I think I hate the “learned sir” more than the trash lord Seungho. Yes the lord is a pile of shit that mentality, physically, and sexually abuses Na-kyum... BUT the man he looked up to so much obviously knows that the sexual acts he is expected to paint are now being done to him, which he noticed when he asked and Na-kyum very noticeably flinched. He just pretends nothing is happening and says “oh, endure it so I can get my fancy government position. P.s. to add to the danger, also spy on him, ok?” Sorry (not sorry) but he’s the biggest fucking asshole.
When he certainly learned that Nakyum was being favoured over other servants and noblemen that visit Seungho, he totally changed his tune from "I thought I told you not to draw anymore sodomy of men copulating with each other!!" To "Yeah carry on, whatever that is good for me will ultimately be good for you too!"
Completely just manipulating someone who's so in love with him and just wants him to succeed and perhaps feel the same way back?

Oh the semes down bad, loving his jealousy! I want a man like that!

Bro
He’s just mad because something that he could control easy and have in the palm of his hand and knew he could manipulate the situation to make our cutie rely on him is slipping from his grasp.
It’s not love or jealousy, it’s anger and obsession and control and it’s toxic as hell. If he loved him he would be happy his partner is happy and not completely drowning in life anymore.
Let my cutie have the freedom and happiness he deserves!
