywhere in his life and he has never really had to utilize it. He was probably never criticized or shamed the same ways Bum was; he likely had a lot of enablers all throughout his life because of his pretty face and popularity. What I find most disturbing is how horribly he resents his father- and yet acts exactly like him. From what I've seen, he's been using Bum as a replacement for his mother, in a way. Or rather, playing the role of the father while assigning Bum to be the mother. It's quite weird.
It makes sense though. I assume that everything he is doing to Bum is something he has seen his father do to his mother; parental behavior is often a big trigger for serial killers such as himself. I don't know if his father ever raped his mother in front of him, but I wouldn't be surprised. It would explain the boner he had when he was thinking about her last season... Little psycho.. In any case, Sangwoo's childhood is a classic case of monkey-see monkey-do.
I love analyzing his behavior. He's such a brat. See you next season, Koogi.
I have seen a hentai that was just like this. That was all I could think about while I read this... and continually asked myself, "Why? Why have I climbed down this rabbit hole."
Oh well, even if it was a wild ride.. At the very least I liked the art, and it was nostalgic? ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌
Mastergin just posted one to Lezhin and it's free! Yay!
...now if only I could understand Korean. OTL
Oh gosh... My baby... Kyon...

He has initiated not one, but two kisses! All by himself! I am so proud of my darling boy. Now it's Lucaon's turn. (ง •-•)ง✧ You can do it! Though, we will have to...wait... two months. Oh gosh.
I understand, though. Drawing so much weekly is probably very strenuous, I have brittle fingers now because I did something similar without breaks. Rest is key! Meanwhile I will just keep my son and my other sons in my heart while I wait... and possibly cry.
On another note, I think the sudden shift in the power dynamic is very interesting. Lucaon seems almost entirely dependent on Kyon now... and I don't think he has made one tsun tsun remark since he almost lost him. Maybe it shocked some honesty into him.
Saying things like "I'll do anything, so give me one chance" and "I need you" Oh and the hand holding! Ah, my poor heart, I don't know if I can handle this... It'll be interesting to see the differences in how Lucaon will cherish Kyon, but now it's Kyon's turn to be honest about what's going on before it's blown out of proportion. And let's hope that the cane scene doesn't rip our hearts out too badly!
This is going to be a long 2 months, but I will survive it somehow. And good luck to everyone else, too!
I will be suffering... like for real , this manhwa is something I'm looking forward to every single week. Even in days when it doesn't update, I read the comment section because I like to know that I'm not dying alone xD sometimes I wish I hadn't find it last year, because the waiting is too much for me...
I feel the same! This manhwa is my favorite for some reason... Even though I am reading a few others that are also very good. This one just has a special place in my heart.
I like to read the comment section to see if anyone noticed something that I didn't in any of the chapters, and also to suffer in solidarity. It's nice!
Same. I'm just too obsessed with this manhwa. I don't know how to get through the next two months.
The support system in these comment section will be working. So if you feel lonly and you feel like your life has no meaning without this manhwa, I will be reading and writing back to you because that's what I willhave probably feel, tooI.
You are so sweet (づ￣ ³￣)づ I appreciate your kindness
Hi friends. Some of you said you were interested so I decided to share my fanfiction. It is not the best but I thought it would be okay, just to get our minds off of the sadness in the current chapters, for a little while.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/11920083
I hope others start writing for Royal Servant as well! I am going to need something to tide me over with during the hiatus...
Nice story. Can't wait for the next parts ;)
Thank you! I'll try to make it good.
I NEED MORE OF THIS MASTERPIECE PLSSS （/TДT)/
Thank you a looot. You don't know how obsessed i am with RS hahaha Ineed more of your story!!! (⌒▽⌒)
Wow, this is amazing so far!! I can't wait to read more! I'm so glad there's some fanfics for Royal Servant now. Thank you for your hard work on this story! I'm excited to see what comes next ヾ(☆▽☆)
Thoroughly enjoyed the first chapter. Thank you for sharing
You all are so sweet! It is for that reason that I did my best and updated. Hooray, but my fingers are cramping... whoops!
OMG thank you for the update <3
I'll read it right now !!!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I hope your fanfiction will be very very looooong ! I love your story and the way you write. I've re-read both chapters several times, and I look forward to the next chapters ! Thanks again !!!! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
That is a wonderful thing to hear! I was hoping that at least one person would enjoy it. All of this support is going to drown me.
As of now, I'm still not sure how long it will turn out to be. I told myself 1 chapter and then it became 2... and then I wrote 2 and it became 3. So the length could be anywhere from 4 to 14, but I worry for my poor fingers. In any case, I'll definitely put effort into each chapter so that they're enjoyable!
I was honestly surprised/a little sad that no one else had written for royal servant. Where else am I supposed to get my fluff?! Lucaon and Kyon will not give it to me!
Oh, I have updated again... (I am not sure if I should keep telling everyone?) but this time. There is smut! it is not great smut but it is good ole' fashioned Royal Servant propaganda.
It's because you all are so nice that I am neglecting my other fanfictions.. ╥﹏╥
Thank you for the update (and sorry for your fingers) (☆▽☆) !!!!
I loved this new chapter, but the cliffhanger ... Seriously ?! Now I'm amazed by your fanfic & frustrated by the way you're end the chapter 3 !
Anyway, as always, I look forward to the next chapters !!!
and also thanks for the smut ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ and I'm sorry for your other fanfics (or not!) (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Thanks for the update!
I updated again! but I wish I didn't have to wake up at 5am? I regret this... vv
I love the progression of the relationship between Kyon and Lucaon (with Lucaon becoming more and more open to Kyon) !
And I look forward to see how Ryan and Kyon will handle Edwin's proposals !
Thank you for this new chapter ! As usual, it was a pleasure to read it ! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Thank you!! I agree with mitsuke 14
I especially like how Edwin sees past Ryan's persona
I wish I would stop updating in the middle of the night, but on the bright side...
I think there's only 1 more chapter left to go? Hoooraay.... uw I'm so tired.
I'm sad there is only one chapter left but still, thanks for the update (●'◡'●)ﾉ
& here I was hoping your updates would save me from the despair of having to wait two months for chapter 42. Please bear no mind to my selfish remarks; I'm looking forward to the storyline you've prepared & worked so tirelessly in delivering
Thank you for the update! & as always, please take care~
I feel bad, since it took an entire week but the final chapter is here!
Thank you for the whole story ! I will miss your fanfic !
Thank you a lo!!! I really enjoyed your story...aww I wish there could be more of it ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
What kind of hobbies do you think Kyon and Lucaon have?
What would each of them prefer to do on a date?
What kind of pet would they get?
These types of light-hearted questions are the only things we should be dwelling on!
get and geting chained ,,,,having sex and alot of kisses ,,, for lucaon of course kyon for kyon maybe adog
Lucaon hobbies? Maybe working? In every episode he always seems to be working, and about Kyon.. i don't know..
Cleaning (=・ω・=)
It seems like Lucaon just reads or walks around the mansion when he isn't working. And of course he plays with Kyon.
Kyon probably just spends his free time sewing up the clothes that Lucaon ripped up... Oh, being played with by Lucaon as well.
On a date, maybe Lucaon is secretly the more romantic one, whereas Kyon would just be satisfied to be by Lucaon's side regardless. It would eventually lead to sex, though.
As for a pet, I think Kyon would enjoy a puppy. And Lucaon would enjoy watching Kyon play with it.... but maybe not cleaning up after it.
Those are just my guesses though.
Could it be that you're going to incorporate some of these guesses in your fanfiction? I would love to see it; especially with the College Student/Professor theme you have chosen <3 I'm sorry, I'm reading it atm & my thoughts came back to this topic. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I am not sure yet, but I am hopeful! Even if I don't get to include these things in the fanfiction I am currently writing, I plan on writing more. So I will hopefully be able to explore all of these things in the future. Thank you for reading, by the way! I'm glad people are interested.
It was a refreshing read It'd been so long since I'd ventured into the fanfiction world; thank you for allowing me the pleasure of becoming reacquainted. Across the Road is lovely as well~
I am glad that I could get you reacquainted with it! I also took a very long break from fanfiction at some point, so I'm a bit out of practice now. But Royal Servant has been giving me lots of incentive to write. And ohh gosh. I didn't think anyone would notice that one! Just thinking about it makes my fingers hurt...
Spoilers!

This chapter... made me die a little. Of happiness and despair. Because my baby Kyon finally initiated a kiss with the man he loves! But also tried to commit suicide, which is not so nice. At the very least, Chapter 0 has finally unfolded.
So all along, Kyon was driven to breaking point by being pushed out of Lucaon's mansion. It makes sense. But unfortunately... this also means that Lucaon is about to stop behaving sweetly.
That stupid cane is going to come into play soon! And he is probably going to chain Kyon up, too. Because although he may have said that Kyon is free to leave any time he wants, we all know that that is not true. Lucaon demanded that Kyon stay put and even tried to bargain with him...! Acting as if his behavior was the root of his decision to leave. He seemed kind of like a child, really. Promising that he wouldn't touch him anymore... though, I imagine this depressed Kyon more than he realized.
I hope that things work out between them soon. Kyon needs to be held. Although it seems like Lucaon will be unfairly rough, they definitely need to bond again... (though hopefully he will treat Kyon nicely just one more time before pulling out the cane).
It means that he'll know soon that kyon was a danger to him so as u said he will stop acting nicely and we're gonna see an evil dude but i really hope to see him a little lovely dovey after kyon tried to kill himself
I have mixed emotions about this manga. Honestly, I was not expecting it to have such plot and drama- Well, I do think that this could have been carried out in a better way, though. I don't mind the intense subject matter but I think sometimes authors miss wonderful opportunities to make the story really 'pop', if that makes sense.
I can't decide if I enjoyed this or not... On one hand, I was given plot when I did not expect it- something I am always grateful for. On the other hand, I think it definitely could have been executed more gracefully. And I would have liked the grandfather to suffer a bit more, because it seemed like he was the root of everyone's suffering and didn't receive the karma I would have liked to see. Although I guess revenge isn't very sweet.
I also couldn't understand why Hozumi liked Kenzaki so much, aside from the possibility of stockholm syndrome- (to be fair, kenzaki developed lima syndrome) so giving them a deeper connection with one another prior to the kidnapping perhaps would have been beneficial...
Overall, I think it needed a bit more closure and depth to it, but at the very least, I think the plot's underlying potential has incited my desire for a heavy, dramatic story.
