Wow, even their king wasn't the usual corrupt and vindictive bastard. He just lost the hero, his son (and possible heir) and he told his son's surviving comrade to live in hiding instead of ordering her execution. I guess he knew his son would do something like save her.
I hope he can tell Tia the truth about the world-hopping. Keeping his mouth shut and not being honest has actually dire consequences (surprise!) that literally cost her her life span. If he didn't pretend to be the same old weak guy who just lived in another country, maybe that could have been prevented.
This is honestly standing out more to me than most stories in this subgenre. I'd say this is how you write a reasonably original story even with non-original tropes: through creative execution. I've already gone through a number of banished fantasies that turned out to be forgettable or trashy, so I'm hoping this is one of those rare hidden gems.
