Was looking forward to a battle of titans after page 20, but it ended so soon after. That being said, I suppose for a monthly manga, spending several chapters on a single battle is ill advised.
@quanle
Maybe reported as dead?
I can see they prematurely send a messenger to report her death just before Arc appear and save the day, and it take a long time to finally reached this prince.
@Zephyr : letting the girl kill him is much more dumb too. He was going to reveal key informations and with that they would have stopped the mastermind behind all this horror but noooo it would be too smart to do that.
I can understand that she needed revange. But still, not thinking about this opportunity (especially for the assassin) just show poor story writing.
