[McNANA]

Is no one gonna mention how fabuleux the prince’s manicure is !!

[KenOne]

Girl, stop with the owl and fox talk. I may be in the minority, but it is cringy and unnecessary.

However, I'm happy we are getting to the meat of the story.

Thank you for the mass update BCK.

Not hedgemoney, but the conversation is really weird at some places:
[txtbox]: But there is one condition.
Aideen: I will accompany you.
Dion: I'll go on the mission with you.
Aideen: (stunned) Sorry?

Why would she be confused if she is the one saying she'll accompany him first?

---

Count: The plan you just mentioned is even more shocking.
Aideen:You want to destroy Perdi?
Count:It's not as simple as getting rid of a small country.

The conversation doesn't flow properly. Since the plan is Aideen's it is weird for her to ask him about the plan. If the intend was for her to ask about the Count's intentions, it could've been phrased better.

Thanks for the translation.

That's not really how loyalty to your homeland works... If you were loyal in the first place, it doesn't disappear so easily with the death of one person, no matter how dear to you he was and how treacherous the current ruler is. And Aideen here doesn't simply want to carry out a coup d'etat, she wants to erase her homeland from the map. Nope, I don't buy it, dear author.

In other words, it's hard for me to sympathize with someone who is ready to discard a whole nation for a personal grudge. It could be more palatable if at least she was shown thinking a lot about why Jeldion was a much better place to live in than Perdi and why there would be no discrimination against her compatriots despite the long history of enmity between the two countries.

But so far, Aideen only thinks about herself and the few people close to her, even though she is a potential heir to the throne, not some peasant or craftsman with no particular concern for politics and no clear understanding of international relations. For God's sake, she is directly asked "but what about the innocent civilians", and all she has to offer in response is "I'll try to avoid too much bloodshed", with no further discussion of the matter. What a disappointment.

Be honest, girl, the country your father loved didn't disappear, you just needed an excuse to betray it because it'll make life easier for you. After all, it's one thing to rely on a foreign power to help it conquer its long-time adversary, and quite another to become the leader of the anti-emperor faction and accomplish a coup without destabilizing your country in the process and also without triggering an invasion by Jeldion because of Perdi's perceived weakness.

@rdirf
as an American id rather see my country burn then watch it become an imperial totalitarian dictatorship honestly id be ok with Canada annexing the USA if it comes to it
anyway got some mad https://youtu.be/Gm2x6CVIXiE vibes

 

[rdirf]

@themanj

Yep, Aideen gives off those vibes for sure. And in this story both countries are absolute monarchies where people apparently don't know of a different form of government, so your point of view can't be a valid reason for the heroine.

 

[cakenoona]

Well, she's damn right.

 

[Pokari]

Welp. No one shall accuse her of being indecisive.

I suppose that's likely an occupational hazard.

_{Along with the whole, "Well, I could try to reform the country, but it would be easier to drag it out back and shoot it," outlook, come to think of it. (Honestly I can't fault the logic—it grates against human sensibility and tribalism and whatnot, but your chances of coming out okay as a country after being taken over by another country, seem to be in no way particularly worse than what awaits after a civil war. Neither are nice, of course.)}

 

[ripmangarock2021]

i love how she keeps talking about the owls and everyone is just like ??? tf is that bitch like this isn't the name drop u think it is miss aideen

 

[zenono]

ehhh even if they somehow manage to keep the fighting to the battlefield, no doubt the rest of the civilians are going to be affected?? and if the empire is gone there's gonna be a political mess so the plan still seems quite terrible
