now it's getting personal!
it's so dirty politics,
even innocent child whom not yet said their first word,
forced to be involved in politics

 

[Wataterp]

I understood nothing except that the king and giuseppe are snake-like bastards.

Wait it's been so long I forgot why/how his kid is related to the twin kingdom bloodline. Was one of Zenjiro's ancestors from there?

It's suspected that yes, MC's ancestor was from the Twin Kingdom.

Now we're getting another point of view of the story... Still can't completely trust this guy

Ok, I'm aware that this manga used names based on places and general culture of Spain and other countries based on its language. It's ok, it's cool, I'm also a spanish speaking guy (It's my native tongue). But...

MENTECATO? Seriously? I can't help but let out a chuckle. That is making my day so far.

Fuckin' cuck! Now they're trying to involve a baby that might not even inherit both of the bloodline magics into their problem.

Welcome to real long-term power politics in an aristocratic setting.

The King and Guiseppe aren't snake-like bastards, they're wrangling Reality™ which clashes with Custom and Taboo, all the while trying to prevent a war between Factions which the situation can easily trigger.
Which, yes, means they have to make some Nasty Choices. Including foisting some of the internal tension and dissatisfaction off to a handy foreign nation, using a "clueless" dignitary from that nation.

Makes me wonder which old conflict the author uses as the base for his story.

They keep messing with the mc like this they are going to make an enemy they wish they never had.

 

[fumu]

wait, is prince francesco real father is suspected to be prince charles (jilbel) and the mother is tosca (sharowa)? isnt tosca the wife of prince giuseppe? then is this what netori are about?

I understood nothing except that the king and giuseppe are snake-like bastards.

Let's put simply what I understood:

The Twin Kingdoms are ruled conjointly by two royal families, but the Unification faction, which includes both the King and prince Giuseppe wants to make it ruled by only one. Enter Francesco which has the lineage, and magics, of both; making him the obvious choice.
But that is a can of worms on its own. Many nobles rightfully will oppose such a move, so they plan to divert their attention with Zenkichi, Zenjirou's an Aura's son, which also has the blood of both the Capua and Twin Kingdoms bloodlines, making him a potential holder of at least two bloodline magics, one of them their own. This is a problem by itself and while the nobles are occupied with him, the Unification faction will make their move.

Then we have the dukedoms, which is a headache on their own. Simply put, they're divided into the nomad dukedoms which are poorer and more military-oriented, and the "aristocratic" dukedoms, which are richer, closer to the royals and more populous. They don't fully get along, and how to deal with them before the situation blows up drives a wedge between the king and Giuseppe, who favor leaving the nomad dukedoms to rot and degrade their rank, and Largo, which proposes aiding them for them to keep their rank because they're very useful.

And then we have Zenjirou who, like usual, is roped into this mess without wishing to. Sometimes sucks to be him.

His ancestors who came to earth where a prince and princess who eloped together there because their relationship would have been a political nightmare if they didn't.

As it should be; when it comes to politics, no one is completely without hidden agenda.

 

[screamdoom]

[megavirus]

Still unforgivable to use an innocent baby.
