DUXK ME I forgot I was reading a bl and thought it would be a cute palace family story...I loved his caretaker relationship with the prince and was hoping for a love story with the soldier ༎‿༎
Honestly I'm not a fan of how ever Vegas is supposed to be like some belong bottom Twink for the king. Can they not be friends? Caretakers?
Like....if there are so many of them and it's not really a soulmate thing then what's even the point of them. How do you go from the dragon falling in love with its mate to some nobles fabricating boy toys and slapping the same name on it. I feel like that's a bit muddy.
I also don't like the relationship between the leads cause I already saw him as a big brother figure so I can't revert back the fact they only knew each other for less than a month makes it better but the fact everyone is acting li ts a given the prince will fall in love with the dude is....yikes.
Also I feel so bad for all the queen's forced into abuse and perpetrated into it. The king too but I feel less bad cause he has more power over it clearly.
And then Abel.....why did he have to turn into a Twink. This always happens. Whenever a not stereotypically pretty guy dies in bl he has to come back as some weak pretty boy. It's like authors only like stone cold top/submissive femboy.
And not only does he looks like a femboy he kinda looks like a straight up CHILD?!??? AND THE OTHER BLONDE GUYS TOO.
Like. What's up with that???
Also they set that whole thing up with the duke liking blond green eyed boys so we know there's going to be something there.
It's kinda funny cause I clicked on the story and promptly forgot the cover and then when I saw them I assumed mc was mc and the duke would be ml. Then I saw he slept with the prostitutes and was like hol' up this doesn't seem like a story with a promiscuous deranged ml so I discarded him and then thought you that knight is actually rally handsome the more u look at him and then the mc died.
