please remain as this kind of Prince and not act like his aides.

It's a very interesting dynamic going on in this story. wondering how much we will get to see by the time its all concluded.

So prince thought she's like one from the start

The tutor clearly didn't hit hard enough

Gif from the movie Fargo(1996), the line said is real and not edited.

Intriguing to see how level-headed Prince Erik is being through all of this.
I keep reading his thought process through the lens of looking for hints that he's slipping up, missing a turn in his own logic that betrays his ideals and goals, but I'm not really seeing anything. It seems like he retains his faculties in a way that the other two boys didn't, and he still firmly holds to Seraphina and his engagement (and, in a sense, alliance) with her.

I suspect we'll get at least one more chapter with him, and I suspect we'll get a full(er) rundown of "the lunch incident", since we're now dealing with Erik directly and it's all centered around him. But I am intrigued by how he alone seems to be the only boy not affected by Aini in that pseudo-magical way (though I guess Bernadetta's foreign prince was also similarly resistant, for what it's worth), so I am curious of that resistance holds true, or if he starts to slip and Seraphina has to step in and "correct things".

Thanks a lot for the chapter!

I really like the prince so far.

I mean it's been known and stated since chapter 2 that prince Erik never considered or pursued Ani.

Because in the Seraphina chapter, he was stated to always diligently attended and their tea parties.

The only thing we are seeing new now is the actual tea party discussions he has with Seraphina where they discuss, what he is doing with Ani.

I do think he is as pure as seraphina because we see that as royalty he takes his duties seriously as the crown prince with this background chapter of what he thinks.

Edit: though I guess his flaw is that his 2 potential aides, the idiotic knight and the dumber brother. He can't or doesn't see their flaws.
Edit: corrected to crown prince, Seraphina gives off such MC vibes he felt like a consort

Sorry, but the chemistry between them is WAY better than any of the "romance" manga I have read recently. Way better than those copy paste "romance" manga where a near perfect girl falls for someone with little to no redeeming qualities, for no apparent reason except that maybe he was "kind" to her.

You could call this co-dependency but it goes way further than that. I LOVE how much they can communicate without even speaking, the unshakable (up until now atleast) trust they have in each other, how much they share in common, how easily they can see through each others flaws and fill the gaps, etc. I'm enjoying every moment they share together.

I know it's the norm but romance was never meant to be just limited to fan-service, wish fulfilment, self-insert and fluff. Its become the norm because we have accepted it as one. People would most likely consume junk rather than something good that takes an effort. Love and respect go together and it cant be portrayed by just some cringey dialogues and fluttery backgrounds.

Edit: though I guess his flaw is that his 2 potential aides, the idiotic knight and the dumber brother. He can't or doesn't see their flaws.

It's more that he expects his aides to better themselves for the country, and doesn't understand how they'd get infatuated with a girl.
Sauri did break out of it, but big musclehead is going to stay a musclehead.

 

[brndndss]

Prince Erik has a good head on his shoulders, unlike his potential aides

 

[Wizardrone]

thanks for chapter

 

[Abricomas]

Edit: though I guess his flaw is that his 2 potential aides, the idiotic knight and the dumber brother. He can't or doesn't see their flaws.

As @SunSun pointed out, Erik did see their inadequacies, but he expected those two to improve on their own, as they are nobles and their families should have told them to shape up.
I think his flaw is that he didn't understand that misunderstandings could lead to the impression of a romantic relationship, something that Seraphina called out back in Chapter 2 (though that was more to show how stupid Aini is to think the Prince would fall in love with the Saintess-Apprentice).
He couldn't fathom someone being that dumb, essentially.

 

[BulbaCPG]

i like this prince, he's a good one. he just loves his country...kingdom???

 

[MagnaDrake]

It may feel a bit too "sterile", but Erik and Seraphina does look good together.

 

[zephyroths]

It may feel a bit too "sterile", but Erik and Seraphina does look good together.

It gotta feel like that when both of them get their shit together from the start. so, no drama bullshit that make things more complicated that it needs to be

 

[yoshiii]

Lmao poor little river weasel wasn't in his sights at all.

Thanks for updating!

 

[Amimikamoon]

It seems the prince's flaw is that he can't understand how other people could have different points of view from him. Or rather, he can't understand how other nobles can't figure out the same things he can when they possess the same information. He's aware that Aini's perspective would be different from him because of her commoner upbringing, but his expections for Orva and Sauri were a bit too optimistic...

I wonder if the next chapter will have his best line or if they'll save that for Aini's chapters.

Spoiler: Prince's best line

She, as a last ditch effort to cling onto him, says something like "but couldn't I at least become a source of comfort to you to relieve your burdens?" And his reply is "why would I need you for that? If I feel stressed out I could just go for a walk in the gardens or pet a dog." Really refreshing to see someone in a rofan environment acknowledge that you don't need to turn to humans for "comfort" as is often the justification for infidelity in these things, you can just, like, loosen up in a normal way by indulging in your hobbies or something.

 

[Weiss4Lyfe]

If only politician in my country behave likr this prince... Well, it is what it is

 

[TRizzle]

Just binge'ed every chapter today and I just love how this manga is essentially,

"See how the saintess fucked up and gets crushed, but from this new camera angle!"

 

[Zhangar]

Interesting that the prince's primary goof, if it can be considered that, is that he doesn't understand that the Saintess is attempting to seduce him.

She's so far out of his interest that it doesn't click with him that she's actively trying.

His secondary goof is assuming his future aides are as self-sufficient as he is. Which indicates he isn't really paying any attention to them to realize what they're actually like.
