Considering how scheming Calvin was in the novels I've always thought he'd look like Clovis from Code Geas, not a generic looking noble ossan.

"I should play around [with women] confidently!"
Proceeds to scheme machinations for controlling a puppet emperor
He physically cannot stop himself from being on the grindset. Disregard females, acquire currency.
Early in the morning he declares to his wife (or fiancee whatever) , "i'm going to make you regret being with me. I will fool around with a lot of woman"...

Later when he come back to his home, "You are going to be a wife of someone stronger than the king"

What a funny household

(Do they not have news there?)

Hey, you know that guy who came up from nowhere, has been slaughtering pirates his whole life and recently started ending entire households?

Oh yeah. You mean the guy who commands a massive military force which keeps growing exponentially as if he has unlimted money and resources?

Yeah, that guy. The schmuck who not only has never lost a war, he one sidedly slaughtered all his enemies without taking any casualties every time.

What about him?

He a little b*tch. Let's go fight him!

Great idea your highness!
Considering there is an example in real life that president or some sorta group of leader have weird decision or knowledge about their community, surely yes. Although it's likely mental barrier as well because a habit in liking hearing only good news that comes onto them

The crown prince seems like a more mellow chap than expected? I wonder if it’s his supporters that demanded the tribute since they seemed to be a bit snobby

Sounds like The Guide is about to help Liam again. He is plotting to destroy the empire, the empire's top two candidates for emperor are plotting to destroy each other and make an enemy of Liam while cutting off their own supply lines to his rare metals.
Surely the gratitude this time around will be another near fatal dose, if not outright destroy the guide when Liam realizes he spurred outside forces into attack his latest enemies.
Honestly, it looks like the older brother's backers want the war with Liam more than he does.
My guess there is he survives but loses all his support.
Contrawise, Second Prince's faction is BEGGING him to not start shit with a guy that just wiped out one of the strongest noble sub-factions around by himself and he's going "nah, FULL SPEED AHEAD TO RUIN BITCHES!".
He's going to die. he's going to die BAD. His backers may survive but I'm not sure yet.

Heck yeah. Succession War \o/

With that said; I can't remember all of Liam's entourages now. What is Kurt getting himself into again, and why ?

And also, Amagi needs more screen time/relevant to the plot.

Guide: "Are you not aware of your true enemy?! (me)"
2nd Prince: "Let's teach Liam a lesson so he will be forced to submit and support me instead."
Liam: "So you are my true enemy, 2nd Prince? Now die!"
2nd Prince: "Wait what?"

Join a benevolent prince to take over the empire so they can address the civil unrest caused by the guide and piss him off even more.

Guide: "I won't mess with Liam directly anymore, but destroy the entire empire!"
Liam: "Way ahead of you."

The Guide sure is a glutton for punishment. He can't just seem to let go of his pride. lol

The first prince seems somewhat pragmatic and cautious. The second prince is as prideful as he is dumb. Like so many others Linus is going to FAFO. lol

- Even better, if the strife the guide causes by inciting unrest and ultimately the succession war ravages the Empire badly enough, then lo and behold, House Banfield and its resources which the nobles and Princes were hilariously unaware of, step in to restore peace and with reforms to restore the lives of the people, gaining tremendous public support, to the point even the nobles won't be able to do much without sparking a full uprising.

The third Prince might even realize his inadequacies, the Emperor sees there are no real candidates for succession in his own house, and abdicates in favor of House Banfield. Liam becomes supreme "dictator" of the Empire, revels in becoming a full on Evil Overlord, and yet the people love him for it.

Liam's gratefulness and the appreciation of the whole Empire knows no bounds...the Guide pops, disintegrates and blows away in the wind. :pacman:

It's not like the 2nd prince can sanction the 3rd prince. The 3rd prince is still a prince very close to the throne, especially now with real backing, so no mere officials who'd supposedly monitor the sanctions could spit in the 3rd prince's face. Liam can sell to the 3rd prince and the 3rd prince will grow richer selling it to the rest of the empire. Those sanctions would be pretty meaningless.

IF the 3rd prince actually has such fortune to buy the amount of rare metals Banfield supplied (remember, it's large enough to get the Empire overall out of shortage) he'd probably been taken more seriously by the other 2 princes.

Even if 3rd prince try to sell it to the rest of empire, it'd take absolute retard to not see it's from Liam's, which means anyone buying from 3rd prince might incur the wrath of 1st/2nd prince and avoid buying just to not paint target on their back.
Especially considering in this very same chapter the 2nd prince is willing to make up false charges.

le evil prince: I wanna fight him
coward advisors: be careful tho
le evil prince: i wanna fight him tho
coward advisors: ok be careful tho
le evil prince: ok ima fight him

Wow fucking riveting storytelling
I think this chapter shows an important glimpse into the princes and contrasts the two.

Second prince is an ambitious jerkoff with cautious advisors, whereas first prince is a cautious individual spurred on by ambitious advisors.

I'm guessing right before the final trashing of the 2nd prince, 1st prince will get a chance for personal convo with Liam and realize they can coexist, therefore allowing Liam to focus on buttfucking the 2nd prince.
