It is revealed Shneider is already aware of the misunderstanding and is desperately looking for Rhonya. It is implied he leaves school (probably even skips classes) to look for her. His first stop is to always sincerely apologize ot her grandfather and hoping he finally discloses her whereabouts but fails. He remembers one of his love rivals, an elven prince (whose name escapes me ATM), the same elven prince someone spoiled me proposed to her and travels to the elven kingdom and meets the queen instead. The elven queen is the highest authority of the elven kingdom (whose name also escapes me. Really sorry! *bows*), her husband, the king and brother, the prince being 2nd in command.
The conversation can be summarized to 3 things
SCUM, CONCEITED, YOU USED TO BE ADMIRABLE
What made me mistakenly go aww~ before reading vol.02 and the last parts of Vol.03 prologue was basically Shneider's determination. With this, my earlier spoiler last chapter about Shneider berating Rhonya for not correcting the misunderstanding might be false.
Back to the one sided roast with Shneider by the elven queen.
Shneider bows his head (well, he's still a prince, crown prince sure). Queen is not pleased and is looking at him like filth.
Queen be like: So the kingdom finally corrected their mistake in the misunderstanding at the cost of such a high quality gem leaving society and nobody knows where she is. Shneider begs for her location. Queen laughs (insert with dead eyes) and calls him scum multiple times, even lower than scum. She reminds him it was because of Rhonya he was a man worth admiring and grew wonderfully (*this is my interpretation* and if she could tell him, as a woman, how insulted she was for what Rhonya had to go through) both as a person and as a lover. She teaches him her role as a ruler, in a woman's POV, a man needs someone, something to protect (that's why she left the kingdom's people and defensive affairs to her husband and brother), her role is more of a symbol and judge. Btw, she allowed her brother to ignore his responsibilities for a bit until he can meet Rhonya again (Queen basically wants her as a sister in law), the elven prince is waiting at his and Rhonya's "special place", the place where they first met, a flower field on a hill where the Lotus faeries asked her to tend to. The elven prince is hinted to have fallen for her at first sight (has no physical appearance yet from the translations) and is one of the few men Shneider considers a rival and is fully aware of his feelings for Rhonya (even getting "hurt" at the thought of Rhonya being with another. The Queen reveals the reason why the Prince did not confess because anyone who could see their seven year relationship (either started when they were 6-8, Rhonya's age btw is currently 16 in the translations, Shize is 24, Sena is 21/23, Ryuse and Chise are both 20) were practically perfect so he didn't confess. By allowing him to skip on his duties, the Queen hopes his brother confesses and attains happiness.
Back to the one sided slaughter: the Queen tells the role of the men of her life and tells Shneider her role as a wife, sister, and as a woman, is to prevent men of their life from getting CONCEITED. She tells Shneider he became conceited and this is the result. Shneider is discouraged and doesn't give up. Her husband is exasperated and is wondering what is taking her so long that she has to give up her precious time to such a person. The Queen teases him and Shneider is subjected to their flirting and near perfect romance status. Shneider doesn't give up. Queen laughs, (the narrative mentions how her eyes are NOT.LAUGHING.AT.ALL and is all (very informal paraphrasing) "did you not hear me? After all the wisdom I have told you, YOU.NO.LONGER.DESERVE.HER, your first step into becoming a decent human being again leaving your scum status, other than realizing your mistake is to LEAVE.HER.ALONE
Shneider leaves and his day is once again an uneventful one. He heads back into the academy, Misano spots him, runs towards him. He closes his door on her face. She bangs on his door proclaiming, she was right, to believe her, Rhonya was the one in the wrong, the one jealous of her. Shneider stops her by screaming behind his door, (Rough paraphrasing again😓) "Stop it Misano! We were the ones in the wrong. It was all a misunderstanding! I've broken up with you already. Leave me alone! If I see you, I can't stop myself from blaming you! Misano leaves heartbroken.
Question to those who've read this far?
1. Can you see the spoiler of Shneider berating Rhonya true judging from the prologue despite the narrative mentioning he's desperate in asking her forgiveness?
2. The same spoiler I've seen/posted last chapter, because Shneider can only scream at Misano behind a door, is there any indication of him still having feelings for her?
