Slaine was saved by Inaho due to Asseylum's request but that was probably out of good will. In all seriousness I really hated the ending, Asseylum made the choice of diplomatically marrying Klancain in order to stop the war and save Inaho and Slaine. I might be wrong but I will continue to cling to my Inaho x Asseylum ship. I just finished watching the anime myself on netflix. I was surprised when she made the declaraion taking Klancain as her 'legal husband'. I certainly didn't see that coming but I guess I should have now that I think about her words from a scene prior "and I need to borrow your title" etc.

It's a bitter sweet ending, and I can only guess the mangaka(s) decided to go with a different unique ending rather than the old "happy ending where the intended couple get together".

The fact is, peace might not have been achieved had Asseylum decided to be with Inaho. Peace was the objective. In a manner of speaking its a story of personal sacrifice on top of personal growth.

I am however, finding myself left with 'wanting more'. the bittersweet ending "I will sacrifice myself for the better good" isn't unique either, even less unique if it's about arranged marriage, that is a plot on the level of hentai manga.(I've seen many with this kind of thing)
