Little Lord, oh little lord, you are going against your own kingdom's royalty in favour of a foreign kingdom's king.... that's almost treason

it really isn't though, since at no point those men said it was by royal order + the men in armor explicated started in a thought bubble that the order was given by Varabus but "not under his name as royalty" = so it's not a royal order
however, Varabus may nevertheless hold a grudge and since he has many ressources both under his royal authority and outside of it, he could indeed try to harm the little lord's business, reputation or something else

"Why is my husband here?"
So heS only your HUSBAND when he looks like he has other options huh?
And the only reason you bother to see him is "if he can't be mine, he can't be with anyone else" mentality???? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
"Are you going to drag me back?"
"...more like CARRY you back"
Maybe you should've been gentler BEFORE you told your hubby you NEVER want to see him again and choke him???

I felt like crying
Bro. What.
You thought he might be a Saint, and all you wanted was to love and protect and keep MC away from harm.
He used his holy powers to heal you, while crying because he thought he might lose you.
He ran out into danger because he wants to save as many people as he can.
You spent so long trying to chase MC and when you know that you both kinda are into each other and now...
you effing try to CHOKE MC???
JUST BECAUSE OF SOME SHITTY FAKE PROPHET IN YOUR PAST?
THAT WAS WHAT MADE YOU LOSE LOVE?
WHY.
YOU PIECE OF CRAP.
GO TO HELL.
I DOUBT YOU TRULY EVEN LOVE HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
GROVEL AND BEG YOU PIECE OF COW DUNG.
ALSO, I HATE YOU AUTHOR. DONT RUIN MY LIVEY DOVEY HAPPY, POWER COUPLE FOR A SHITTY NONSENSICAL PLOT POINT.
I cant see MC as anything but ML's CHILD
How tf
He's been acting like a child/pet the whole time.
Even his mental iq fell when he became a bird.
He is mentally and physically weaker than he used to be which results in him acting childish.
Their whole dynamic is MC being the Duke's pet.
Mc is relying on food, shelter water, protection from the Duke and only knows how to act cute and help in a limited way. He gets an almost unconditional love from ML from the start, like a child or pet does. Ml looks at him on more of a small cute companion rather than a life partner.
He can't even walk properly now, and has to be carried and trained to walk ( like a person does to their kid). It is not helping that the Duke is ages older as well.
I honestly root for the Duke and the original lover to be together.
But the author do have a lot of character development to get through if she wants to justify them being together
