While god-cursed leading previous rebellions seems to be unofficial knowledge, the rule about killing those who "touched the impossible" is confirmed to be part of the army's regulations. Not really a secret. Didn't the higher ups of the Lemurian Company know? Or did they think that their envoys...

@SuppeBargeld Although I see a bit of that, I agree more with chenando1 here. Anubis is indeed fiercely loyal to the king, but as chapters 26-27 show, his ideas of what a perfect king is like are very traditional. In order to succeed and survive, Anubis thinks that the ruler must be an...

I'm so glad the translations are goign on. Thanks! You know, I actually like that the story makes a great deal of the politics in the setting, from racial tensions to the importance of appearances. Makes the "Beauty and Beast" plot more poignant.

I can't believe this arc is making my impression of Hibari skyrocket. Well done, Hibari! ? But seriously, this whole arc is basically like the Tengu Arc again: one of the main families is using their power and position to bully our hapless protagonist into a forced marriage. Ok, I understand...

Wait, now that I go back to this story, I'm in doubt: if all kings are cursed to turn into dragons in exchange for the dragon's power, how come the royal line can continue? I suppose it will be something like "true love can turn the kings back into humans", but shouldn't Julius be aware of it...

"This whole bloodline is tainted" I haven't laughed like that in a while ? In general, every time the phantom of "Fujiwara having to deal with Shirogane's 'dying alpaca' shortcomings" comes up, the comedy is great.

As the protagonist says, the news about the timing of the engagement are quite interesting. Suddenly, Emeralda's role in Paril's poisoning is in doubt. If she had already arranged to have Paril loss her position and be married off to another house, why would she have her killed?

Who bets she's that Asaba guy who wasn't too friendly with the protagonist in chapter 12? @Nevos But didn't she design an app called "Maou Shoujo"? That would mean he really wanted to be a Dark Magical Girl... or perhaps the name was changed after the initial "failure" ?

I had almost forgotten about that plot point. The rebels that want to overthrow the current system. And they don't like Yuning's father at all, so who bets someone will try to attack them sooner than later?

I find a certain bit of the translation weird. In many scenes, they keep saying "Your Highness" to talk about the princess even when they aren't talking to her. Shouldn't she be called "Her Highness" in those instances? Or is it deliberate?

@Vasqueztion I hope so, but I hope that the staging involves the fiance too. Even if it's all a plan by the grandmother (or the clan's elders) to "push" the pair into the right direction, bastard fiances are dime a dozen and a painfully stereotypical cliché. On the other hand, if the fiance...

Ah, the cliched bastard fiance that needs a beating! The only thing that seemed to deviate a bit from the norm was that he was already being (cheerfully) disturbing and creepy before he started being aggressive. After his words in the car, Sagiri should have already said "nope, a thousand times...

I must admit I'm liking Liang Yu's character a lot. Yes, he's a self-serving and conniving bastard. Yes, he started as your usual spoiled brat that bullied the poor MC to showcase how much of a jerk he was. But since he learned his lesson about how powerful Xinghe is, he's become a very...

"If you want to blame someone, blame your insane, heartless father and brother." Mm... You know, can't fault the little boy for blaming the assassin who blinded him instead. His grudge is very udnerstandable.

@Markgraf Many thanks for the info! Very interesting, especially the percentages. I suppose that the miai custom counts in that regard too.

@nal I think it's bad that there is such a variety of "let's force someone to marry someone they don't like" plots in fiction that I don't consider them the same plot. I mean, Oboro's boss and Tengu girl tried the classic "Let's kidnap someone and don't free them until they marry me", which...

@Darkangel9357 The grandma says there's still time for her to do something about it, so she may not be happy with the arrangement either. But the rest of the family... Who knows. As a fan of Sagiri, I'm happy with a Sagiri-centric arc, even if the "unwanted arranged marriage" route is not very...

A MAR reference is good and nice, but... Seriously, why is there a Dorothy drawing in the extras? Are the authors friends?

@tuatara1 Had the same idea. Actually, I can understand the dukes' reasoning about not wanting to give control of their armies to the king. In feudal terms, it works as a primitive separation of powers: no race has absolute control of the military, so no race can oppress the rest. Of course...

You know, I'm actually glad that the evil patriarch hasn't fallen with a single hit. Until now, it's always "Xinghe curbstomps evil jerk that didn't know how outclassed he was", time and again. But this time Xinghe was harmed for real.
