@Ixiaz iI know how a feudal system works out. I know why the nobles have territory and why they have their own army. Military power = Influence, therefore Zenjijro is not really someone a noble would depend on. They could only try to win him over and kick Aura out of the game by making him a puppet King. With his modern knowledge, which is in my eyes somewhat lacking, he is still somewhat like a rich gold mine for her country which would only stabalize Auras reign than actually shake it. The only problem is that he stilll doesnt know the value of his casual talk, he is revealing pretty valuable information to another country during small talk. He just noticed what impact even the sllightes piece information on this world has, which was "normal" to him as the standards in his world were much higher than the current one. Zenjiro is only a double edged sword when he keeps revealing important stuff to people who arent meant to hear it. The merits far outweigh the demirits but my whole point was why does she have to worry about him gaining influence? they are practically a team it doesnt really hurt her, actually it can even boost her authority if used in the right way?! but she still treats him as possible enemy which is kind of stupid, they want to force him to take in a concubine? what of it? he can refuse it openly! What do they intend to do, how would that hurt Auras authority? Do they want to start a civil war? The whole feudal system is nuts, taking away the nobles power is the only way to progress anyway
