Comment on ChapterI'm the Most Beautiful Count - Chapter 16
so he then got in a relationship with his student....even thought I can't determine who has the upper hand in this power dynamic relationship...
One is a student and other is prisoner!!!
honestly I myself don't understand, if I look like a girl, I dress like a girl, I am a girl ... Then why am I so happy seeing two boys making love? 
Spoiler!
Don't mind me please 😳

@Cindrella what??... He's not a teacher and he's not a student.

He just helped him learn something, kinda like if you ask a person you know to teach you how to make a specific cake, that would never make him your teacher in the way you're implying. 
You're not paying him, there's no institution, he's not grading you, your future doesn't depend on his decisions, etc.. There's no student-teacher power dynamic at all. 

The only "power dynamic" there is if you wanna call it that, is that for now, MC has the higher status, but the ML has the higher mental power. His presence moves the MC even if he hasn't noticed it yet.

@deleted user   its not an official student teacher relationship nor is it happening in some institute just as you said but,
They did had constant lessons as that how the MC become good with his work...and I wrote this because of how MC addressed the ML as a teacher... He sure was desperate to learn from him...because he thinks the ML is the only choice.
I see that their relationship happen after their lessons so it may not be a problem in the future...
But if it happens when he is still learning from him it is a power dynamic since MC is in a desperate state of mind...
I hope you get what I meant ... 😊
And I would like to add that I don't mind it since it's just a story plot anyway...
Have a good day.
Psstt... Sorry I read your name Lelouch at first (he is my favourite character from code geass)
@Cindrella yeah I know. But my point is that even if he was still teaching him something while they dated, they wouldn't have any problems or power dynamics since he's not a teacher. At all. 
MC probably calls him that out of respect for the favor, not because he's literally not an actual teacher. 

If you ask a friend to teach you how to write in cursive, that person would have ZERO power over you. That, plus the MC is more eager and hopeful for learning than desperate, and he even told him he has a better position now so he'll check how he can help- meaning he sees himself higher in any way than the ML, so... I don't get where you're getting there's a power dynamic in what they're doing.  

There will be. But there's nothing yet.

@deleted user   so let me get it straight for you. 
He isn't teaching him while dating but before that...and we can see the MC desperation as to how he run unreasonable errands for ML because he wants to learn so he will be accepted for who he is.
And we both know that they aren't friends... It's an equivalent exchange on their part ... MC run the errands for him (even illegal) and the ML teach him how to handle  his job...
It's like I am not good in mathematics, and a class/school fellow teaches me (not as a favour but in return of something..just as tutors do..) and he/she is my only option.. So I can't go to someone else to learn it (just as the OG MC thought) and we do this every day .if not I will have to repeat the whole year... Doesn't that make it a dynamic relationship??
And lets not forget the fact that the story setting isn't in 2023, where even if someone meet the president of USA, They won't be intimidated... (Like the MC from the future called prince)
Instead that person the MC is learning from is a royal family members (even though he doesn't have power at the time) ...
And that's why I said that I don't understand who has the power...
Since MC is in dire need of him...while the ML is a prisoner of their family.
It is indeed a power dynamic if you think carefully.
