In historical times, especially during war, acts like rape were unfortunately common, as human rights were virtually nonexistent. Being born into poverty or slavery was already a major disadvantage, but having a beautiful appearance could make one even more vulnerable, as there was often no one to offer protection, leaving individuals easily exploited.
Yea but i dont think the rapist and the victim had a happily ever after in the historical times bruh
So not everyone was literate. What we understand as basic decency is still not common sense.
Even the victims might not know they were victims, it was common practice for girls victims to marry their rapists and have their children. It's so common sense for us now. But at that time it was not, victims also often stayed because of PTSD.
Also, disney was not prevalent in historical times, so people usually didn't have a concept of "happily ever after". They were content with having enough food to live on for a day ( for common people I'm saying ) rich people always be doing crime, they're usually never victims.
But we aren't supposed to romanticise that babe, which is what the authour will do. Make it all okay cuz all's fair in love and war

Romanticise the situation the mc is in, I mean.
Oh yes you're right that's stupid. It's clearly PTSD, power imbalance, anything but genuine love. But let's see how this unfolds.
Yesss let's.
No. The author could have approached this story in a way that doesn't involve rape. Why does it always have to be rape?
