Wasn't it because she was forced into this since she was a kid by older figures that captured her as her mom was killed by soldiers, older figures that were taunting her with the release of her tribe only to find out they never kept their promise, and that the only older figure she was safe around was the one that agreed with sending her tribe to be enslaved? No one is saying she isn't a killer, she realizes that herself in the new chapter, but if you were taught wrong, you're gonna do wrong. I wouldn't have sympathized with her if she hadn't been roped into this. Also, the ML doesnt have to forgive her, it's fine. I only keep up w the latest chapters so I might've forgotten stuff from the earliest ones.
Everything was taken away from her. She was betrayed multiple times and used as a puppet to kill people in such a young age. Her past haunts her to this day and she isn't even that old yet.
She didnt cause the downfall of the other countries it its the king who caused everything. She wouldn't need to join the war if the king didn't force her in exchange of her people. She and the others wouldn't have been dragged away from their land if the king didn't desire the power of the gods.
The FMC Hildegar is a war criminal, isn't she?
Her ML saved her more than once and she caused the downfall of his people...
Why should we even sympathize with her again?
