damn tried the oher choice about lyrha ,
I sort of like the Free Will route but the reality is she almost gets raped almost immediately and she's always constantly afraid by herself and there is a real suggestion that she may end up living with you anyway.
The apology route lets her stay safe and keep her job and I personally thought was well handled. I prefer it as it's one of the best humiliation scenarios I've ever seen especially as she gets made to accept the real possibility that she'll carry your child after being so prideful against you.
And she definitely learns to accept her position at the end and who knows she might end up with living with you from that route too, even though it's less likely.
By the way, I think you might have missed the point about the humiliation route
SHE'S ACTUALLY DAMN LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, because the queen is not a merciful person, but a woman who gutted a man repeatedly on false accusations that he was looking at her and took a few liberties with one of her slaves.
Lirah openly embarrassed the queen in front of her entire court by insulting the Queen's guest, then abandoned her guard post (although she did ask her permission to do so) and then continued to complain about the queen demanding she show the main character respect, even after the queen had explicitly told her to correct her attitude
Yeah.. Lirah is DAMN lucky to be alive after that; and it's likely the main character insisting on trying to help her out that lessened the Queen's response.
Also,although it is definitely still rape, it's not something she was ENTIRELY opposed to, even though she put up a front: we know she found him attractive and was thinking about sex with him. It's directly pointed out she would stare at Talia getting f***** for long periods of time, suggesting that she actually was interested in it, and we find out from the freedom route that she actually always did find the main character very attractive.
So, yes, it IS still rape, but she was already thinking about fucking him, anyway, and it's better than her being dead, as that would likely have been on the menu if the MC had not intervened, as she repeatedly insulted the queen and walked away from her responsibilities as one of the queen's protectors.
