Aini lacking basic education and it not being realised and corrected, means she doesn't realise that etiquette is essential in their society. Not using etiquette is a less extreme version of forcing yourself into conversations and swearing at people, you shouldn't do it to anyone. It she was...
I got really confused for a second until I realised this is 24 chapters behind the latest release since its a volume bonus. Remember everyone to not post spoilers without spoiler tags for anyone who might read this after chapter 9.
There's a certain romance to the unexpected call during the trip. Definitely should get each other's numbers though (onii-san should have written Shun's contact info on her coffee cup).
This actually makes sense. Following Tohno who is lead along often, and easily catches feelings (but tries to deny them to protect himself) we assume Houjou is juxtaposed as someone who romantically likes him. However, it actually makes more sense from her perspective to have liked him...
Anyone else feel his - my hands are for holding the future queen Seraphina's hands - moment is styled to suggest he does love her / him falling more in love with her? (Not that they don't prioritise the nation, just that they also have grounded feelings for eachother, but are awkward/ignorant...

Sigswald is such an egotistical idiot. If he was actually following proper noble etiquette he should marry a second wife from within the duchy to manage the internal affairs and increase the archducal family's mana. Him expecting other duchies to CHOOSE to form political ties with him, through...
I feel like there could have been a compromise, like having treasure stealing ditter being played between the the bottom duchies and top duchies separately, or a tournament bracket of matches like the one seen here.
I like where the starting point. The prince was clearly a POS but he didn't really do anything unforgivable (murder, harm to commoners, etc.). Additionally, no one really punished him until he got condemned which shows his father sucks at parenting. Now that he's been beaten down for the first...
Karluk: gets a slight fever
Amira:
!!!!! HE'S GOING TO DIE !!!!!
Picks him up
Throws him into bed
Throws blankets at him
(I know that historically illness was a lot more serious, but as a reader this was hilarious)
