Some people are complaining after they misunderstand something or why they don't speak up. They were verbally and physically abused, not to mention from where they used to live it looked pretty isolated with the forest around it. Abuse changes the mindset of a person. While yes they are mentally 20+ the brains response to that is understandable. They had nothing but each other for years so yes they rely on each other. As well as they seem scared/ paranoid of the emperor. It seems as though people believe that the abuse they faced can't affect them?? After thier mother dies they are suddenly through into a new life with a completely different setting and feel. Their old house seemed isolated and rather cold in mood. Now they are connected to literally the entire kingdom and everything is warm. Of course they aren't going to adjust quickly. That's like putting a cactus in Antarctica. Some people are like well they could've just left, no they couldn't. Thier mother seemed to have eyes everywhere (being paranoid of your abusers whereabouts isn't a stretch) and they were 5. They couldn't do much and with little knowledge of the kingdome it seems like they would've died from starvation in weeks if they could find a water source. This is of they managed to get out of the forest along with the wild animals. Remember how they want ishina (?) As their maid? Its because she's honest and gives them the truth not clinging to them or sugar coating everything like everyone else. They are royalty and even if they are illegitimate everyone is an enemy (especially the duke) so please keep that in mind instead of being like "WeLl I wOuLD hAvE LefT bEcAuSe I DoN't LiKe Abuse" that's barely scratching the surface of how abuse effects the brain. Seriously it is easier to tear the brain down than build it up. Any happiness they had from thier previous life would have disappeared with how thier mindset changed after the abuse and the change in setting.
Seriously out of all the options you choose a fucking blood extractor? That sounds painful as hell, I feel like there was a better option there. Not much better but better
