She's the only one with mystery to her at the moment. It seems we're still setting up a lot of things in this first volume, so I imagine we'll start getting deeper into Lapis soon. Each chapter teaches us more about Lapis, even when she's not physically there.

Here we learned that, like the prince, she apparently feels she is locked into a set path (possibly be birth) and that the prince has presumably tried to help her see another way. She mentioned something about this in an earlier chapter when she made a comment about playing her role (or something to that effect). We also learned, again, that Natori is in denial about her feelings for Lapis and that Lapis considers her "responsibility" like a game of "chess," that leaders should be willing to play and sacrifice for.

Right now her character is a bit more subtle and requires more reading between the lines and that's always going to be a harder sell initially compared to someone like Diana who is pretty upfront and mostly straightforward. This is good though because it means we have a lot of depth to get through between Lapis and Natori once the author starts in earnest. But this feels like setup for Lapis, and worldbuilding, before Lapis starts coming back into the focus more (physically at least).
The thing is, it's not like Lapis character is difficult to understand. But even the glimpse and bit we get from her aren't particularly interesting. Lapis may have some mystery surrounding her, but I don't even feel like caring about those.

They've not revealed her character yet, so what is there to understand? We don't know her background, her true personality, her current plans, her desires etc. Diana and Prince are open books, we pretty much know everything about them already. Lapis has not been properly introduced yet and that seems purposeful, since at this point she's so distant and shrouded in mystery (a mystery I'm sure Natori wants to solve).

Alright, that's a pretty creative way to take the plot. Bully for you, mangaka.

First page is foreshadow? Will that happen later?

The character training is literally training, when in game just success. I wonder gacha system in real life, will god throw away junk? Or accidentally throw SSR relic... Would like to see that happen. lol

Natori is a wise big sis. Giving motivation and advice to Diana and Gran, without game's cheat sheet this time. Or maybe don't have page left to explaining it, Lol

Ik this is very crackpot but I'm starting to suspectඞ that Lapis did her whole evil turn thing not because she actually hates commoners but to secure Diana and the Gran's position on the throne

For everyone thinking about Natori x Lapis vs Natori x Diana, you don't need to support only one of them. Poly route for the win! (Please it would be so nice to have Natori end up with both Lapis and Diana, subvert the usual love triangle)
