tw// r*pe and webnovel spoilers
so in the webnovel when he first captures her instead of the immediate knightage we see in the manhwa he insults her looks and then orders his men to r*pe her then kill her so she wont haunt them as a ghost or whatever and they immediately try to g*ngbang her (even tho she’s supposedly ugly ig) then he leaves like “ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~“ and wastes like three hours going over her file while she’s fighting for her life and when he finally realizes she could be of use he shows up like “sike haha wanna join my army? :p”

yeah, he was pretty fucking bad at the start. But to Poliana it was a normal thing during war. He later regrets everything that he said to her and wanted to punch his younger self. Poliana even mentions it to him and he is so riddled with guilt that she still remembers it. She, on the other hand, just says it in a matter of fact manner. There was really no resentment in her voice or anger about what happened that time.
i just started the webnovel and omg i will never look at the ml the same again (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
