oh man
Daichi coming in clutch. Of course she'd angrily kiss Eldora in that moment, thus undoing the curse completely. I daresay there's no other way that could have gone.
I thought Alice was gonna skewer Babalus directly for a moment there. Not fatally, just..."so you don't run away on me", type thing.
Waterboarding her in a dungeon over a cauldron is kinda nuts, though.
She herself admitted to the miasma; maybe I'm just assuming too much, but the miasma that was depicted affecting that staff, doesn't really seem like it'd equate to "a magic-blocking charm" like she claimed she was responsible for. And in terms of raw magical potency, the actual curse seems like it'd give off far more "feeling" than the sort of thing she cops to.
But either way, she admitted to wishing harm of some form on actual royalty, and as Alice stated, "admitted to malice toward royalty", and a saint. I have to believe that carries a significant penalty. If not outright execution (since no one actually died), then some form of exile and/or stripping of not just title/status, but perhaps even her magical ability (if "de-magicking" someone is a thing, anyway).
Not great for her. But, Eldora did tell her not to pull any bullshit, so she really has no one to blame for herself, even if "it wasn't supposed to be this way".
But now that Daichi's proven how it works, Luliam needs to have her own sexy yuri moment curse-breaking ritual with Nana so that we can get to the aftermath of the ritual ceremony.
Thanks for your continued work on this series.
