So the son of the prime minister is up to know good and has either done illegal human experiments or are working with non-humans? who would have thought? He needs to go to horny jail
I bet they're the King's personal assassin unit, and his father the Prime Minister gets access to them due to his duties. The kid found out about it, either on his own or through his father, and decided to use them even though that would immediately mark him for imprisonment or death.

She's not some bimbo brain as the first few chapters, now I actually wish she can meet him again.
She was way too self-absorbed that she couldn't realize how horrible she was to him, even after he broke up with her she still couldn't get that she was FAR in the wrong. It took her thinking he's dead before it finally clicked, so no she's still a damn "bimbo brain" but she's showing that she can at least grow. Now she just need to get that yandere thinking out of her system and I wouldn't complain if she meet him again but I don't think I'll like her getting back with him. Until then, I'm hoping his relationship with Noelia improves.

Such remarkable two-bit criminals patting themselves on the back by going over their scheme in the greatest of detail, for the convenience of anyone happening to walk by.
I'm not sure I've seen a character overhear something and it wasn't just a convenient (for solving, creating, or delaying plot threads) plot device. If someone overhears something I want them to put in some effort into actively trying to spy first.

Now she just need to get that yandere thinking out of her system and I wouldn't complain if she meet him again but I don't think I'll like her getting back with him.
Yeah, she does deserve the chance to grow and redeem herself, but getting back with him would have to be on his will and conditions.

Agreed on all points about this not turning into some horror-fest of Stepford Smiler Waifu Rape. While it's interesting in small doses, it would have become something horribly long and drawn out in this scenario. Mainly because the only person who would have cared enough to do something about it (Finn) would not have heard about it - possibly even until it was too late to save her. I've seen a few stories that end like that - where the former lover was so far gone that the only thing to do was to either place her in a psych ward or put her out of her misery.

I suspect this thing goes a lot deeper than some think because Vigo (The "Butler") mentioned something about a "Great Mission" and implied that Jair's Father, the Prime Minister, is at the head of it.

What I'm curious about is that I'm getting the sense that Alfine is more than just a plaything for Jair here. Granted, Vigo said to the monster-knights to kill her, but that seems like it was a last resort kind of thing. Why is she so important that Vigo needed to help Jair get her? I can only imagine that she's a critical piece in this "Great Mission".

And given the nature of those knights? That they may be some kind of inhuman/artificial creation? I somehow suspect that whether she's taken dead or alive doesn't matter - that they can use her for whatever role is intended for her, even if they have to reanimate her corpse. (Although she won't be much fun for Jair in that state - that part is probably just a nice bonus for him... unless he's all "HA-HA-HA JOKES ON YOU I'M INTO THAT SHIT!")

I also suspect from the way they were talking about a timeframe that there was something else at play - that they had a means of brainwashing her. I suspect that it was something they were putting into her food because they were really concerned ab out her eating her meals. And it was only a matter of time until it she had enough of whatever it was in her system to take effect and make her susceptible to their suggestions. Her actual health is only secondary to the matter - like it's better for her to be in good physical health so she can better carry out the role she is supposed to play. Not exactly necessary, just better. (See: earlier suspicions about her being useful, dead or alive.)

While it will be interesting to see this plot unraveled and uncovered, also interesting will be to see her finally catch up with Finn.... Of course, in order to get back into Finn's good graces, she's going to have to make a lot of concessions. There's gonna be a lot of crow and humble pie she's gonna have to eat, here. But given what she said about no longer caring about her titles as a Sword Saint and a Noble? I think she'll be able to swallow that pride of hers.

Which just leaves how things are going to go between her and Noelia. This is gonna depend largely on what direction the author/manga-ka intends to take things. But given what's going on in the background with this "Great Mission"? I suspect that there will be rewards and accolades enough that no one is gonna bat an eyelash at Finn having more than one wife.

I have a few thoughts on this chapter.

1. Honestly I don't think she can ever truly redeem herself for how she treated the MC, like has been said she specifically only realised that she was wrong post his supposed death.

2. She had a sword against the Son's neck to the point of drawing blood, the assassin move was incredibly stupid cause she should (not could) have killed him the second the glass broke. Especially when you consider the dodge action she took, for that matter it's amazing the assassins didn't kill the hostage either.

3. I don't understand how the PM's son thinks its any different to force a woman with the rapey time and imprisoning her and forcing her over time (Probably with some kind of brainwashing) to rape her?!?

4. The WN has the polygamy, harem tags so careful on that going forward. I've had a a bad feeling they'll reunited the toxic ex as a harem member :(.

5. No guards (or a maid) watching over the hostages room and is unlocked? For pretty competent schemers they really screwed the pooch on that and I find that very hard to believe.

6. They are really trying their best to show the childhood friend is repenting but what she did would permenently scar a persons mental health, which is another point of annoyance for this series cause the MC seems pretty fine after he leaves.
