HMMM. Well, Yuri spent his entire life hating the nobility. he's no naive enough to thunk that all nobles are terrible but he recognizes that it is a very corrupt institution. His interest in it now is not that he is charmed by it--though it does amuse him, at times. His interest in it stems purely from his his interest in Elliot and Vincent. He has no pretensions of every 'fitting in' with that culture. You could say that he enjoys learning the rules because he knows he'll flout them, though it's not something he really seeks to do. Yuri is a rule breaker as a function of his existence.
That said, he also enjoys noble culture because it suits Vincent so well I've mentioned before that he likes to see Vincent operate. He knows Vincent himself is not a fan of the culture but he manipulates it so well it's kind of hypnotizing. Yuri also has really good associations with the parties in that he gets to publicly be with Vincent where everyone can see them... Yuri is a little conceited where Vincent is concerned! He knows Vincent doesn't want him spreading their relationship around but Yuri wants everyone to know that he gets the privilege of Vincent's company, so he loves having that space where he can unabashedly be with Vincent in plain sight.
But anyway.. Yuri is not really 'charmed' by the noble culture. He's not afraid to play with it in Aather because it's not really real. HOWEVER... he is charmed by Vincent operating in the noble culture, maybe a little awestruck. He wold be EXTREMELY SHY of admitting this. But there might even be a little bit of envy in the same way he envies Flynn--he could never follow those rules; he'll always be the odd duck out, watching from the other side of the glass. It's not that he regrets his own nature, he's just aware of his own limitations.
