1) elpasa royalty was believed to be complete trash. and with the exception of bea, they were. bea’s family bullied and neglected her, so why should she be filial towards them. their wrongdoings lead to them being executed by the empire. the whole family should have been executed, but bea showed a sense of humility and thus was spared. not saying she should be grateful to him, but that is not a reason to hate the archduke.[/spoiler]
[spoiler][code]2) this “gang rape” that you’re all talking about never happened. i know people like to grab onto random things that others are saying and use it as evidence like a bandwagon, but please use your heads. did the archduke ever throw either princesses to his soldiers to be raped? no. the disgusting one is the red haired man, who said unspeakable things about bea. the disgusting ones are his soldiers who wanted to humiliate bea’s sister by defiling her and tearing her dress. the blonde princess then begged the archduke to kill her so that she doesn’t have to suffer such humiliation, and he did. and why again should we be upset that he killed that treacherous family? we shouldn’t.[/spoiler]
[spoiler][code]3. those things about him killing innocent civilians are half true. he killed the workers that resided in the palace. which sucks but it is understandable. many of them would be loyal to the family they are serving and may try to retaliate against the soldiers. i find it fucked up because i live in modern times and so do you, but this is ancient europe so i don’t know what else you expected? the disgusting soldiers, the killing of palace workers, all of it happened in medieval times. this story stays true to that. the archduke didn’t promote gang rape, and he stopped it before the blonde princess could be defiled. he did what he had to do for those palace workers, even if we do not agree with it. please remember what time period this is.
