So the king just moved the blame away from himself as many readers did say. and yet he is a moron who still plans to move on the plan that is likely to kill him or worse... destroying his kingdom. i think the latter is more likely.

So when is Calvina gonna back stab them, given that she's apparantly still loyal to the prince who's as she now knows in league with the cult as well. It's funny how the Pansy King just showed off how bad of an idea that is but she still seems to go along with her fiance making the very same mistake, risking his whole kingdom.

Keep in mind, we just saw her bodyguard (Calvina) fighting the Singularity last chap, where she met Oswald at the end of the fight, with zero resolution. We also know that Calvina's actually one of Oswald's underlings, from previous chapters.

Anything weird she does right now makes sense, even if we don't know exactly why, because we know she's probably up to something bad at least (at the whims of Oswald), or else we would have been shown the resolution of that.

As far as the king knows, he's still backed by the singularities, who are the most powerful force in the world (as far as he knows). I doubt his alliance with them is one he can simply drop out of, whenever he wants to. The devil doesn't offer refunds.

The princess is wise to send her back. While Medis doesn't know Calvina just met the prince and had dealings with singularities, she does know Calvina belongs to the prince and the prince has quite solid ties to Pansylvania. It was still fine back when they didn't know Pansylvania is in cahoots with the cult and singularities. But now that they know, Calvina can't be fully trusted anymore, even with no evidence, because her loyalty ultimately belongs to the prince, who likes Pansylvania. The prince is Medis's political opponent anyway. There's nothing much Calvina can do about this anymore. She knows this as well, that Medis can't trust her anymore, no matter how her meeting with the prince ended.

In-character if you ask me. She let the prince hit her without a word of protest, and she's effectively from the opposite faction. Additionally the territory we are speaking of is allied with the prince.

Wait. The chapter itself skipped the scene from previous chapter where Calvina met 2 people before the PoV changed to Calioppe. Goddammit author.

Everyone at the world conference who doesn't already know that Rudger shifting blame to the duke the cult is bullshit will see through it the second it comes out of his mouth. He really doesn't have a choice but to double down on the plan.

Even though they were Duke Emilio's words, we should assume that "Everything we do is for the resurrection of Mage King Icarus Enlil and for him to ascend as the king of humans" (chapter 136) is true of king Rudger as well. Whoever the Mage King was, and whatever "king of humans" entails, those words convey the conviction of a religious fanatic. Rudger believes that the resurrected Mage King will be the solution to any and all of his political problems.

reminds me of this other king from a different realm, Karsus did too think magic was everything... what would possible go wrong ?
