Holy cow, Shirayuki, you explained Kiki's situation in several words better that me in my unstoppable rant in comments...
It never ceases to amaze me how those people treat everything related to royalty almost like a divine miracle. And I was under impression that royalty and nobility in general in Clarines is much more open and "down-to-earth" than it was in reality. Especially given that they stay in the same inns and dine in the same taverns.
But I want more Yuzuri... Please, don't make her to stay in the back like this, only adding some greetings and words here and there. =_=
Damn, this manga is REALLY slow. Both in storytelling and the flow of events. It was almost four years since Lyrias incident happened already and they still going on about it!
@jak
or bring back that thief girl.
No. Just no. She was a good episodic character... but she WAS an episodic character. Bringing her back would turn this into a completely different type of story.
But I must say, I really want some adventures from the first chapters back. This stagnation is pure suffering.
