ma'am just because you've never been kidnapped doesn't mean you don't know what to do in the situation. WHY??? BECAUSE WEHAVE READ BOOKS, SEEN MOVIES, PAID ATTENTION TO THE NEWS its literally that simple they were around 18 years old and you're telling me they never went through fake friends or people that are FAKE?????

They were roughly 20yrs old when they transmigrated and I feel like if i was in their situation, being brought up in an abusive household, I think I would have distrusted anyone who was being nice to me. AKA the royals AND the Count and his son. But I feel like they are also need to be held responsible for their lack of knowledge of the new world, thats why they are so impressionable.

I mean even actual adults can still be fooled, they're also extremely naive and got beaten down to thoughtless scared individuals from the abuse they went through. The people they were with before were also very open with their distaste, so anyone holding out to them with a "helpful" open hand probably looks like a Godsend.
You guys make a big deal that they're old enough to be mature and make better decisions. They were never actually able to live their age? They basically got reborn
before they got to even live an adult life, as infuriating as it might be. They're basically kids no matter how old they are in mind.
