Not gonna lie I get a lil annoyed to butler but his reason were understandable. but bruh take a hint the duke were literally in love to your highness you can clearly look to him his only care in the world were the prince
No cus any sane person would've ask for the doctor's help so it's not that important to highlight. Especially if the sick person has their own personal doctor.
And just because Rishar thought the hidden identity is bad for MC's health, doesn't mean it's a clear indicator that he is in love with him? It's sure is a clear indicator that he's a good person tho.
From the butler's pov, they're both good friends but due to his duties, he chose loyalty. Cus again, he lacks context about their relationship so thinking of the worst (rishar using the secret against mc) is the best rationale. Do remember that the mc himself doesn't want the public to know about his real identity + his abusive mom also think the same so it has real consequence to their politics. The butler isn't really one to blame here (not like he can do much other than being loyal/die keeping a secret)
But damn why his brother looks like an addict? Is his brother have sick, I thought it's just a depression in early chapters and
I mean depression could do that to a person too depending how bad it is
Isn't it because his brother can't get guiding beside from YG? But because they are brothers YG cannot give intense guiding more than a hug and it's not enough for the brother, cmiiw
It's cause they were poor so they often didn't have nutritious meals and then he couldn't receive proper guiding. His brother tried his best with guiding him through hugs and holding hands but sometimes he needed extensive guiding and you can only get that through sexual contact. So that was off the table. Plus stress & depression, lack of sleep. Everything combined was wearing down his body. But the main issue was guiding.
Couldn't afford proper guiding, since that means sex... and he wasn't gonna fuck his lil bro.
But general starving probably didn't help.
