Isn't it an adaptation of a novel? Why blame the mangaka?is the mangaka wrote this because he liked the later seasons of GoT?
Agreed, I found it weird how people started calling her competent in the other chapter just because of the way she dealt with an embezzler. She isn't competent at all, she just wants everything to be about herself.OKAY BACK WITH COHERENT THOUGHT
the princess, now queen, not even once feeling slighted by shirley's obvious accusations because she can't fathom the possibility that shirley thinks of her as evil, believing that she is the center of the world. not unless shirley says "i hate you" directly. and now with more context as to how things work in azalea's mind, i can see how she has enough competency to rule while still being childish as fuck.
arguably, her childishness might be the reason she could be so decisive with her rulings, like how she dealt the embezzler mention in the previous chapter. it doesn't take moral complexity to decide that's wrong. not to mention, regardless of right and wrong, her selfishness is enough to make her unwilling to work together with greedy people who would try to use her.
but at the same time, she lacks the socialization necessary to understand that her selfishness brings ruin and like it's so fucking great to see how her policies turn more and more self-centered as the story progresses which diminish her competency greatly, making it a realistic portrayal of. well. a politician
what do you mean, first chapter was about a girl being betrayed and beheaded by her lover...I wish i had noticed the tragedy tag when i first started reading this beautiful manga.
I WOULDNT HAVE SUBJECTED MYSELF TO HEARTBREAK IF I SAW IT
Yeah, you sum up pretty much. Marsh doesn't want to be King so Daniras' plan is to present Azalea as a tyrant so she will get revolution'd and Marsh will be King. He said that servants being interred with the monarch's remains isn't really a fitting reward, but it will do for him. Assassination aside, the fact Daniras knows about Azalea's mental issue to the point he can gaslight her this far is amazing really.I'm here in the comments, confused, searching for a cork board and some red string to make sense of everything.
- The princess killed the king for her desires, but not Ezador
- The princess is accusing Shirley of the king's death, as an excuse to keep her in the palace.
- The other lords are getting angry at all the deaths / kidnapping of fiancees / don't believe the lie about the king's death and are requesting the return of Shirley
- Daniras (the prince's right hand man) hired the assassins to kill the princess, it failed
- Daniras killed Ezador because he was going to stabilize Reius in Caid's absence, but the princess could try to kill Caid anyday if he refused to marry her. So they killed Ezador to try to force Caid to return in his territory (until the fall of the princess) so it would be stable for the reign of prince Marsh.
- Daniras WANTS prince Marsh to be king, but the prince wanted his sister to take the throne. The assassins failed, the king died, the castle is a MESS. So the last recourse is to have the princess be executed cleanly, but for what ?
- Their plan is : Shirley will be killed (it would be cool if she didn't resist, so cue the blackmail with the servants life), the blame will be pushed on the princess and it will be the last straw on the camel's back for the other lords.
- A royal execution later and the prince will be forced to take the throne.
Am I right ? I feel like my brain is melting
