Castles In The Air - Ikatan Cinta

The setting feels richly detailed, but I wonder how much was fictionalized to serve the romance. Did the author face challenges blending fact and fiction?

Their connection was intense, but some scenes felt restrained. Was this a deliberate choice to highlight their emotional depth?

The medieval backdrop added a sense of grandeur and danger, but I'm curious if there was a particular event or history that inspired this setting.
