Chapter 1

Uh... It seems that many readers are dissatisfied with the protagonist's rather negative decision. I'll explain a few of the main issues.

1. Why would the other party stop if Tia just gives up her title?

Answer: It's not that the other party won't want to kill Tia if she gives up her title. Rather, by having Swei protect her, it creates the illusion that "if this continues, they might not be able to kill Tia before the lord dies." By giving up her title, it creates a psychological gap, making them think, "Instead of this, it might be better to let her leave quickly." Of course, giving up the title isn't just a matter of saying it; it requires the presence of high-ranking church officials as witnesses and the signing of a contract.

2. Why not try to find the lord?

Answer: Swei isn't unwilling to contact the lord. In fact, if he wants to take action to bring down the other party, contacting the lord is necessary. However, a direct request would definitely be refused with an excuse like "unwell and unable to receive visitors." As for forcing his way in... aside from whether Swei can get through the magical traps set by Wickren, as soon as he enters the lord's room, whether he cures the lord or not, if the lord doesn't immediately wake up (which is unlikely), the lady of the manor and others will have a reason to kill Swei on the spot.

3. Why not just kill the lady of the manor and wait for the situation to improve or escape?

Answer: The castle's guard isn't just one consecrated mage; there are also many magic swordsmen. Even if Swei can defeat one or two magic swordsmen in a one-on-one fight, he would definitely not fare well against a group. Regarding the disposal of the body, some readers suggested taking it to a dungeon to destroy it, but items from this world can't be taken into the dungeon—remember, when Swei first entered the dungeon, his clothes were directly replaced. Apart from items produced in the dungeon or exchanged through the system, almost nothing from the outside can be brought in, let alone a body.

Well, thank you for all the readers' opinions and suggestions. If you have any thoughts, feel free to post them in the discussion area. Although I don't talk much, I always keep an eye on the discussion area!
