I'm in Love with the Villainess - Ch. 56 - Settlement of Interests

The point is that Claire represents that small fraction of ppl that actually is trying to do good, but the way the show portrays the whole nobility as a whole is quite realistic... when the majority are quite corrupt lol.

I kinda get that, but at the end of the day they call her a "true noble" and that nobility's true goal is to serve the people, which they fail to do. It glorifies the whole thing

Yes, because Claire glorifies being a Noble and that interpretation of Nobility is key to understanding Claire's character.

This is the woman who said "Poverty is evil. And our politicians are neglecting those citizens that live in this wicked condition. In other words, the flaw lies in the system itself."

Claire knows that the system is evil. But she's a part of the system. She can't undo her entire history of nobility and it's the only way she knows how to live. Rae has made every effort to show her how to live, but time is not on her side.

Is a king truly a king without people to rule over?
These nobles are all trash. They think the commoners would be nothing without them... Yet they are no better than leeches who suck up the blood and tears of the actual working people. Nobles were never needed. People have managed to survive without them. But nobles cannot exist without commoners to take from.

Nobility is not inherently evil. Basically a noble lord is a governor.
As a governor needs to be competent and well educated, it's best to train someone specifically to be a governor, especially in a time where every hand was needed and higher education required too much time.
To get the most competent and educated governor possible, you train the future governor from childhood.
To do this, you need to have a family that is willing to give their child to the governor's estate for full time education, and the family most likely to do that is of course the governor's family, as they can still stay together with their child.
In conclusion, until the development of a dedicated middle class, nobility was by far the most effective form of government on paper. Only after the development of a middle class were commoners capable of getting higher education, as they had less tasks to do.

T1here's very little the manga didn't adapt, and most of what's missing is for the best (ever heard of the warehouse scene?)
That said there's this one joke in early LN2 that was cut because the scene it's in was cut entirely and i'm very sad

I’m kinda curious, what is the warehouse scene anyway? I guess I need to read the original LN now that they confirmed they’re not adapting the rest of the series, but are some scenes really bad or something?

It's not terrible but it's unnecessary and could've put off people.
Basically it's a "locked in a gym storage" event, Claire's gotta use the bathroom, Rae makes her a private bathroom with magic, Claire gets shot with a bidet (for cleanliness) which surprised her.
There were just better ways of doing a relationship scene that advanced the plot cause it's otherwise just a page filler.

 

[MelonManic]

Bro gotta watch his touge before his throat gets slit in his sleep, misha don't play games

Damn I knew bro wasn't shit, and her wrong mate, the nobles owe everything to the nobles and the people owe everything to the people, such a simple yet large mistake man, smh

Rae... What do you know about claires impending death? Why do I feel were getting rather close to it? ...wait claire does have an impending death right? I'm not confusing this with the other villainess Yuri right, oh god I hope not

HAVE A NICE DAY

I see, I can see why that got rid of that scene then. It does seem like pretty powerful magic to just create an entire bathroom though and I guess it could be useful in a fight. I mean, making a bathroom obviously isn’t useful but making walls or something might help if she can make them fast enough.

The end panel was so cool, "AS long as we have each other, everything will be alright"... Thanks for the chapter and translation
