I'm looking forward to seeing how this fantasy 19th century Europe is being portrayed with its inherent complexity, such as the partitions of fantasy Poland where our fantasy Prussia was one of the three contributors to it being gone from the maps of fantasy Europe for well over a century until the fantasy Great War is over.
June 15th Stellar Year 815 = Most probably this is about the Battle of Waterloo, and/or the prelude of that battle.
While the French crossed the border and initially attacked Coalition forces on June 15, the actual Battle of Waterloo was fought on June 18.
I don't know who did the date error, most probably it was the author and/or the mangaka, and not the TL.
This also confirms, that the in-manga calendar "Stellar Year" is simply a shift by a millennium to the Gregorian calendar.
Furthermore that means that the "present" is mid-August of 1876, making Gustav's ...Another 30 years remark also an error, because they are roughly 4 decades (38 years) before the start of the First World War (in 1914).
Also the author seems to be not (yet?) acknowledging the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871).

They are currently preparing for the equivalent of the Second Schleswig War (1864) while their First Schleswig War (1848-1852) was 120 years ago. The "another 30 years" remark is a complete mystery because the time scale is out of wack.
In the earliest chapters she offered herself as payment for the rescue of her people. Her attraction to Gustav was there from the start and only grew as he treated her well.
This manga is published in a Seinen magazine so nudity and sexual themes are fairly normal.
The maps in previous chapters were more zoomed in only showing the equivalents of Denmark and parts of Northern Germany (Schleswig and Holstein). This is the first time we've seen the map zoomed out this much.
To debate point 1, she did that out of past (justified, it'd been like 120 years since she last saw an orc) prejudices because she hoped to have his aid in rescuing her clan, not out of attraction. The attraction came later, naturally, but that scene is not a good justification.
