I mean, why and how do they think they will be able to capture someone who beat a demonic monster for breakfast?
They are a bit slow.Their logic actually made sense.
Until they tried to imprison the Saint.
I think you meant deterrent. Detergent would be... interesting
Maybe with her being locked up, the witch route from the main game will reappear and there will be some developments?
Yeah but you actually can't. If you're locking up the Saint to stop her from trying to kill the witch that also means you can't let the Saint fight her because she'd use that chance to kill the witch, so the witch herself can just roam about. Like what are you gonna do, lock the Saint up close to the Academy but you can't let them fight, so the witch just goes elsewhere and starts chaos?
Yeah that's the point. She doesn't have to be once Elrise is locked up. She'll just go elsewhere and start doing witch things.
I mean I don't think so because this manga clearly is not about that. I'm just trying to think about the king's logic because to me it doesn't make sense in any way. Like no, you're not getting peace by locking up Elrise, no matter what. You only cause trouble.
the witch is terrified of her existence and won't leave her hideout in-case she leaves a trail back to herself. she's not omniscient, her information of the outside world comes from the birds exchanged between her and the knights who were arrested. From Aiz's perspective they also don't have much of a choice either do this and wait till elrise dies of old age or have humanity end in the next cycle.
Well, I can understand the King's logic. By sacrificing a saint, (in a way that she just become a witch repellent) the world will get peace by stalemate. The king and the council have this idea because Elrise managed to suppress the witch, which no saint had ever done. The king also didnt want Elrise to be the witch as she's too strong. They would rather have troubles by locking Elrise than letting her become an uncontrollable nuke.
I think being locked up here is not being thrown into the dungeon or something, but more like a house arrest in a mansion, and only be permitted to go out if the witch is in rampage.
I mean the witch is absolutely stuck. She can't move. Because if she does Elrise can and will break out and just go for the kill. It's like seeing a lion getting pampered behind a cage that's small enough that the lion can just jump out of it anytime.
the king probably expected her to reject him in the first place, and just asked her on the off chance she actually agrees. given what people think of her it’s hard for anyone to imagine her letting any amount of evil exist
