I'd say the readers are the ones getting bashed each time they have this cute conversation. Oh my heart. Even though it's a work of fiction. Even though it's not me getting that treatment. Our future generation must've been super blessed learning this as their history and literature instead of the boring war and scheming and some random shakespeares
EDIT: OH MAY GASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY KISSED!!!
