For those who forgot, as far as I remember the FL went to jail for harboring and aiding that freedom fighter who was injured at the request of the ML's sister, and rather than admitting he pulled a gun on her (which was true) and forced her, she opened admitted in court she was helping him because she wanted to, which resulted in her being jailed. ML was upset at her bc up until then they were developing romantically and he had seen to it that the best lawyers were advising her. Their suggestion was to claim he pulled a gun and forced her to help, and when she didn't want to lie, that it was her oath as a nurse that forced her to help this man who was fatally injured. She did neither, which consequently also broke up the relationship the FL and ML had with each other. FL wanted to stay true to herself, but ML felt betrayed by her decision to essentially willingly go to jail and "leave him". After her release, she realized she now had nowhere to go as she was neither a war nurse nor nobility, and she could not go back to the ML where she had been staying. So she took up an newly presented opportunity to go to the US and forget abt the ML.
