"Someone like me?" Well gee... it's not as if she's an ordinary made in the background, why WOULD anyone be interested in someone like her. Gee I wooonder????
Can anyone in that era actually grow up to be that dumb and naive? Perhaps it's possible in this century but surely not then. Especially not somehow who was around the harem for so many years.
Eeeeeh about the maid. It was clearly calculated and clearly planned. She disregarded the law, her morals all for money. It doesn't matter if it's for her brother or whatever. That isn't an excuse to go into child trafficking.
Wait, does she really believe in the nature of humans and think that the magicians will just turn a blind eye knowing that she has so many stones which are their weakness?
