Cus he's a handsome Lord and she's a woman. Thats should be enough reasons for them
The same way Karina has been mistreated and blamed for shit she never did her whole life, and ALSO still believed all the rumors of Noct being a "beast." When you know literally nothing of the person, rumors are bound to start meaning something. The important part is they both realized that early on, ig
I honestly agree but at least they gave the set up of the family pushing it through aggressively (which most people would assume were doing so at her request) and the history of being approached all the time. Side note. The rumor is about him being a beast when he is pretty much the only character with dark skin is pretty gross to me honestly.
Ml with horrible reputation that knows they are exaggerated or untrue (staff thinks the same) welcome a bride with bad rumors and assume hey are true ??? Make it make sense
