We're talking about a protagonist that:
-Got all her familly killed except for the husband that abused her.
-Almost got raped and fire marked by one on the friends of the responsible of the massacre.
-When she was lucky enough to be sold as slave to a good man who let her do what she wanted in his pharmacy, the same idiot comes back and drags her away in a long walk on the country forcing her to drink the water of the horses and eat grass.
-All the other servants and maids hate her for no reason and bully her.
SHE STILLS SAYS HOW THANKFUL SHE IS TO THIS MAN.
Don't try to make sense of this story or you'll get a headache, just do like me, enjoy those beautiful drawings. Everything is so pretty...
Wait no, he never forced her drink the horses water or eat grass. She did that of her own violation and misunderstanding. Of course she would be grateful to him because sooner or later she would’ve died by the hand of her abusive husband. Plus he spared her life. I don’t think he specifically asked for her but they offered her to go. She never liked the royal life and only up til her father needed her to marry off to that horrible man who betrayed the country was a simple commoner / slave. Also with the them not suspecting she’s a man I think she’s flat chested with small lumps so depending on the fit it can look like it’s just an oversized, puffy top.
She was forced to drink and eat that due to the circumstances she was forced into.
And she was not "offered". She was taken, she has no will or say into this, she is a slave. And the pharmacist good dude didn't want to let her go. But if bigger rank noble demands, he has to comply.
So no, she should not be grateful unless Stockholm syndrome is hitting hard.
But I don't think this comic is about deep psychology aspects. Is about eye candies.
Which is good enough to me.
She got the Stockholm syndrome deep in her blood.. She don't mind being treated shit even if he slightly slit her throat and she would smile with happiness and kiss his butt and shoes and lick his plates.. Dislike it when authors make the FL that low and love their abusers.. All in all I'm not into the beautiful drawing when the story all about loving the abuser so thankfully I stopped reading it.. I just need to remove the bookmark to stop getting alerts.
either everyone at that time period were idiots or they just blatantly ignore the lumps on her chest and look at the shirt and pants she's wearing and determine from that, that she's a man. her voice would be too high to be a guys as well so idk how they're mistaking her for one smh. no offence btw just wanted to rant lmao
