Honestly I’m rooting for the demon queen, it sounds like she took over peacefully and implemented a bunch of welcome reforms that helped the people out, and then blue hair girl and mizuki just show up and start murdering her childhood friends
@Cornonthekopp Not quite right. Yes she's been good in her take over and all that, but the elite four were the ones to attack first, even if the princess summoned MC to fight them.
Issues are complicated [ul]because it seems that Gerbera enriched the populace materially but conscripted them to labor;
because Mizuki was misled by Copia; and
because, if Gerbera's reign is legitimate, the Elite Four were not bound to let Copia and Mizuki draw first blood. [/ul]
For few people who are wondering about Maou reaction. A small reminder that Butagigas killed one of the elite four. You know, one of her most trusted and beloved friends.
