@Sumatose depends on how you define "quickly" for us the readers, it was only one chapter, but she’s known Yulia, quite literally, since she was a newborn.

For a game she's so into that it caused her death, she seem to know barely anything about it.

it's always fun to read manga about adult/kid dynamics, I'm too weak against the wholesome

Yulia's impression of the king's relationship with his daughter is really judgmental. Of course he loves her as a precious memento of the woman he loved, but it's not like he doesn't love her or god forbid directing his desires at her. He's spoiling her and not expecting a whole lot from her as a result of that spoiling, but for Yulia to say he's keeping her like a "pet" keepsake of his departed concubine while she herself admits at the end of this chapter she's been clinging to the memory of the child's mother is hypocritical at best. She's "smart", so Yulia says, so she should be able to tell her dad she wants to do something.

Ideally, the king could be made aware that his daughter wants to do something positive for the good of the kingdom, or family, or whatever level she desires, but it just irks me that she just writes off the king's affection for his daughter that way. Maybe there's more to it that we haven't been graced with yet but I feel like the story was trying to make me agree with her position just from what has been provided thus far.

That said, I really love this take on the isekai villainess, since she can't directly control her actions, so avoiding that villainess fate is harder than simply "becoming a good person" every other one of these stories seems to leap on.

The king might love her for real, but isn't he going to marry her off like a chess piece anyway, so the pet analogy isn't that far off anyways. Just offensive of his affection I guess. Let us just wait and see how this goes I guess.

@Mizumachi That's a fair point, but we haven't seen him express that intention at all yet. Frankly with how he acts towards his daughter, I would honestly expect him to be one of those kings who has a hard time marrying off his daughter, and even when he might find himself pressed to bring the issue up, will end up folding on it.

On the flip side, the fact that he's NOT forcing her into any kind of bridal or womanly training is actually an indication he's not intending to force her off to marry. Otherwise he'd be doing her a massive disservice since that sort of knowledge was ingrained early and often.

Then again, she's REALLY young. I mean look how tiny she is compared to Yulia who is barely an adult. She can't be more than five-six years old, tops. The fact that the princess is maturing fast and wants to help out could easily go over the king's, or anyone's head. It's the same way I used to beg my mom to let me help doing the dishes when I was that age--it's not like they left me in charge of the task, though since I was persistent she would humor me and let me help out. But was I really helping? Or was I just playing do the dishes? That's why I think Yulia's impressions are weird, at least right now while she's so young. If the King becomes a really terrible father I'll eat my words.

Pretty nice story. I hope they could be happy. Reminds me of Anne from Bakarina
