#like ur protagonist being born a noble is automatically going to Cause Problems

[the-owl-tree]

while tooth and claw hasn't fallen into this trapping entirely, it does remind me of how some authors are aware that owning servants or giving credence to the divine right of kings is ""problematic"" but instead of giving the unspoken message to the audience of "believe in this fantasy for the sake of this narrative", there has to be an internal justification that these are good servant owners who don't dare mistreat their servants like others do. which in turn makes the fact the servants can't meaningfully leave their positions even more of an elephant in the room than had they just not tried to justify our protagonists, you know, having servants.
