Ok, I wanted to see that villain die, but I suppose I'm ok with this, just because, for her, going to the monastery in shame and be exiled from the nobility is a punishment equal or worse than death itself. I also want a reaaaallyy good explanation on why the business failed, but for now, I can only wait. As for the announcement of the second season... I have mixed feelings. For one side, I would've fine with 2 or 4 more chapters, showing how Ripley get's married, how Rose gets her deserved punishment and I suppose it'd be nice to see Etoile and Wright's happy ending, closing maybe with half a chapter or so on a 10-12 years time skip, showing how everyone's happy and all, it would have been nice. On the other hand, a second season means more of Ripley and the Duke's adventures, so i'm cool with that too. Cudos to the author and the translation team of course!
