My God...Lady Tistoria's body is a work of art. ...

Literally. She's a drawing. And a fine one at that.

I wasn't upset about nor did I question Tistoria's ability to do as she does. I was upset about how stupid the choice is. The MC's group sprung out of basically nowhere, had a couple merits working darkly and immediately got invited into internal affairs. They could be literally anyone like a foreign spy and it's not clear what their intentions are either. It seems like an insanely big risk to just involve them. Additionally, her threatening the group implies she has the means to threaten them, i.e. can overpower him/them, which we obviously see, Tistoria could cut down the MC at the drop of the hat if she wanted to while they are talking. This further brings into question why you would invite them if they seemingly aren't that strong of an asset, especially considering the unknown background. It's a lose-lose in most scenarios but the very single scenario that the mc's group is loyal and really helpful, which she has absolutely 0 guarantee of.

On the other hand, the MC is equally dumb. The moment he left the immediate vicinity of the castle and Tistoria, he was out of danger. At this moment in time, his crew should be entirely unknown because they wore masks and outfits. He could split with them and just leave the kingdom, rebuild there or heck, meet back up with his crew across the border if he really wanted to. Even if he assumes that he is being followed by assassins or whatever to watch him, after leaving he has full disposal to his army again, which he could use to escape again. Which brings me back to this being really weak characterization because everything that happens relies on both of these characters to just make the worst choices known to man.

Considering that we literally see someone following the MC to the slave merchant, and there's probably no way whatsoever they're totally self-sufficient in every regard and that any of the other Knight Orders could crush them (with more difficulty if MC's group is prepared for them ,but still inevitable) or if Tistoria she literally could mow them down in minutes if they're gathered...

This is like I said, literally "You can do something pretty interesting with assumedly extremely poor resources to do so, and I'm curious about it and I feel that I can use your group to deal with some tasks."

But putting it briefly, " You're probably using interesting methods, work for me or I investigate which of them are illegal and punish you for it"
As for the MC escaping... so far throughout the manga or novel which i've read (about 2/3 of the current chapters), he literally has no combat abilities.
How far do you think he could get before they either have the tail bag him or just put out arrest posters for "extremely shady looking, weak mage" even if he somehow survived the trip to other cities?

And let's say he escaped to other countries, 1) He might not even get there alive 2) He has no resources to start anew other than knowledge 3) There might not be the right time , place and money to start anew
