Kuro no Senki II - Isekai Teni Shita Boku ga Saikyou na no wa Bed no Ue dake no You desu - Vol. 2 Ch. 8.3

I won't call Philip the worst guy.

Yeah, he took advantage of the situation that Elena's Uncle created, but in the end he is a vain person who was just jealous of Elena.

Technically he isn't harmful yet to MC, and it's also possible that he would remain a minor background character in the future as well.

Also, the LN Volume 10 focus is just my assumption based on the cover art.
It's possible that Philip's plot (if there is more) could be covered before that volume as well.

Also it would be better if you focus on the Title of this Series, as that would give more idea on where the Series is headed with its primary plot.

I said the worst guy "in the room". He's at least the worst guy in the ballroom.

So tons of sex? Admittedly, it was what first got my attention, but then the Philip plot got kinda distracting.
I'd say that, if the author never intended to properly wrap it up, then introducing that plot was a mistake.

Basically, the King dies. And because of a mistake on his Mistress part, her own naive Son ends up becoming the King.

And those who are against the current Queen take advantage of the situation to not allow the Princess (Queen's daughter) on the Throne, and use the naive Son of the Mistress as a Puppet King to control the nation. The Princess understanding the situation tries to fight back but is subdued by Rio, as their relationship is a bit complicated.

Those other nobles next manipulate the young naive King to declare war on the neighbouring nation, which forces MC to move out as well since he is a border noble.

Later on during the campaign MC uses the help of the Twin Elf girls to contact a Elf village, but later a higher ranking Noble tries to go after an Elf girl, which makes the Twin Elf girls retaliate and cut-off the Noble's nose.
So those Twin-Elf girls end up on trial and execution for harming a Noble and MC tries to stop that from happening.

And that basically proves my point about the corruption. I am willing to bet that Philip and his uncle are in cahoots with the Nobles who are manipulating the new King.
