page 10: I thought earl and count are the same thing? maybe it should be duke-marquis-earl(count)-viscount-baron

maybe they were looking at the number of segments of the pyramid and mis-counted.

There's no possible way I can't be supporting Diana in some way after a chapter like this.

Why is Natori still working for Lapis if Lapis fired her? Is she actually working for someone else, or is she just staying there til she finds something else?

Not in the ultra-hierarchical world of Fairytale of Jewels, they need all of the rank names they can get to

looks like she got fired as secretary, and turned back into a normal maid.

I believe she was just at Lapis'.....estate? House? Manor? whatever the term would be--as a "regular maid/Help", because she literally has nowhere else to go in this world were she to leave.

So she's fired from her job as secretary/familiar, but is stuck residing in the vicinity as she has no real connections otherwise (she's not a student of the academy, can't stay at the dorms (assuming there are any), she could maybe have gotten money to rent an apartment or room at an inn, but would have to then find work from scratch, etc)
Which....that's gotta be hell on her psyche.

Diana's the one I feel most bad for as of now.
I feel like I must've misread something at some point and need to go back, because it almost felt like Natori was leading her on at one point (not intentionally, mind) and got her hopes up. But if Natori continues to only have eyes on/for Lapis (she wants to save her, but it clearly goes beyond that), and....I just hope Diana can see this through, given she's effectively the Losing Heroine at this juncture, because she's also Natori's biggest hope and ally in all of this...only to be just that.

She is aware of Natori's feelings, but Diana is still going to support Natori because to her Natori's happiness is of higher priority than having Natori.
That's why Diana turned down the reward from winning the tournament earlier: https://mangadex.org/chapter/84d88871-893b-4418-bcc7-8c6c2971410a/9

Or as Diana herself said before https://mangadex.org/chapter/bf6bc8d2-b308-444e-adfe-9e436ee7f166/28

 

[alfirizkyr]

oh I understand what Diana has said and resolved to do. But unless her will and resolve are stronger than orchicalcum, wanting someone and simply settling for seeing them happy with someone else will wear down on a person. Hence, my sympathy for her.

 

[Serverclosed]

Didnt the prince kill Lapis in the original story? This feels really out of character.

Well, if nothing else she's not giving up proper until Lapis answer Natori's feeling properly.
She tried to give up before, but what brought her back was Lapis being indecisive about the whole thing.

In some way I think that's why this needs to end as poly, Diana's decisiveness (recklessness) is a good influence on those two 'cowards'.
Natori lacks resolve to push forward, fearing failures.
While Lapis is too bound up by her past to accept a new future.

In the OG Lapis enacted a plan that caused so much damage the prince/Diana were forced to put a stop to her.

Spoiler

Which may have been her whole plan to begin with.
They let her be, country get fucked.
They kill her, country still get fucked because now the Saintess is dead so monster problems will continue to get worse.

I actually kinda figured Allie was introduced to replace Natori for Diana (over time, I mean). Assuming it all wraps up neatly in the narrative sense and Natori & Lapis end up a couple by story's end, Allie coming in and getting real close with Diana during the tournament seemed like the "well you're not getting the protagonist, but you get this awesome chick so it's not all bad"

Poly would make sense if Lapis fully warms to Diana and vice versa. If the only thing holding those two together is our Lovably Useless Lesbian OL, then I can't find myself being satisfied with such an uneven & unhealthy dynamic.
If the author can bring the two of them together as closely as Diana overtly/Lapis covertly wants to be with Natori, then I'll be happy. Otherwise, I'd personally rather everyone pair off in some manner than build a toxic lesbian struggle cuddle pile.
