What chapters were the arena again?

it was 62

 

[tekkenshu7]

Corgino, our staple 'conservative noble' turned out to be truly rotten. I was prepared to see him at the final moment, redeemed and revealed to have been doing a lot for the kingdom, but during the last several chapters released in the past months, he even deals with trafficking of personnel and dealing with a lot of underground stuff you might think of.
He is lucky he got a relatively painless end and the only ones who will face the consequences is his family, unfortunately.

CMIW, but isn't the elf knight also a princess?

Seems you are correct! I did not remember that.

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

Of course she's the demon princess. Nothing but high class hoes for Cain lol

 

[Fushiginiku]

Gotta catch 'em all

 

[Justking14]

He did not, he was holding back a lot because he didn't want to kill him. The moment he decided that Death it was, it happened almost instantly

He was also in a town with a heavy population. So he certainly had to hold back to avoid mass murder.

 

[Justking14]

how many of them are there at this point 5, 6, 7

How many bedrooms did they build for his wives? Pretty sure it was 7

princess, Duke daughter, other school girl, saint, elf, demon. Guessing 7th spot will be beast girl

WE FINALLY GOT RID OF THAT FAT EXCUSE OF A NOBLE

 

[Tatsuya-Kai]

The demon lords oversee the four different regions of the demon empire so I’d guess they’d be similar to something like a Legate/Provincial Governor of the Roman Empire.
At least that’s how I see it.

In classical nobility, a lord referred to a holder of territory, this is where the term"landlord" comes from, and a king oversees those lords and the commoners, usually acting as a bulwark against the nobility's corruption as well.

In goetian demonology though, there are i believe 6 demon lords, as well as demon presidents, princes and kings, the big bad satan or lucifer depending on your beliefs would be the demon emperor (though for us, that term would be "devil").

You'll notice another thing about cain's fiancee's, all of them are either royalty or some other form of important individual aka the saintess, it's possible that polygamy is rarely tolerated in esfort, but considering the politics involved here, it gives them justification for marriage to cain.

 

[Amariithynar]

Well, the official translation goes with "Prince of Darkness" as the title for Seth.

Also his wife is apparently the daughter of a Duke in Demon Society and seems to be of higher position than him.

Sounds like the Holy Roman Empire nobility, lol.

 

[Crim]

Unsatisfyingly quick end to corgino since he's been a thorn since basically the start, but oh well. Ty for the updates

 

[RhythmiC]

While true, there is also the fact that Demon's apparently follow Monogamy, as seen with Prince of Darkness and his Wife.

So, it's unclear how things would go with her.

It is and it isn't iirc. Thing is, the Baisas Empire is split between the capital where the royalty lives in their grand castle, and then 4 "countries" who are subservient to the Baisas Empire. In those 4 "countries", the top position which they call Demon Lord is based on a meritocratic system; while the royalty of the Baisas Empire is the true royal family of all demons. So the Demon Lords are decided by their strength because their society hierarchy is based on strength, and is not inherited based on lineage, while they treat the royalty as essentially divine kinda like the royal family of Japan IRL.

Each of the "countries" (I write it like that because the "countries" are small, and that the demon population is much smaller but also much stronger than the humans, and that the demons all live on the same big island) - are different from "country" to "country".
Seto is in a monogamous relationship, but not all of them are.

- This is based on what I remember from reading (and re-read a few times) the webnovel.

 

[Xonthelon]

We all knew she would be a harem member and some kind of princess, so no need to discuss that. But seriously, why are you surprised too, Cain?

Cain is really such a push-over. If he doesn't want war he should just outright say it. No matter how questionably competent the king is, he could never directly disregard Cain's opinion. Actually my impression of Ilstin is better than Esfort, they properly and harshly punished the villain, and didn't aggressively push harem members on him.

 

[Xonthelon]

CMIW, but isn't the elf knight also a princess?

Yes, her father is some kind of semi-independent grand duke, so she counts as a princess too.

 

[asdman]

My real issue is that the king is not going for a full retaliation against the Republic is due to the dumb Viscount working with them against the princess and daughter of Duke?

Like he could have easily argued that the viscount was working with the Republic against the crown. As he attacked such high profile nobility.

Very frustrating progression to a very frustrating story. Like man the dumb of trope of him collecting princesses like gym badges is already leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. Let's hope the story gets out of this slum.

In the webnovel he's much more haughty in that scene, and it's expositioned in the dialogue that the Esfort Kingdom is the one wronged and that it's basically irrelevant that Corgino was the one who instigated it. So then the king goes on to explain that because the Esfort Kingdom were wronged, it means that the Republic of Ilstin are the ones who needs to pay to settle the matter, and that the negotiation is merely to decide how much they need to pay.

I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler, because this is about what was changed in a scene that already happened in this manga chapter.

(Btw about the "for various reasons" when Lisabeth mentions in this chapter about how she was caught, in the webnovel she explained it better in that scene and says it's because she got drunk in a bar while drinking with strangers and accidentally let her human disguise-magic go when passing out and then woke up with the magic-sealing cuffs on her while inside a cage when she had sobered up.)

 

[Morose]

The problem is that this conflicts with what Cain monologues within chapter 62 -- first that Set (the Demon Lord who has four horns) once told him "High Nobility and above have four horns" and he speculated that she just might outrank Set [I zipped through the previous chapters from Set's introduction onward to see if I could find an actual chapter to reference, but if there was then I missed it]. And when even Dalmatia as a (retired) member of the Four Heavenly Kings knelt in her presence, it seemed to affirm to him that her rank was high enough to merit that.

That's the issue.
Seth said "High Nobility", not specifically "Royalty".
Both are different atleast in this context, especially considering that Seth's wife is from a Duke family and seems to be in higher position than him.
