Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator - Vol. 3 Ch. 16

[Chocolat]

Bro at least say that when her dad's *not* in the room

 

[eureur]

the king is just aggro-ing all the wrong people.

Seems like this kingdom's royalty has a track record for aggro-ing the wrong people lmao

 

[Versa]

...what he just asked of her has zero benefits to anyone but him. its only a get HIS ass out of the shit he put it in card. The entire royal family is trash, pls nuke.

 

[Kampfarsch]

This manga title always reminds me of that one idubbbz video where he roasts a guy over calling himself a ginger latino
im not gonna say it here but maybe some of you will appreciate that reference

 

[Silwith]

It didnt make too much sense in the beginning, but now it has become straight up dumb shit... that all makes literally zero sense, its just dumb... seriously... whats with that author...

They depict the King as such a shemer, but this? Serious... he is like an 3 year old doing that...

 

[WoodyCyber]

wow... this king is DUMB.. he is asking to be killed at this point. even if he meant for her to marry is son, so she becomes his daughter that way.

@Doomer @Serkket As someone else here mentioned, it's clearly not in Rovel or any of his relative's interest to take over as the new royal family. The nobles benefit from a royal family which have their own personal distractions or are easily lobbied. And putting aside his obsessions, the prince is clearly a capable person who can provides the country stable governance.

It might seem odd when you just think about it shallowly, but a royal family can't govern on it's own. There is no simple easy solution where the Vankreift family simply stages a coup. Assuming they take over, they need the cooperation of the other nobles to govern. Even before that, the country is not at war, not steeped in poverty or other problems. A takeover is not likely to be well-favored by even the citizenry, who from their perspective will just see a powerful family abusing their military power to enthrone themselves.

I'm just a little annoyed. Manga is often panned as being overly simplistic and shallow at times. Here you have an example (even if it's just one chapter and scene) where the writer is willing to tackle a deeper political angle on the story (and honestly, it's not that complicated). Even Ellen's declaration at the end, as showy as it is for manga's sake, highlights that she can say what she wants because she's tied the Prince's hands through her maneuvering. It's great. But the comments here remind me that manga, for those same traits above that it's often criticized for, has also attracted readers who look at it equally simplistically and shallowly.

I don't understand the king. He's just.. Wack
Many thanks

 

[negane]

Waw
My PEDOmeter is off the chart

 

[Bramia]

Even if he slipped his tongue... It's beyond stupid saying he wants her as a daughter in that situation... But this is a shounen, so he's not getting murdered anyway

 

[Meri08]

Someone needs to take him out of his misery... he's crazy, obviously
Like, there's no logic coming from him
Now, won't the dad beat him up just for saying that

 

[Faryshta]

this manga is being derrailed by overthinking actions and not thinking motivations at all.

 

[trickshot121]

Well, they're royalty. What else would you expect from selfish pricks

 

[Saelihn]

I can't wait for Rovel's reaction in the next chapter. I think Ellen would be good friends with the prince.

 

[subzeroquezect]

the reason fairies hate the royalty to begin with were people like him... and to think that the history repeat itself... are you sure you want to play that card your dumbness?

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Oh ew, His Highness is acting gross right now.

 

[Rozzak]

Hero bout to go instant kill crit 999 on your ass

 

[kaminomikan]

man... he is asking for death so hard...

 

[dokidoki]

bruh if MC falls in love with the prince I'm fucking dropping this series, fucking hate all the royalty they are so ewwwwww

 

[jonsmth]

Seems like some commenters are confusing "Won't you become my daughter?" for something like creepy pedo shit.
The reason why the prince wants to take in Ellen is for the royal family now and the future:
1. Vankreift family holds renown and influence as being the family of the hero, and tying them up with the royal family through marriage will secure the royal family's political position. I think that if left alone, there's a risk that some upstart (could be anyone) a few generations later will use the Vankreift renown to start a coup.
2. The royal family's right to rule is based on the spirits' favor, which they already lost generations ago. If Ellen were to marry into the royal family, the royal family down in the future might just be favored by the spirits again.
