I’m sorry…but is no one else getting Stockholm Syndrome vibes from this. You’re abusing someone, no wait sorry RAPING THEM ヽ(`Д´)ノ. Then a second later your being kind. Only for Kale to find out “huh if I don’t stay close to the man who raped me in this foreign land surrounding by magic, I’m gonna go insane.” Zigril makes sure he’s alone by distancing Kale from people he knows and people who care for him (who coincidentally are all women) then forced him to take a flower that can impregnate anyone who ingested it, regardless of gender. Zigril gave him that flower because he couldn’t allow Kale to leave him. Then when Kale finally starts questioning “is this all okay, this man is insane.” He always goes back to how Zigril is beautiful, like it’s all find and dandy because he looks good because good forbid someone did all that BS and he was ugly Σ(  ̄□ ̄||).
Kale even has a moment in Zagrils arms and saids “he’s warm”….OF COURSE HES WARM THATS BLOOD WE’RE NATURALLY WARM. Kale just agrees and goes along with it because honestly he has no choice since he’s been outed as a survivor from a fallen land and we all know Zigril spread that rumor. So he either dies because of that or becomes the empress where that law can’t touch him. I love this story and I love the characters DESIGN, and reading this just makes me laugh so hard but I had to put my two sense in because they aren’t even hiding it at this point and it’s hilarious. It would be even more funnier if they had no intention of doing this and it just came out that way

I don’t even read it, I just skimmed the shit and I already had a good idea of what was going on
