Oh no… Alois did something stupid didn’t he? I guess Veronica’s life must really look glamorous from the outside huh. I can’t fault the guy for the thought. Especially give how defined gender roles were for the era/universe. I can imagine it seems like she gets all the love and he gets all the burdens. That comment about wishing he could trade places though… Nah, I don’t think he would have reincarnated as well given he wasn’t anywhere near the castle as far we know.
I love how outwardly Rida was cold and collected, but inwardly she was even more worried about Glen and Bart than Veronica was. Also Haruko’s disdainful glare… why is that so hot?
Haruko also reasons out how Hiroki could still be Bart, but realizes she’s just coping, omph. She has so many mixed feelings about Glen. I think she really feels positively about him as a friend and as someone who can make her princess happy in a way she can’t. But she also feels helpless, like if Glen appears there is no doubt in her mind that Minami would go to Glen.
