Hello!
While that whole purchase was for Emrys's amusement to tease the MC, the reason behind this is rooted in the setting of our narrative.
In medieval times, heels were often worn by royalty and nobility for practical reasons and as a display of status, regardless of gender. While our story exists within a Medieval Fantasy realm, we've incorporated such historical details to maintain authenticity.
Regarding Lady Daevaris, we'll investigate to ensure all branches are functioning properly. However, it's important to note that our narrative doesn't privilege one version of Aarya's gender over the other. We've made efforts to include branches where their respective heights play a significant role.
