Goddamn, the story from 200years ago is much more interesting than the "usual harem magic academy" vibe the present story has. Like, he was basically a god and it wasn't strange that everyone was going "sasuga my lord" left and right. Guy really helped the village with his miracle magic (even if it was just to let a certain horny housewife fully explore her kinks).
Now seeing the same behaviour from a friggin' princess of all things is jarring (even if we count on the ancient blood still flowing inside her), same with her guard. I think the series would be a little better had we had more of the current family interaction before we go full academy arc. At least Marthas relationship is fun and feels quite normal compared to the others.
Cool story tho'
