this is SUCH a satisfying read after countless underwhelming political debate scenes in many isekai/villainess/regression stories
the way the father is CLEARLY being burdened by the position knowing full well that he has no power as a figurehead, the way wakamiya DEFINITELY knows this. i feel like the image of the feeble emperor falling on his ass overwhelmed by the true golden raven might be wakamiya's intention to begin with. because the legitimacy of the meeting, of his enemies' arguments, immediately fall apart when the "power" that backed them is no longer a faceless authority but a man who cannot stand up to wakamiya
also lmfao fanservice for the foot fetishists in the last panel
