I didn’t see anyone mentioning this in any of the two threads… but wtf is that speech!? “Everything these nobles have are only borrowed from the king, and he can take it all back as he please!”
… so… every nobles that side with the king are also in that situation? Everything they own, their ranks, their powers… at the whims and folly of that emotionally unstable king?
… I feel like if the nobles would hear that, there might be a couple more that would switch sides…
I think rather than that, the prince might be aware that other nobles have sided with Ramslett and might be addressing them. Just my guess tho

I wonder who all those horsemen in the last page are. Nobles?

I imagine they have some choice words for the prince who led them into a crushing defeat. Their supposed "counter" to Allen's machines are useless, so the kingdom is completely at the mercy of Allen and the Ramsletts. There's absolutely nothing stopping them from bombing the capital into oblivion.
Hard to say because it's not like we've been shown the kingdom's emblem properly to identify them.

They're Ramslett faction knights.

Thank you much, after the reread
I was wondering about the same thing upon belatedly noticing that their demeanor wasn't exactly "Prince, let us lead you to safety!" (and there were no royal emblems to compare in this chapter).

problem is that once you are already in the army your moves are closely monitored by the others then there's the aspect of your families. so while yes they might hope to switch sides it's really difficult for a soldier to do so.

Oh yeah, by “nobles”, I meant like the family heads that probably stayed back in their domains, and those that didn’t have their armies there to help that day (or that still have some in reserve). Those in the battlefield here had no hope of surviving anyway, so I didn’t even think of them. XD

I think this borrows from irl medieval school of thought that a noble's right to rule his domain is "granted" by his king, and a king's right to rule in turn also comes from somewhere (be it divine providence, blessed bloodline, bureaucratic bestowal, might of arms etc). In short, there's a reason a king is the foundation upon which nobles below him build their rule upon.

If you consider the kind of nobles that would stick with the notoriously foolish king in this situation, this speech would be attractive to nobles that are

A.)So inflexible and thinks Ramsletts are wrong for breaking a rule/social contract
B.)Opportunist greedy fucks who only hears that this means the king will grant more lands or riches

I mean, those guys were speaking to the prince the same way Darth Vader invited Leia and Han to dinner.

Awesome reply, thank you. 😂

It would be nice if we could get a scene where
the evil little spoiled brats whine about not being treated as royalty (after getting so many of their own people killed, by starting a war with the intention of killing a whole lot of innocent people)… and how the Ramsletts should surrender and be grateful for not being executed… which prompts the Duke to say "You're the one who broke faith, so now I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further."

Kazakhstan's government placed four-page advertising inserts in the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune last month, countering Borat's portrayal of the ex-Soviet country as a backward place.

Borat said Thursday the ads were placed by agents of neighboring Uzbekistan and threatened to "commence bombardment of their cities with our catapults," if they do not stop.

Fiction imitating real life
tbh they used a fucking roma village to portray it and now it affects people's ideas on what kazakhs are and what kazakhstan is

Why is Allen working on the plane like a mechanic? It's a magic operated plane created with alchemy, why doesn't he just use alchemy to service it?

Look up how that worked for Richard the 2nd, genuinely a huge amount of this series feels like it has taken some inspiration from the wars of the Roses (or well at least the leadup to it).

Yup. It’s fine when it’s an “open secret” that rarely ever get used, unless it’s an extreme case that all other nobles could understand, like if it clearly put the whole kingdom at risk… but when it’s openly declared like that, and used as a flimsy threat for something that pretty much only benefit the royalty… and even more so when a rebellion is already active and somewhat easy to join…
And the rebellion openly have both military power and a wildcard, facts that were very publicly shared… yeah. lol.

And yeah, paraphrasing Richard II’s Wikipedia page seems apt here:
While his politics were not unrealistic and not unprecedented, it’s the way in which he carried them out that was unacceptable to the political establishment, leading to his downfall.
which is pretty much what I wanted to say earlier. XD Thanks for reminding to look there. :thumbsup:

Honestly I quite like it though, it both makes the politics of the series much more realistic especially compared to other manga in a medieval setting but it also makes it stand out from all the other totally not mobusekai stories out there

lol, yeah, definitely a “arg bad writing! … wait a minute… check history books damn it, there’s actually real humans that were THAT dumb” moment.
