I doubt he really said "it's a fucking coup" or is it? Because it's literally a fucking coup


Thanks for the chapter.

The old man is not wrong, though: That whole drug situation has been going on for a good long while, with dead victims to boot, and the crown indeed does absolutely nothing in practice. Sure, they have some pesky investigations going on, but to be honest those investigations have been more like excuses, with no authority and no results. Now that the shit hit the fan, the crown can say they were busy investigating, but that's it. It was just a sham to free them from any responsibility if someone accused them of ignoring the problem. Let's hope they don't throw Kai to the wolves, claiming major Enfield was responsible for investigating, but reported nothing back, for who knows what reasons.

Now i understand what is happening, this isn't about turning the boys and girls of the academy in a bunch of nymphomaniacs to poison the future generation of leaders this is about discrediting the queen, Valor is probably working with Dhala or at least with the "nation" of the girl that seems to be the leader of the student. Even if they stop this little orgy, he will use this to convince the nobles and upper class that the queen and her close ones are incapable of ruling, the crown prince is already infatuated with the little slut that really is a little slut, she was acting like she is innocent to make him doubt himself even more to weaken his claim to the throne.

Valor must have some kind of deal with that governor-general of Dhala, he maybe would end the war when this little clambake concluded.

Am I dumb or did I miss some foreshadowing? Why is the ringleader turned out to be the student council girl, while she is in fact REALLY close with the Richard or whoever is that noble claimant's name, and yet somehow he doesn't realise her orgy party?

It would make so much more sense if the ringleader is the school's nurse, with it being a drugs and all and can just "administer" the medicine which turned out to be the drugs.

Also, why did the drug somehow related to the coup by the uncle? Isn't the drug distributed by the neighbouring nation? And also what does the student council stand to gain by the whole coup? I lost it when they started to explain the family tree

I'm a little lost as to how a massive "fucking" coup is a Dhalani plot here. It is just to ruin the reputation of Avalon, or is it a distraction for an even bigger plot. Also what is the frickin motive behind the student council prez's actions, is it just to stick up to the her empire or what.

@musicfreak12 The ringleader is the student girl, she is from an annexed nation of Albion that has its own rulers but it still belong to Albion they must not like that, she could even be just someone that is pissed of with things too, the nurse obviously is evil too but her role is of a provider, never that a mere student would be able to do all of this without help.

The other students don't wise up because, the drug makes their minds weak to suggestion ( which probable they were already, bunch of sheltered little idiots ).

I have to say there were plenty of foreshadowing, you must have lost or forgotten it, suggest you reread the arc, now or after its completion.

@alacaelum Good summary. Yes, in hindsight, now the plan seems obvious and properly foreshadowed, but I didn't think they'd be so bold. And you're right, Katz Valor must have some connection with the plot. The key is whether he's a clever chessmaster (one who realizes that he can reap the benefits whether the plot succeeds or fails) or a smug snake that believes he's using Dhala and/or their plot when he's actually the one being used.

@Kaarme You're right, this doesn't bode well for the queen's reputation. Even if the plot fails, it will be a PR disaster. Sadly, it's also realistic: in an effort not to step on somebody's toes, they allowed a much more serious catastrophe to fester. I think the only way they could salvage it is if they prove that Valor is involved. And even then, others will protest.

council pres is a pawn of Dhala, she s not really close to richard just manipulating him. she s also not the ringleader Dhala is.

as for the new character we don t know if he s in the plot in Dhala side or just a opportunist, but probably the first.

Dhala wants to weaken the nation, puppet ruler would be the best, but if they bait enough animosity between the royal family and the nobility it'll be good enough.

At best they let the sons and daughters degenerate at worse they'll need to kill some of them so it'll end badly for the royal family unless mc can find proof of the plot

My 2 cents is that the bad ending the council pres is inevitable ( probably will be the counterpoint for the other girl, one lived for revenge the other did not ) and so is the end of many others characters in this arc ( like the prince )

So I'm thinking the obvious fallout, regardless of the solution at the academy is that a conniving politician, likely the one that somehow knows of the investigation, will accuse the Queen of inadequacy. As grounds for her removal, and her heirs, anyone she's chosen will also be deemed not worthy of the throne. The way out of this is to provide evidence that the politician stirring shit up was involved with the plot from the start. It'd show that, yes, he can shine light on the Queen's inadequacy but at the cost of his own leadership. Why would other nobles follow a man that willingly put their own at risk?

The good endgame, the ideal one, would be that the prince comes out of this having shown resolve and leadership. He would be the one to expose the shit-stirrers, thus showing that he does not share the inadequacies of the Queen while also showing his intelligence and skill at political maneuvering. Basically this incident would steel his resolve and result in an actually good King. Not a manipulable one (an ideal King for the nobility), but a competent one in his own right.

Sadly, that's highly unlikely. Unless he grows a pair in the next chapter, MC will do all the work and just say "oh the Prince got the answers". It'd be unfavorable to the nobility, to the royal family, and to the people at large.

What's with all the swearing? Is this Mangastream?

Adding "fuck" and "cunt" to your sentences doesn't make you cooler, you know.
