Now this is more like it. I'm so glad that he didn't go the generic route and raped her right off the bat. Instead, he destroys her reputation and she gets a repeatedly punched in the face by her fanatic knight as the cherry on top. Once he doesn't rape her himself and lets someone else do it, that'll be perfect, doubly so if it's a gang rape.
Would people be so up in arms if it was a prince who had put hundreds or thousands of commoners to unjust and grisly deaths, claiming that they are naught but more grist to the mill?
Everyone loves watching Evil being punished. When good is punished, even with slander and false accusations in place, it doesn't feel good. This is a clear manga of "Evil being punished by someone forced to be Evil"
Oh, huh, I thought he was planning on raping her, but now he's having her face beat up? Is he one of those people who gets off on that sort of thing? I've never understood that.
