Venersis explaining why he's not utter garbage: "Hey, I did unfairly attack a tribe we had a peace treaty with and kill civilians, but at least I spared the children."
Yeah, at this point I don't think there can ever be peace with Shuaruri during Yulian's generation. Too much blood spilled, too much backstabbing, too many shameful acts (let alone killing Julian's mother, there's also the part where they brought foreigners in the desert).
Let alone being consulted, she wasn't even informed until the deal was sealed.
Also the prince can just pick any random girl he met once and force her to marry him.
Yup, that's what I call dictatorship.
This is not funny or romantic. If someone wants to get out of a marriage so bad that they're ready to abandon their family and jump out of a window, there's a problem.
