Wow. Alicia's not a brainless parasite here unlike in the webnovel. I'm kinda glad to see that. This should mean the following plot wouldn't follow the wn anymore.
In the wn, Alicia and her followers all dies at the end when they faced the demon lord with low level because she didn't trained at all. Only the prince survived because he managed to get a reality check in time.
This would actually be so good vibes if she dated Patrick and became friends with Alicia. I normally hate slice of life and romantic shows/books but I really just want to see her end up with Patrick.
Alicia wants mc help? How cute.
How about nope? A big nope also, here have another nope.
Get ride of the prince jackass of the kingdom of misunderstandings and get out of his shadow then maybe but right now.....Nope.
If after alicia was helped by mc and still not standing up for her when her idiot of male leads are attacking mc she's truly a lost cause. Pls alicia i still have some bits of hope for you....
I wish this manga would be less predictable in terms of the (game) heroine. It's pretty obvious by now that literally no interaction with her is going to go unpunished.
I feel people are a bit overbearing against Alicia, we need to remember that the males surrounding her are the crown prince and his retainers/childhood friends, Alicia is a commoner if she says anything out of turn it is entirely socially and legally acceptable for them to execute her and/or her family, imprison her and/or her family, other nobles hearing her back talking royalty might cause a scene or sow discontent, things like that need to be accounted for.
