Maybe the anime didn't handle the hints well enough, but from a few things, as early as the king completely ignoring Naofumi and Naofumi being told the Shield Hero is the dud hero, you are already supposed to understand the country sees no value in the Shield Hero. It's not just the bitch who betrayed him. It's more or less everybody around. Thus there's absolutely nobody who would want to investigate anything. It was highly convenient for them they could throw him away based on these hollow charges. It's not like the rumours would have spread so fast and wide if the government hadn't wanted it. Thus, the rape accusation was handled just fine. It was like being accused of a crime in Russia: The moment you are accused is the moment you are found guilty. Everything after that is just theater with a predetermined outcome.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
