i will never ever understand how and why charackters in manga and manhwa suddenly turn suicidal...
even without being leaked this plan has 1000% chance of blowing up in their faces
and in a monarchy trying to rape a noble woman of a higher rank than you is an instant death penality especialy when the husband/father catches you in the act there isnt even a need for a trial
@edamame
nope in any non matriachal monarchy a successful rape of a virgin woman resulted in a forced marriage as long as the standing isnt to far apart and the rapist survives the initial night
the reasoning for that is by todays (and my personal) standards sickening but it was actually a thing
on that note final vestiges of that shite can even be encountered today, remember that line? "buhuhu now i cant be married/ a bride anymore[.....]so take responsibility"
and there might even be some backwater countries leftover that still practice that crap
"fun" fact the past tradition of stuffing daggers/knives in the brassiere/courset was also a result of that all be it that those knives were initially intended for the woman to kill herself before she could be raped.
