Man, this artist has some real trouble with hands and especially fingernails.

Blatant sexism aside, Ceres would be better as an heir if she wasn't such a terrible person who doesn't care about throwing others into war for her own glory

 

[conqjw7]

Insane reasons for patriarchy nobility ngl

Yeah, I don’t know about that dude.

 

[DarkStorm98]

Sexism aside, if we ignore the genders of Lyle and Ceres, they do have a point

While Lyle did say that Ceres had surpassed him in everything years ago, from what we actually see, the disowning of Lyle and promoting Ceres to heir was completely decided based on one duel

That is. . . . outrageous. Being a noble isn't even all about combat. It is incredibly irresponsible to decide the future of your House based on one event, one challenge.

Edit: Like, I suppose if she repeatedly shows up Lyle in every category, sure, I can see them promoting Ceres as heir.

But did they really need to oust Lyle from the family entirely? Absolutely not. Especially since at first Lyle was labeled as a prodigy, apparently. There's gotta be something else at play here.

first is right MC is a major pain in the ass

 

[JustChar]

Yeah, I don’t know about that dude.

She is just far more capable than MC in every aspect, and has shows that she surpasses him for 5 years straight, in other words, she's smarter, stronger, better at politics, ect, and they would 100% be trained on stuff like that at a very young age due to being nobles, in other words, as an heir, she's just so much more capable than him that it's obvious that she is a superior heir to their household

The only problem, is that she's a shit person, which is the only thing that stops her from being a better heir, because she'll bring her house to her doom, which I did not think I would have to elaborate on

People posted spoilers, she isn't, not even remotely.

Spoiler

She has the ability to steal stuff from others and alter their memories. She never surpassed him, she stole his power, effort, and training. Then erased his memories of ever having had them.

 

[frubam]

These prev heirs are a bit silly and easygoing, which kinda takes the seriousness of the situation away, and I can't say I'm too fond of that. Not that I'm surprised; usually these types of 'powers' have this sort of relationship as if they are old friends more than anything else. Same was the case in Boku Hero.

 

[AnimuVsMango]

Really gotta wonder who Zel is that Brod entrusted the gem with him and not his own son

Also surprised none of them are saying anything about skipping a whole ass generation to get to Lyle, thought they would've given Brod plenty of shit for that

Also, lmao at the 2nd head just flat out being like "even if she kicked your ass and is better than you in every way, we got your back homie, no girls allowed"

 

[ThatRabidPotato]

The comments being outraged that feudal nobles want male heirs
Though I personally do agree with the modern view that Ceres would be a great heir if she wasn't a frothing psycho, you can't be outraged at people from hundreds of years before thinking differently

 

[sleepyblanket]

this is like zuko and Azula

 

[TheEnd478]

this is like zuko and Azula

Spoiler: Except

Azula's talent was her own, she WAS a genius to rival genius! Celes though is a THIEF as you'll find out later

Wait till you find out LATER that either way "Ceres was never worthy of ANY of that praise

Spoiler

Her Power was stolen from Lyle, her power is STEALING other powers. So effectively she isn't strong out of her own talent, she's just a thief who "changed" perspectives and messed with her FAR worthier brother's own mind to change the truth of things! IT was a VERY good thing the Gardner DIDN'T give the gem to the incompetent current Head! Especially since well you're going to REALLY hate the FIRST HEAD because of his "Amnesia" he forgot ESPECIALLY about "the very thing that is the REASON Ceres is even able to do what she did and the reason she's a Frothing Psycho in the first place! For all his LOUDMOUTH! Grandpa is right to defend "teaching" since Lyle isn't incompetent "by choice or fate" he's incompetent "because his very COMPETENCE and POWER were stolen from him in the later case and "mind messed with" in the former case by Ceres! Everything about her is a LIE
