Ifkr. They only want the aro narrative to make someone naive and childlike so they have a "feminine" appeal but ofc, that's not normal so they will still have a love or sexual interest. Bullcrap. Whatever
SPEAK
it’s politically unrealistic too. especially if she becomes a war hero, she’ll have far too much political power to pair off with any of the love interests, except maybe reiner (or loweline). i wish authors had the courage to do anything other than the standard romance ending.
IMO if you're going to make someone so not interested in romance either commit to it and make them aro or show some sort of interest. If not, it gets too boring and unbelievable.
