I know this story is not going to take it in this direction but, could the princess have known she was going to get assassinated/kidnapped during the party beforehand and just never told the protagnist?
Thank god she isn't the type to overlook how weird they are acting, wonder how long it'll take her to realize this isn't the actual palace, if she ever does that is.
Lowkey feel bad for the guy who was telling them to leave, he was polite and didn't even threaten them, killed off the walking dead guy then just got tazzed
Like damn
The main protaganist in this chapter reminds me eerily of Ariel from "When the Villainess Loves" and I dont like it. Its just the constant crying and having the same light blue hair.
