Well, prioritising other matters to his own son is a rather scummy thing to do nowadays, so it's understandable Zenjiro fell for it. However I see it as an opportunity as well: Largo saw first-hand how Zenjiro reacted to Carlos being threatened so he would warn the Twin Kingdoms to not push the issue too much in case he snaps, specially with some prodding from Zenjiro or Aura.

Moreover, the "decoy weakness" is not a bad tactic, if Capua knows the Twin Kingdoms can use Carlos to twist Zenjiro's arm, Capua could "provoke" them in that regard, counter them, and make them a political example to other countries and factions.

I hate how I always clench my butt whenever the atmosphere is tense in this manga

Also about the naval stuff, couldn't they just do a collab with that one girl that was once a captain of a ship? I expect them to use her knowledge when it comes to that stuff.
they can't because of 2 things
a) the girl has been an aspiring partner to zenjiro not their royal family and while she does know the twin kingdoms she has no affiliations with them past knowing Francesco and Bonna on a general basis and since she is trying to do that doing so in direct competion with the Capua royal family before she is trully accepted into it may cause the negotiations to break down
b) (and this is the bigger problem) the twin kingdoms are a Landlocked country aka they don't have access to the sea.

The problem is not the naval aspect, but the greater extent of their influence that comes from it (think missionaries greater range of travel), that's what the Twin Kingdoms are wary of. They want a cultural and influential counter to that if/when the Church comes knocking.

It is okay, Zenkichi.. You might look like a fool but I personally believe you have done a great job.

I just hope it won't go into a war territory. While Zenji inventing a gun or at least explosives is not that far-fetched if he can get his hands on saltpeter or niter (it might be easier to make than building a furnace for glass), wars do not fit the theme of this title.

This make me think of a certain mom who gone and fight in a literally battlefield WHILE she pregnant (big belly and all) and still overwhelming entire enemy army.
Oh, I used to read this until I happened to read a spoiler that made me ask ”WHY?” like in some stories that add time travel out of blue (it's not a spoiler, just a comparison).

What I would do to have the chance of tearing off Giuseppe's jaw and feed him his own heart. Fuck, his greed is too much. Now he's going to start a war between Capua and the Church? For what? Is it so that Capua would be desperate for Sharowa's support and protection which would in turn effectively make MC the bastard crown prince's subordinate? Fuck that. Capua needs to get military support from the northern continent country and demolish Sharowa.

You can't "formulate" plutonium, it's an element, a metal... you mine it and process it... Petroleoum wold be way cheaper and easier to manipulate than plutonium.
yeah. there is ton of dinosaur's bones after all

Hard to be a perfect wife when she can easily discard her family if it's for her kingdom.
that is a hard dilemma. It's either regretting losing her son to prevent war or protecting son while losing kingdom's political standing

IIRC she literally said to herself she can't imagine a life without him anymore
Just mean she's reluctant to lose them and will do as much as possible to not lose them. But if she's forced to make a hard choice, queen mode kicks in. Of course, maybe she really lost her queen mode already, but I doubt it. Shrug, who knows.

Sure, but the previous poster is talking about her being the perfect wife, and a perfect wife's duty is pretty much in conflict with being a ruler, which she is.

Plutonium only exists in nature in trace amounts. You're not mining for plutonium. You'd get maybe a few micrograms in every kilogram of uranium you mined. Any meaningful mass of plutonium that exists has been produced by humans via intentional nuclear reaction.

You could argue that an isekai world might have some amount of primordial Pu-244 because its half-life is so large (almost 100 million years), but their planet's age is, on a geological scale, the same as Earth's.
