@DreyDrey yeah couldn't have said it better myself. I do hope MC grows and stands her ground. She's pretty outspoken already and so she just needs to learn how to play in a similar field as that stupid princess/the nobles.
@NoSoup You'd think the onlookers would think badly of Edith but I think they're easily swayed by words. They seem to have a mob mentality. And that blonde guy who aids the Emperor looks to always be siding with Edith. I was really glad that MC's bro helped her out.
If Edith can't be punished this time, I'd still like the maid to get booted. She'll be ruined being of lower class nobility and all. And it'll still show Edith that she's not the only powerhouse from now on.
