So basically
Ml had trauma with beta. But his love is a beta, so his feelings contradict that's why it's only push and pull in the relationship for the past 7 years, but ML does love mc. The thought of makkng sexual advances towards beta doesn't turn him off or disgust him, it's the thought of doing similar thing his childhood self saw his dad doing is whay disgust him. And Mc love ml too much to leave.
It does feels off when only now that mc turn into omega that ml want to do sexual things, but too much trauma played a part they need to communicate and work on their relationship
Idk man it has good premise if you want to make a backstory based on misogyny (women can't inherit title so you become men) then address the elephant in the room rather than just treating it as a backstory that has no emotional weight or whatsoever. Ch 8 and it's already frustrating how there's no actual potrayal of how it actually is being a duke and a woman hiding their identity. Mc is far too accepting to the shit thrown to their face, and she's too "kind" for a swordmaster who has gone through war since young
I think miyoshi is just jealous bc shizuki enjoy sax and able to have a life and make living outside from music, the way he cant, bc he's the one who limit himself from enjoying it and thinking music is either being a top/pro or throw yourself to the nearest trashbin, which is tragic. I hope he learn how to enjoy it more even when you're not the best at it (life's more than only being the top, applies to anything/any job field!)
It's saddening bc he could lose a dear friend if his projecting keeps up, you don't find a shizuki anywhere.











Grand duchess... The duke wants to do baby making.. trust me...
