@Evie not to mention the "shipping" part? That doesn't make any sense bc when u think about it, THE AUTHOR SET THEM UP. they're the main characters so unless u want to be real disappointed about the ending where the mc ends up w the duke and get mad about it, why don't u just stop reading? Look I would give at least some credits to ur words if ppl were just shipping these 2 and it was JUST a ship. But no sadly he's the ml. Maybe u should grow up and click off of things that don't suit ur taste.
