28, awww, Duke's last punishment has made our MC Ilic do some serious deep thinking--the pain was that bad. Ilic figures the Duke must have been really angry at him, but why was the Duke so mad? Surely it can't have been just over not wearing the lingerie?
26, mercenary MC thinks Duke only used him to sell the story of Leysa not be his son (What? I can't be Leysa's father. I'm gay. See?)
25, Duke reveals that his son Leysa is actually the son of the Pope and the Duke's sis Iss; Iss has finally decided to do something about the king (and her bro, who is obsessed w/ her)'s lunacy--> if accomplished, the Duke will inherit the throne and when the Duke is king, he plans to send his "son" Leysa to the monastery with Iss for further edu (aka, reunite them with the Pope); the Pope decides to end the war; the Duke outs MC as his lover in front of the Pope + his bodyguards
8, Duke has special task for Mc involving Duke's son; MC now has to rub aphro on nibs everyday and no EJ w/out permission
Plaything
