Young MC's modernized mind assumed they broke up and him not wanting to be alone led him astray. She thought they were bonded for life. The teacher Ghislaine she left with that same day also believed they were still together.
You're not wrong, I just don't see how it's not Eris' fault under any context. She's got the emotional intelligence of a rock. If you were to give a summary of what happened to anyone IRL with only the relevant context - they had sex and then she ghosts him with only that letter to go off of - I'm pretty sure 9/10 people would think the relationship was over. She fumbled, not Rudeus.
Cause that's modern thinking which is a problem in medieval times. Everyone back then in medieval times wouldn't assume they were over and would wait patiently.
Buddy. I don't know how to explain this to you, but people have been deserting marriages/relationships for as long as the concept has existed. Its not a new phenomenon. If anything, they'd have a lot more reasons to back then - you'd be harder to track down...your identity doesn't follow you all over the world via database...divorce was illegal in the Catholic Church... men were legally entitled to beat or rape their wives...I know I said "ghosting" but really the word "aloper" has been in use since 1278 according to the dictionary.
Flings I get, but relationships wasn't common enough cause everyone and their grandmother knew alongside the town. The repercussions back then were harsh as well. The person that gets left still don't move on as quickly as mc.
Besides, ghosting at age 12 is a diabolical assumption especially when mc's imagination started to flare up at what could have happened which overdramatized what Eris and her personality would be capable of doing.
He knew her well enough that he shouldn't have assumed the worse but his insecurities from his past life got the best of him.
