For those who are unsure who's the male lead here's what I think
Jude---- the author will kill themselves before considering jude (also i'm pretty sure he'll have limited appearances and those that he does have will be ''the nice supportive senior'' or if he gets his own love interest
Wolfie (cedric) is out
my dude made two appearances and was never even mentioned again i'm pretty sure he'll pop up in the future confess his love and get flat out rejected and be fine just being near him or just knowing that maythans happy, and if there is ever a side story regarding his sister he'll show up.
Now for the Duke And prince
The only recently came in the picture-- sure they met in their childhood and left gifts for him and stuff but for the better part of the story he didn't appear. He's a complete douche bag but we need to think like a manga author and we all know they love red flags. I think he'll be the male lead as they have had physical contact and have A LOT of sexual tension that our bottom seems to hate (but he'll probz become fond of it later). I thought the prince would be the ml for the better part of the story since he appeared the most out of the three, has the childhood arc, the rich arc, the rose tinted glasses arc. However our bottom is only getting annoyed of him and not engaging him like he does with the dukes ''annoying'' behaviour. Which the author probz thinks is their ''chemistry''. Therefore duke is the most likely is the ml (prince still has a pretty good chance still)
P.s: I really like the prince personally so I hope he's the ml afterall
