Thanks Chicken Scans for the update! <3
[Rantings] So let me get this straight—did Yuri's gender change? I might have missed that part, but in any event, big reveal…
1. The King appears to be enslaved of sorts to Yuri for so e kind of medicine. He also seems to desire something pertaining to his deceased wife, the late Queen.
2. The Mac's fairy is incomplete, and likely her other half is under the control of Yuri.
3. The splitting of the fairy likewise is likely related to the splitting of the prince into two people, and most concerning still—there may be some über dark forces at work, like Yuri is using the prince as a body incubator for some nefarious immortality project, or something equally as heinous.
I'm wonder what the actual goal here is—simply save the prince? Use him to create some superweapon? Create a new body for the king or as a test subject so that he can bring back the late Queen? Some other plan that has the king being used as a puppet all while the King thinks that Yuri is trying to save the prince, when if fact e's doing something that only benefits Yuri (primarily benefits Yuri).
Things seem rather sketch, and we still haven't acknowledged that Ms. Gem is in-fact the dates pair of the princes. Which begs another question: What happens if the two princes are !edged back together? 🤔 Unfathomable powers? Instant death? Auto fate line with the MC?
ALSO, since little Ms. Forbidden Book actually CARES about Yuri—might we care say, LOVES her?! 😂🤣, will this have any impact on the cost of doing said magic in order to correct the balance? In other words, if Gem restores her friend to her full state of pure heart, without abusing the system, will the goddess of fate in turn bestow upon Gem a fair and equitable exchange on all magical transactions, something that would in turn equal out the magical debt that Gem constantly wracks up through her generosity and good deeds? If so, what's that gonna mean for Yuri?
Will Yuri attempt to commit grotesque evils by using Gem as some sort of sacrifice for eir malevolent acts, or does Yuri actually care about the prince, and this is all part of Yuri's plans?
