If he kills the person directly poisoning the prince, wouldn't they just get someone else to do it? You'll go through bodies and still have a problem on your hands.ow mc would be poor king. "show the one poisoning royalty mercy, to ensure there is nothing making people rather take their chances and throw in their lot with the royalty they are meant to harm, than to do what some mastermind forces them to do that would result in their family 2-3 degrees apart getting executed!"
His whole idea of "what if they were threatened" makes no sense, as the whole idea with those kinds of punishments is to make it so no matter the blackmail/hostages, the punishment when found out is still worse and includes whatever hostage.
just don't ask itAm I gay
It’s not really rewarding a perpetrator if that perpetrator quite literally has a gun to their head 24/7.rewarding the perpetrator for committing murder, imprisonment, slavery along other stuff with rulership of a whole nation?
he could have picked anyone for installing a puppet or just throw the monarchy system out of the window...
meanwhile one of his classmates is stuck in debt labor for property damage he didnt even commit.
Thanks for the reminder, have read these WN chapters long ago , I'm glad Yuika isn't that present in his inner monologue in the adaptation, it was quite jarring to see him do things way beyond anyone could think of only to be mentally hurdled by his classmate.Diethelm's appearance you can thank the book author for lol! Thanks Cerezeth.
Diethelm's never confirmed to be gay, at one point he talks about looking for a wife. I think he’s just starved for affection, given his parents (his mother was seduced into poisoning him as part of a scheme for the throne). The only actual gay relationship in the books is the one already shown in the manga, Prince Alphonse with Sir Magdalos.
Changes from WN:
- Original context: Kento did the whole show with Camilla both because of advice Klaus gave him, and to recover his ego after doing a humiliating tampon run for Yuika.
- The first scene happens in Camilla’s office, away from the Knights. The Demon King’s Army didn’t have gigawolves or a giant cat yet, but did have 40 kobolds in “Alto Corps”, which are used as scouts and envoys.
- Kento’s lecturing of Camilla was cut down and simplified, the odd comment about the King is a leftover from cut dialogue. Kento exhaustively highlighted how cornered she was, emphasizing how useless and harmful her family were, exaggerating the threats to her and her nation, and even bluffing about American nukes.
- Kento only brought out lizardmen for Diethelm.
- The conversation about Diethelm in harem was more substantial, and saucy, with Kento once again fearing Yuika’s potential reaction, a detail frequently left out in the manga.
- Kento checked on the other Princes, 1st Prince was doing the usual gay, but the other two… This is where it was first established Bernst and Christoph were having drug addled orgies, an important plot point, but would have clashed with the tone here. Can still be introduced later.
The point is that the next person would refuse to do it. Because they would know that the hostage (AND those not yet taken hostage) dies if they do, and that they are better off asking the royal to help save their family. ...Or to cut their losses.If he kills the person directly poisoning the prince, wouldn't they just get someone else to do it? You'll go through bodies and still have a problem on your hands.
It doesn't mean that they won't get punished, but it makes no sense to just start killing folks unless they're a "true believer."
