Oh, he will alright; every dude who comes in contact with Serena simps hard for her - they all basically end up dying or killing for her. The last chapter should have been very clear with the foreshadowing. Heck, it's worth reading to the end of the arc for the siblings' conclusion.Thanks for the TL work and for releasing them as full chapters.
I too hope that Shagard wipes the floor with the twin, but I also know that will only aggravate the twin factions against him.
It's good to see him pushing through this, though. It will be very interesting to see if, or perhaps when, he has to fully grapple with "the resolve to take a human's life".
Shagard is actually talented and trained a bit before his nightly boot camp with Serena and Tigurd. As Serena noted in this chapter, page 3 (in case you missed it).I dont think 3 days of training would improve him that much, but I'm looking forward to it.
