Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou o Shiranai Kamigami no Shito - Ch. 73.1

[BlackAeronaut]

So, is regicide a thing, or is the Demon Kingdom akin to the Klingon Empire?

Pretty much. And for whatever reason Cain still hasn't got the memo. He needs more Roosevelt in him. He's got the "speak softly" part down pat, but he needs to wave his big stick around more.

I find it odd that the demons who seem to value strength over all else are so dead set on going to war for a princess that was weak enough to be captured by humans. You'd think with their mentality it would be a good riddance to a weakling type attitude. Although, that schemer may have had a hand in getting the princess captured in the first place to set the stage for war and while the strong fight and die, he'll usurp authority.

It wasn't really that she's weak. The manga just skipped how she was captured, but the novel covers it. It also sets the background as to why an ossan is able to go after someone so young.
In the novel, it's explained that she was captured because while she was having fun traversing incognito in her human transformation, she was drinking at a pub with some strangers and as she got so drunk that she passed out then the transformation was undone and so everyone saw that she's a demon and so she was captured while unconscious and then woke up in a cell with those magic-sealing cuffs on her.
She explained this while in Cain's mansion one of the times they talked before they headed to Seto's country, so this is not a spoiler; the manga simply skipped it.

So essentially, she's old enough to drink alcohol, and she was never captured by being overpowered. So she's not weak, she just got too drunk.

Except might doesn't make right 100%;

Does the story ever mention why she's beloved by the demon people despite not being strongest?

Think of it more like in Japan, where the leader of the country is the prime minister but they also have a royal family. That's why the royal family's status is so high in this story, as their lineage goes back to the founding of the empire.

Plus, the story explains it in the novel that the beauty of Lisabeth is something that has made her the sweetheart of the empire, and admired by the people. It's also part of why Dennis got those pervy eyes set on her.

Thanks for the chapter!

This could have been so easily avoided if mc was a character and not a plot device for the story.

I've seen color-swapping bad guys before, but usually only in games, not in manga...

Putting aside the question of its quality, it's just part of the industry norm to be reusing things and sometimes just change them slightly. It's not like they're drawing on paper anymore, the norm is to draw digitally which makes it easy to save assets and import/export/edit very quickly. It's way more streamlined now, compared to the pre-digital drawing era.
But yeah, I rarely see it being so evident in villains.

I think something that everyone is forgetting is that the only reason they do not wish to go to war with the humans isnt that it'll make them sad or so many of them might die.

It's Cain.
Cain is literally the only reason. Had they never known about Cain before this (aside the next wife, mind), they would already be marching.

It's not really the only reason, it's just the main reason. It's more nuanced in the novel.

Although they would definitely all be marching if Lisabeth hadn't returned, no doubt about that.

Who needs four demon kings in the first place? Time to cull those numbers.

I'm pretty sure Cain will save the crown prince, if he doesn't the crown would fall to Lisa and that would reduce her to a local wife. Considering she still has the most personality in his harem that would be quite the loss.

Demon Kings: "We want to eradicate the humans, because they hurt our princess. That's why we will kill our prince in public, so we can take revenge on them for hurting our royal family." Makes sense

I was so glad when Corgino (or whatever his name was) finally kicked the bucket, but know we have to put up with his demon twin brother, seriously?!

This is a short arc. Btw the next arc is my personal favorite. So there's something to look forward to!

Welp who would have guess this manga moves into another easily prevented retarded conflict again.
And MC be like "Oh no I can't help/stop them coz of some retarded reason again".

If you have read hair and a beard in this world, you are evil!

 

[blablablub]

How many misdeeds will Cain allow this cheap knock off to make? 20? 50? What are we thinking guys?

 

[naphack]

What's with this limp dicked diplomacy?
Right there, in the council meeting, you gotta reframe the whole situation. How did the Princess end up in this situation in the first place? State outright that the Princess falling into the hands of a hostile country was a result of an internal scheme within the demon empire and therefore there is no legitimate casus belli in the first place and the demons should instead start by cleaning up their own house.
Then state that you will personally intervene in any war that is fought without proper justification. THEN Seth will state that precisely because you would intervene, he will strongly oppose any declaration of war.

If you frame it like that, you bring the important issues to the forefront and don't come across as a soft hearted idealist.

If humans were truly sorry for enslaving the demon princess, they should offer compensation, either in wealth or political influence, to the demons. But no, the MC, as the human representative, just threatens to annihilate one of the demon empire's countries. Sure, he can do it, but still.

Somehow, I don't think any amount of money or resources would be enough to atone for the humans' wrongdoing against a representative of the demon empire, at least from the get-go. Three of those demon kings clearly want war and will use any excuse handed to them as a means to enforce the decision.

Even if on the smallest chance they did agree to receive some form of reconciliation, who is to say they won't deliberately throw their own citizens into the humans' kingdom and frame them for their crime, squeezing more 'reconciliation' out of them until they are run dry? Heck, they could have very well done that with their own princess if we did not get her explanation of how she got there yet. And by the time the humans won't have any more to pay for their 'crimes', the demons will move to conquer their lands.

One way or another, it will go back to war for the demons, and while yes, the humans were responsible for getting themselves into that mess, they have to find out the best way to end that conflict through the best means possible with minimal casualties. MC showing his power may be threatening, but at the very least, even if the peaceful negotiations involved the humans providing resources as reconciliation for their atonement, they have demonstrated enough strength where taking advantage of their good conscience would be a very risky game to play.

He's just a weak human in their eyes. They weren't there at the demonstration of Cain's power.

Don't know; I don't read ahead.

 

[yinkyo]

does MC knows a healing spell or two ?! kinda forgot.....
anyway....a demon noble family or two is bound to be erased....

Random Demon NPC 3 is trying to kill a named NPC...

See ya never, Random Demon NPC3

 

[HDMI1]

Cain heals the Prince, restrains the 3 idiots, then heals the Demon Emperor so this bullshit gets nipped in the bud and they get sentenced to death for treason and the assassination attempt.
