@Luv D I certainly agree that she should just talk to people unless she intends to pick up the guardian sword and cut down the emperor herself rather than just choose a cowardly middle path.
As for escra, I blame the fact that romance readers and authors have very low moral and intellectual standards where they believe that everything can be instantly forgiven as long as the one doing it is handsome. Kidnapping and torture is something they see as virtuous as long as the kidnapper is handsome.
