Should they found a connection between this and the fatso, and even more so if he does anything with the loli-hime, he's a dead pig meat. It definitely won't end well for him. Cain won't even need to go full force on him. Heck, even if he goes full force on his arse, it would still be justified and people of both countries, no matter the status, be it commoners or even the nobles, would still say "please, kick his arse, make him regret ever being alive".
it is kinda funny how mc's country really is dragging its reputation into the mud.
"mc's country? Isn't that the country which had the saintess fatally poisoned, and then 'miraculously' recovered so she could get engaged to that kid currently having aspirations for the throne through engagement to the princess? Also, wasn't that the country which had someone kidnapped in broad daylight near their noble's school, just as the empire's princess was passing by, dodging a bullet by pure chance? And which when she reported it didn't give her an escort resulting in her almost getting kidnapped by the same guys later? And those guys turned out to be connected to upper nobles? And wasn't that the country with a kid with aspirations to the throne through engagement to their princess, who suddenly was engaged to the empire's princess after 'coincidentally' 'rescuing' her?"
Overall, they keep on getting foreign dignitaries into real deep troubles, where they are supposed to be safe. And they keep on keeping said dignitaries within their own borders permanently after they visit, "engaged" to their likely-to-be next king.

Agreed. At this point, the fatso needs to be a dead pig meat, and the meat needs to be served in an international convention as a deterrent.

Actually surprisingly common in stories that have lots of smaller plots, especially TV series with single-episode plots. If you actually summarise what the MC is involved in during one or several seasons, it can quickly become very suspicious in how troublesome things always happen around them. Even if it's the MC's job to solve things like that, like a cop or detective, there are often plots that happen outside the MC's job that somehow end up very similar anyway.

Yeah, pretty much what the others are saying:

That would be the incorrect course of action here. He's more or less on his own, with no back up at all, and going up against an unknown number of assailants.

Consider the stuff that MC has done so far. Lord Corgino and his allies won't do anything less than absolute overkill when making a move against the MC. Which means that this force would probably comprise an unusual number of high-level thugs.

Not that this butler actually knew about that. But he was right in taking the safe path. Had he acted rashly, he would have been beaten down with sheer numbers, and then Princess Lilu would have been taken as well.

After all, a black market slave auction would make a killing were they to offer up a bonafied princess as one of their offerings.

So yeah. Butler-kun made the right call. And then the Princess made the right call in making sure Cain knew about it as soon as possible. Because as we've seen, Cain was able to find out very quickly where Parma is being held at.

Sighs But then, the Princess decides to get directly involved. Dammit, girl!

Now I just hope that they'll be able to make a connection between this and Lord Corgino. His supporters won't be able to help him at all if it comes to light that he is kidnapping their very own citizens. (And doubly so if they try anything with Princess Lilu.)
Your forgetting one other major factor, They are foreign diplomats. Getting in a fight in another century and taking matters into their own hands has major consequences. If they were to attack a nobles men it could but used to justify a war.

It's nice that this princess actually Considers Cain's feelings and wants him to want her, compared to every other marriage partner who has, thus far, forced Cain into the marriage (and then acts like Cain is a playboy who cheats on them - which he should).
Though I'm sure his arm will be twisted into the proposal again.

Indeed, how dare a BUTLER is self-aware of his own combat ability AND prioritize the safety of the person he's serving.
CLEARLY the BEST option was to just go YOLO against unknown amount of enemies and put his master at risk.

I think the majority of you are thinking about this like i was saying he should attack them, etc, no what he should have done is one of 3 options, i'll post the slightly risky first 2 first as to be frank, he probably doesn't give a damn about parma (this isn't a knock against him btw, logically speaking he has no reason to care about parma in any way that would interfere with his job in this case, as that's how a guard should act arguably) but i'll post them anyway, the first is to immediately take the reigns of the carriage and tell the carriage driver to get the authorities while he got his master to safety, the second was to have the driver follow them at a distance, the third was to immediately tell his master and suggest a course of action instead of dragging his feet about it, it's less obvious here than it was in the novel but he hesitated to tell the princess when he saw her get kidnapped, the first 2 options are risky in themselves so i'll give maybe you wouldn't want to do those but he should not have hesitated to tell his master, which is a rule of honor in noble society at least this kind of nobility.

I would also like to state that you should pay attention to the final part of this chapter, just in case some take it as a spoiler i'll spoiler tag it.
He STILL led her to the kidnapper's den and took her there, i mean you can argue rank but there actually would be presidence that under extreme circumstances like this, he could override his lady and keep her from danger even if she tried to get involved, the fact he still takes her to a den of snakes completely renders his character as idiotic.

Now again, i like this series, i even like it's direction, but this one segment always annoyed me because of his hesitancy and what i posted in the spoiler, so yeah i can't really give a ok for that, it's always completely defied logic to me and comes across as a breach of his station, but maybe it's just me.
Not gonna tell people to agree with me here, just annoys me.

So were you went wrong that got you treated as a fool, you jumped the gun, your mad about things we haven't been shown yet. The only part that has happened was changed or skipped. You also seem to be misdirecting what your mad about, your mad at his inconsistency, but it seems like you werent quite able to put your finger on what bugged you about it, or are just having trouble voicing it, your wording to avoid spoilers in no way reflected that what your annoyed about. I know you were trying to be vague do to spoilers, but it didn't in any way come off like that, you should have waited a chapter. As at this point yes we saw at the end, but she could have snuck out bypassing him, or serval other options.

No, everything i mentioned has been shown or mentioned, and no i didn't jump the gun, you can claim i did if you want though i really don't care.

Sigh i guess i'll explain it as simply as possible.
I am mad that he hesitated to tell his master that her friend had been kidnapped thus delaying possible rescue measures (not to mention breaking his own oath as a servant), if he did it because he was worried she'd go after her he'd have a excuse, but as i said at the end of the chapter it's pretty obvious that he still did nothing to prevent that so his actions are both paradoxical and foolish and in a more strict society would be classified as insubordination in the first case endangering his charge in the second.

Look i don't care if you don't agree with me, i don't care if you got a problem with what i said, but at least don't make up me saying something i didn't.

What is this 'oath as a servant' bs you keep spouting? He even said that his first priority is her safety.
If he tell her right away, knowing that she'd likely charge in given her personality, wouldn't that be also 'wrong' in your eyes because:
endangering his charge in the second.

if he did it because he was worried she'd go after her he'd have a excuse
He wasn't just worried, he KNOW she has that kind of personality.
The best he can do is try to convince her it's a bad idea to go after them (which he did in the carriage)
But SHE is the one who has the final say, if she order it he can't stop her (i.e. when he told him to head to Cain's place)
