@yetiwarrior outside of North America circumcision is mostly only the norm in majority muslim (or jewish) countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision (and as that notes Japan is close to 0%)
I know it probably isn't the intention but my headcanon is that she was trolling her hard with things like "we should both get naked and take a bath" "I can't tell I have to look at your pussy real close".
The enemy seemed like a small fry why doesn't a princess have any bodyguard who can deal with that? And why the hell would you kidnap a princess and stay nearby to rape her that is crazy dumb. A rather lazy way to add her and make her like the MC.
The betrayers in this manga feel kinda pointlessly assholish. But I guess it has to get through 4 betrayals without wasting too much screentime and they have to be bad enough to trigger trust issues.
An ending for this: They start getting along then she invites him to her home, and on the last panels she closes the door behind them and suddenly switches to her other expression while looking at his back. Gotta keep it ambigious.
I think if readers just ignored the whole drama around sniping entirely that would lessen the drama. I mean what is the point of an announcement like this if it isn't "someone snipped us so we drop it now be angry at the sniper because of that", readers getting involved with that just fuels it.
@Madcat6204 Have you not listened to the honorable knight captain?!? If the princess gets caught that sullies the 300 year history of her house! Her death clearly is the most important the rest can kill themselves later.
