@Mogima Author couldn't come up with a better reason to drive plot forward, IMO. It's totally true that rumors or whatever wouldn't be shit really.

@Dragou Unfortunately for us, real life is such that these kinds of people are exactly the ones that will get power.

Why? Because we smart people knows about the responsibilities of power and know that power is more hassle than awesome.

Let me guess these are all the soul the the royal family sacrifice and the real reason for the curse wasn't the spirit queen but in fact these wrath resented the royal family so much that they curse the family and killed anyone that try to break the curse the queen probably try to undo the curse but after genrations it's probably even to powerful for her to handle

And that is why you need to just kill all the royals. Don't even attempt to reason with the scum, just kill them all. It's over once they're dead. Stupid ass MC, hope you and all the spirits die because of your stupid ass decision of not killing them.
I don't see how this protagonist can be considered to be "clever" (like mentioned in the novel tags) when all I see is an utterly moronic stupid brat who doesn't understand crap. Everyone has been telling her not to get close to them and that they're cursed and here she is, getting close to them as if she didn't know. Moron. Hope she dies. Too bad she's the MC. All a dumbass like that deserves is to die and become a part of the curse, because a worthless waste like that isn't worth anything else when they don't even listen.

People are saying just kill the royal family but I just genuinely can't even fathom how they have stayed in power. With this curse they are the only family in the entire world cut off from magic and therefore military power.

@uncl3scam IKR. It's amazing their nobles and another countries haven't betrayed and invaded them all this time.

@Siikalahna
Hope she dies
She's a reincarnated person, remember? Stupidity can't be cured.

@Kiriha The rumor will win. Why? Because Spirit Queen position is lower than the king with no magic. It's a human realm, not spirit realm, so it's justified I guess?

@kite722 You're right that their bloodline are cursed. And the silly thing is that the king thought that by marrying MC to his son their curse will be lifted.

Are you kidding me? How did he even have that way of thinking and author think its a good plot is beyond me.

indeed, why should they be afraid to tell the populace of the truth about why the royal family are cursed ? if the noble back on them, the populace will stand on them because he is the nation saviour, if the noble try to defame someone that has been the saviour of their nation, they will become eyshore in the populace (even if the populace is low on literature, i assume) and between the royalties and hero, i think the populace will choose their hero more

@mikoreimu Because they're dumb. Haven't you seen how so many times they do complicated things that would be unnecessary? Also, the ones that got cursed were from a really distant generation. But honestly, that shouldn't matter. With the king pushing his weight around on that manner they should show him his worthlessness and dispose of him.

So many ppl calling for the royalty massacre...

Rather than going nuclear, there should be plenty of non violent solutions. For example, she could help relocate her family into another kingdom, who would likely welcome people with high influence with the spirits. Or maybe even create a new kingdom and make her uncle the king, taking with them other people who would rather not be in a kingdom that is at odds with the spirits. At very least, the threat of doing so could be a used for negotiation.

Honestly, she acts as is this idiot king held all the cards, all the power. It's just petty stuff that he can do. Not to mention, can she really not see there is no point in humoring someone with unlimited greed?

But that curse... or rather a grudge as someone else pointed... It seems like the type of stuff that would not go away even if the royals died. Hell, it might even go for other people if that were to happen. She will probably have to cleanse it and free the suffering spirits (she can kill the royals afterwards if she must)

Has it taken a physical form permanently?
With this can the royals, specifically this prince, realize he's been acting trashy?

Thank you for the update💕

The people who are arguing that she/dad/Origin should just murder the royal family, don't seem to remember why the dad and the MC are going through this convoluted situation in the first place.

Ellen specifically cites her reasons for going through this sham in this chapter. She'd be fine, but everyone associated with her extended family would suffer. She knows this is dumb, but she reasoned that she was strong enough to deal with it, and felt she didn't have a choice. Her human servants, her Grandmother, her Uncle and his new wife. They don't have supernatural powers to defend themselves from physical and emotional(rumors) threats. They can't stay around forever to be bodyguards for everyone. What happens if the rumors make them unable to raise money/taxes from their citizens? Why should their citizens stay loyal to the lord if they're heretics that defile their country/religion. What happens if the other nobles shun them? Why would the other nobles rush to to provide military aid, if they're monsters/bad people?

Her Dad, is/was the strongest military asset the country had in its arsenal. It's not that other families can't use spirits (Only the royal family specifically is unable). It's that his family was strong and he specifically was the strongest, he literally contracted with the strongest spirit, Origin. The nobles in court specifically see it as a scandal that Agielle might disrespect their family. As was mentioned in previous chapters, his personal presence/return marks a deescalation for foreign hostilities. He's a "nuclear deterrent". Why would the other countries risk their armies for an invasion, if they could get nuked? You don't have foreign military adventures if there is a strong chance your entire army never returns. On the exact same note, what happens if this weapon decides to murder the royal family? Foreign countries would be scared to death. What would stop him from killing their leaders? So then they have 2 options, to assassinate him(might not be possible), or to /start/ a war to deal with him. The only hope he has for his brother and his family is if there is a detente. If he doesn't fight the royal family, there is peace and stability for the country and his family.


This isn't to say that this narrative is perfect, I definitely have issues with how the curse is handled. I'm not sure if this is because the readers have imperfect knowledge or if the authors just messed up the narrative. But there are definite holes in how this story is being told. We're told that the royal family is cursed. And we have the MC, Ellen personally see that the Crown Prince is infected with this darkness. If that's the case for the entire family. Why wasn't Agielle and her daughter cursed with a dark miasma, they're certainly of royal descent. Perhaps they'll handwave it, by saying that only males are cursed. But we're not told why this is the case. Even if this is true. Ellen has seen the King. Yet she doesn't notice this dark miasma on him. As it stands, we're not being told enough to make a proper judgement on the details. I'm going to keep reading and hopefully the story progresses with a better explanation of what's actually going on.
