let it be known, there had been an earlier translation of this chapter. it might have been bad, but it did exist xd

as for the chapter, thanks mother-in-law i guess. and it's a bloody shame the only result of the broken secret promise was an apology in closed doors.

don't worry, 61 makes up for it and future chapters too
would honestly be very interesting what they do after 62 and 63

I had forgotten about the "No Pre-Emptive Strikes" rule that the founding king of Ishtalica had made a fundamental part of the country's rules and traditions.
So because of that, even though the populace and the current King himself want to wage a war of hate and vengeance against Hyme, they can't because it would go against the very foundation of their national identity, and they have to give Hyme the opportunity to apologize.

So it's not that Ain needs to build up moral outrage and a buy-in from the populace to go to war against Hyme; the country already wants to crush the yapping chihuahua that is Hyme. It's that Ishtalica needs the legally and morally acceptable casus belli to act on their resentment.
And from how Ain reacted to the Chancellor and his grandfather's maneuvering, it seems like he doesn't care about getting revenge on Hyme.
I'm guessing his thought process is "why should I waste time waging a military campaign against these assholes when I've got waifus to have slice-of-life dates with, and my bureaucracy can handle crushing them economically and through international reputation without my interference".

I want them to ask to duel with Ain next. Let's add more salt to that wound, shall we?
He would be guided to witness sparing match Ain vs General. It would be on much bigger scale than he or his father could probably achieve.

For those curious where we are in the LN. We are currently at the near end of Volume 5, somewhere in the latter half of Chapter 9.

There are only 9 LN volumes. Based on 3rd party information, it seems the author just refused to write any further for the LN. Fortunately I believe most or all of the major plot points were settled by volume 9.

as much as we all want to see some murder, i think that's a smart policy. Clearly their country is more advanced and powerful than anywhere else in the world so the promise/doctrine ensures that they won't be seen as a serious threat, while also ensuring that nobody will ever try to hit them first. a decent sword and shield
