I felt the promise logic here was tortured. Maybe it was better phrased in the original Japanese?
She promised to do everything she could to make sure the verdict was "guilty".
So Lemon enforced it, with the motivation that to ensure a "guilty" verdict, she needed to show that her mark was not the same as on the monster.
This is already meh reasoning, because the verdict was going to be guilty anyway.
But the prosecutor knew that her mark was in fact the same, and that showing the mark would result in an "innocent" verdict, so doing that was a direct violation of the promise, as stated in English.
So she should have been forced to refuse, and the MC would try to use the refusal as evidence.
The worldbuilding in this series continues to be rancid, and I continue to hope for a rebellion arc. Maybe if the author runs out of hentai tropes to showcase?
