Im glad that she is smart. Usually if they show unfavorable future, they avoid it at all cost. In this case she knows that its different based on different actions. Why did I keep postponing this nice ass story. I read this since 6 am in one setting (with occasional breaks) its almost 10 am now hahaha

The fact that so many people reading this don't know what psychological horror is and how SH's mental illness developed from abuse that he suffered as a child...
NK plays a very important role in SH's life, for he is the person who will teach him how to express emotions, and quite frankly, how to be human. NK is a strong character, he endures all the suffering and abuse he's being inflicted on by a man who has never known affection and is confused by his feelings for NK. SH had a full on panic attack when he realized he had punished NK wrongfully after finding out that he didn't run away and was actually kidnapped.
I know many readers only focus on the rape and abuse and use that to talk badly about this story, but if anything, this manhwa realistically depicts social ranks of that era and also showcases a form of severe mental illness caused by childhood trauma and what effects it has on the mind and body of the grown adult, as well as his ability to socialize. SH grew up to become a sociopath and his relationship with NK is slowly teaching him what is actually right and what is wrong. Mr. Kim is also one of the key characters in SH's life, but unlike NK who has to deal with SH's temper physically, Mr. Kim acts more like SH's advisor in that he continuously gives him subtle clues on how he *should* act upon his feelings in a more rational way. Sometimes he listens to him, other times he's so blinded by rage that it's impossible for him. Nonetheless, he has become more likely to follow Mr. Kim's advice as of lately.
It would be wrong to view this story as purely BL/yaoi. If you're only here for the smut, I'm sorry to inform you that there's actual plot here :) but alas, I'm just rambling a little because this story fascinates me so much from a psychological standpoint.
A piece of advice I'd like to give to fellow BL enthusiasts:
If you start reading something and it contains scenes that make you uncomfortable, immediately stop. Idc if you find the art mesmerizing or if the main characters are hot.... just drop it immediately, tell yourself "this isn't my genre of preference" and move on. No need to ruin it for others.
EDIT:
I wanna add to this that I'm against romanticizing such relationships irl!!! The social ranks might be depicted realistically, but the relationship between SH and NK is anything but realistic, I hope readers who support this story also understand this and won't use it as some kind of f*cked up example for justifying abuse. What SH is doing to NK is WRONG. The whole point of the story is about how his behavior is wrong. Hence the label "sociopath". Sociopaths don't understand the flaws in their harmful behavior. I'm very curious to see how this story develops and if the author plans on showing us SH's healing process (aka what yall call "character development" haha).

I really hate it when in yaoi they say stuff like "oh how are you gonna be with a woman after this bluh bluh bluh"
I feel like they are totally invalidating bi men
Ofcourse There is a difference between loving a man and a woman and some people may prefer one to the other
But that doesn't mean everyone would be "unable" to do it
It's like sayin someone cant be gay after he slept with a woman
Again I'm not talking about this one I know he is gay (which the damn duke should know too) it genuinely piss me off

I mean, there are different types of affection.
If he views that bird as his emotional support animal, to whom he can confide himself to, he would naturally end up feeling affection for it and might get possessive over that established master-pet bond. Affection doesn't need to be romantic.
That and they are in a warzone. So being possessive and jealous of others who could potentially take away that little ray of sunshine, who allows him to relax and express himself freely, is expected. She isn't a soldier. She is a bird.
A very bright bird that interacts with him willingly. She is there with him because she wants to! A bird who could fly away and never return since she is chained by no human-constructed social, moral, or ethical obligations!
He is the chosen one. The chosen master of this genius of a bird.
It will undoubtedly make him feel special and loved. And although I've never been on a battlefield, I think I would crave for these little moments where my rank and mission weren't of any importance for me to feel needed and appreciated.

I don't want the Fl 'to change' herself just to 'fit in'. I hate to see if she lost her real self just to be fit in the aristocrat life. She a free spirit.
It a good thing she learns all of that aristocrat life so she would not embarrass herself & make all those foxy folks respect her especially she from normal background.
I just hope the Prince will settle down with Aria and not involving himself with royalty political anymore. It is better to live with Aria without the need to be worry and happy ever after.
That the best plan.

the crying and laugh scene... for me its not cringe at all, as she doesnt has anyone to lean on or ask for help. That was her way to comfort herself so its not something we should laugh at or look down at.
Still, its heart warming to see that the ML had known her before (≧∀≦) aaa this interaction is a bless
