@jdjohndoe13 He said "She won't be hurt, she has good people by her side, there will be no harm done to her, so everyone wait a little longer"
How the hell would he know she won't be harmed?
"She has good people by he side"...well, if he means her circle of friends...they aren't by her side right now, and for all he knows she is currently being hurt.
Either he is just a blind optimist, which previous chapters show he isn't, or he is talking about the people who kidnapped her. How else, can he assure her safety, if he doesn't know her current condition?

@HOOfan_1
Here are the Romaji of that phrase:
[ul][*]katarina sama - well, it's obvious.
[*]ni - "to / towards / on", e.g. "teburu no ue ni" = (literally) "table's top on" = "on the top of the table" or "on the table"
[*]wa - "as for"
[*]saikyō - "strongest"
[*]no - possession particle, like 's in English: "Tom's car"
[*]goei - "guard / convoy / escort"
[*]ga - "is the one that", you can think of it as the verb "be", e.g. "neko ga kawaii" = "cat is cute"
[*]tsuiteimasunode - it's a "Present Progressive" form of verb that has over 20 meanings (just like "put" in English) with "node" in the end that means "and that's why" (in Japanese you say "I like apples and that's why I eat them" instead of "I eat apples because I like them").
[/ul]
So this sentence can be translated as "Because Katarina-sama's strongest guardian is the one that is X-ing" where "X" is the meaning of that verb.
Now let's check what meanings that verb has:
[ol]
[*]to ascend the throne
[*]to take the seat
[*]to assume
[*]to start on a journey
[*]to be an apprentice
[*]to arrive
[*]to sit on (something)
[*]to light up (e.g. a fire) / to turn on a TV
[*]to breath
[*]to tell a lie
[*]to vomit
[*]to stab / attack
[*]to be attached
[*]to stain
[*]to increase
[*]to take root
[*]to accompany
[*]to side with
[*]to possess
[*]to be perceived
[*]to be lucky[/ol]
Well, the only two of them that make sense (that's my personal opinion) are "to accompany" and "to be lucky". Which leaves us with two translations:
Maybe the correct translation should have been something based on that "being lucky" meaning?
Another weird place in the translation is when Mary suggests "we can just crush them" and Keith is worried that "it would take a while to pull that off". Why is he worried about this taking too much time?
Well, apparently, Mary used Japanese idiom "crush from one side" which was translated literally here. In fact, this idiom means "do something in succession, one after another". So her suggestion meant "let's investigate all suspicious people and places one by one", but, of course, she was grinning because it sounded as "let's crush Katarina's kidnappers". Sadly, word play can't always be translated easily.
In Japanese raws he said:
Google Translate says it means:
Which doesn't make any sense. So let's study it word-by-word, e.g. on www.romajidesu.com/translator website

This is going on my list of favorite series of all time, alongside Konosuba, Youjo Senki, and Kemono Friends
shits good yo
shits good yo
Thanks for the chapter!
Agree a little annoying that conversation took whole chapter. While vague what Raphael means is that a strong and of good character person is by her side so she's protected. Just a wild stab in the dark but he's likely talking about how Selena would be against hurting or killing MC and whoever the ministry managed to plant into the mansion. This is just guesswork but unless it's one of the minimal, faceless, staff the plant is likely one of the few characters who's made an appearance and talked. Considering Rufus (?, I'm terrible with names, basically the creepy butler,) is able to use Dark Magic and portrays a sinister aura he's more likely a disposable tool forged by his master who's faction backs one of the princes other than Alan, Gerard, and Selina's fiance, but not treated as a person so highly doubt it's him. Selena is being influenced by the butler and seems to believe that the whole plan is her idea so either a great actor or isn't her, and only other person who's made an appearance among the kidnappers is Lana so likely her. Especially considering she's heard about the MC before and almost doubled over laughing when MC admitted had forgotten was kidnapped. Plus she's too good at preparing and getting things for MC so quickly despite waiting on MC for only a few days. That and MC seemed to have recognized her smile from somewhere although can't tell whether or not the scene was shown or one of the things that happened but only shown in a flashback. In any case, Lana doesn't seem nefarious or weighed with guilt so doesn't look like MC is in any danger for the moment. However, prince and co aren't likely to wait long considering how worried they are and chances of things taking a turn for the worse. Hence, they'd need to gather a force to storm the mansion without word being leaked. Will be funny to see how MC's personality sways Selina and the butler into hesitating with violence at least, although if butler's master shows up things are likely to go south quick.
