The disease thing in Ch 56-57 is so weird, like why did you just tell her RIGHT IN FRONT OF a patient’s door and not when, yknow, she said she wanted to go outside? If she knew she’d probably understand the danger. Like the whole time they’re outside (Ashon & Ashtarte) the knight just told her no, no, no without revealing the reason of the danger. Ofc it’s needed to make her heal this Leon in the slums or whatever, but it’s just lazy writing and an eye-roll inducing plot device that I hadn’t realized were so common in these types of manhwa. Lazy writing: nonsensical flow of the plot, multiple convenient coincidences. Sorry for the nitpicking but fantasy manhwas really decline in terms of writing quality nowadays.

    Not me trying to understand why you're so pained
    If the guard had told Ash that there's a deadly disease, 100% she would have still left the house. There's no difference
    He didn't tell her because there's the assumption that once she goes out peacefully, she'll be satisfied and stop asking to do it putting her out of harms way.
    Unlike you, these people don't know they are characters
    Calling it lazy writing isn't constructive, it's rude.
    Every story has convenient coincidences dummy Why do main characters always end up where there's danger? Why does someone save the mc right when they're about to die? If these things don't happen then what are you reading?

    Why I am so pained? Because I've read dozens of stories like this, most of them are so forgettable because they're like the exact copy of one another. A webtoon is not enough to be called good if it only has good art, it also has to have good writing, good paneling, pacing, and characterization. I know commenting here won't make the webtoon industry change their way, but let's be real, people will read victorian royal isekai no matter how bad it is because it's so popular. And being popular makes some company (I said company not author because Korean webtoon works differently than Japanese manga) excuse boring plotlines, dumb coincidences and conveniences, dull characters, etc. It's incredibly oversaturated, I just want to see this webtoon to not be the same as the others, because the premise is good. And I just complained about one thing for a whole series, not that it's makin me not wanna read it anymore, it's just an eye roll inducing plot device.
    And you said "there was assumption", that's a lame excuse. Every story that has convenient coincidences turn out to be a mid story, anyway. And me calling it lazy writing IS me being rude, because I am so fed up with isekai manhwas not upping their quality because they know it will sell well no matter how shitty it is.
