AAAAHHHHH!!!!!1!!1!
Jesus, Judith is so fucking awesome. Best fake mother
EVAR!
Franz is clearly an idiot, if the royal guards are already in the slums then the only way he's going to get out of any of this without being slaughtered by Reudiger is if he runs
immediately. Judith is only useful as a hostage right now, and if he's in a position where he actually
uses her as a hostage he's just completely exposed himself to both Reudiger and the royal family, at which point anything he has left in this kingdom is going to go up in smoke regardless of what he does with Judith. The best he could hope for is to survive long enough to be able to dispose of Judith somewhere out of sight before he's hunted down like the worthless dog scum he is. Better to run as far and as fast as he can, and find some completely unrelated country he can maybe try to hide in while he rebuilds some kind of power base . . . Though even then, Winterwald is powerful enough to hunt him down anywhere he is in the world, and they have the motivation to keep hunting until they find him, regardless of how long it takes.
But still! Judith! Awesome! Absolutely brilliant! Total chef's kiss! The only thing that might have been better would be if she stabbed him in the
other eye, but given the risk of missing (given her presumably limited shanking experience), going for the largest target is definitely the right choice.
Leaderboard is as follows:
Franz's Hired hand: 0
Judith + High speed train combo: +1
Judith (against Isabella's arguments): +1
Judith (against Franz's guts): +1
Say what you will about Franz but atleast now we might be able to tell if he got the guts
He's only going to have guts until Judith decides whether to use them as garters, or to garrotte Franz while he's still breathing.
