One of them said she suffered a battlefield injury that prevented her from having kids, hence the other partner stepped up to the task. Think of it as an involuntary hysterectomy done on one of them (ok, I forgot her name... nobody said there’s going to be a quiz afterwards).
Uhm, you misunderstood what's going on here. Satia mentioned being infertile and it was framed as an issue that needed resolution (and was promptly resolved by "magic" which is weak but I don't necessarily mind it) which is patently absurd since this is a lesbian relationship being depicted. Whether or not Satia can bear a child has absolutely no effect on whether they as a couple can have one, since there's still a functional womb between them.
Her infertility didn't need to be resolved and it would've been more impactful if Meiyu offered to bear a child for her through this magic and it didn't just deus ex machina away the entire issue. But for whatever reasons Satia had to be the one to carry the child? Which is especially weird because she was the one who seemed more enthusiastic about knighthood, while Meiyu wanted to be able to make a decision about her own life and break from the knighthood being forced on her. It'd make the bit at the end about choosing to return to the knighthood after the child was born be reclaiming that life path on Meiyu's own terms rather than just be a statement about Satia's enthusiasm for fighting
This framework could've been used to tell a story of actual impact with even just a small change like that, and I think that's what frustrates me most here.
Dude, it was a problem both because she had lost value to her family and that she is clearly sad that she is left without the ability to be either of the things she want to be
