[...] The combination of these factors even got one heroine r*ped. It was never stated outright, but considering she was taken, had an ens*avement collar put on and appeared later next to her forced husband-to-be with multiple bruises on her body... yeah. Why did this happen? First, protag didn't realize her emotions for him. Second, protag didn't have the conversational ability to understand her situation when he had a chance to easily save her. Third, protag was too busy sulking to take a step back and think about what was going on. Lastly, protag delayed saving her due to not wanting to cause a disturbance and potential deaths.
