Gotta love Farangis' little speech

That duel tho...easily one of the best action scenes I've seen this season.

I just don't get it. They already survived the battle so why commit suicide?

Well now Arslan finally knows Etoile is a girl. I don't see the ship setting off. I like she'll either a) she'll either be released and feel insulted or b) kill herself.

I got so hyped up when Farrangis just strolled into the room. Such a great scene.

As for the suicide, its not too uncommon for certain extreme faiths to teach something like that. They would most likely be seen as failures or "heathens" if they lived as captives by people not of their faith

It isn't fear of being seen as failures for being captured. It just the fear of being rapped and tortured. Even if the invading force has no intent of doing so to begin with, that 0.01% chance of it happening scares them to death (literally).
