eh you say you are willing to be slave to barrier but i doubt your grand grand grand children would agree with that ? maybe lol
There's an incredible number of "parents" that don't see imposing something to their children's future (by example pursuing higher education like to become a doctor) as something bad... Even tho it wrecks mentally their children burdened by their parents' expectations.

Tbh, the moment they are born as a royalty is the moment they already have the shackle and that is making sure the citizens under them is safe and in his mindset deciding on sacrificing some of their time to recharge the magic stones is much better than having the citizens live in fear from the invasion of hollow tribes every night.

Orlbans or Albans? You've got both in the same chapter. Please be consistent and pick one.

I mean it makes sense that they hadn't thought about staggering the barrier usage, but they rushed through that segment real quick.

I think the prince might be able to figure out that the mysterious barrier will probably upend all their prior understanding, even without any information.

The shackle coming from the normalcy is what must be avoided, the taste of freedom can really turn the world upside-down...

The brother goes from "Tee Hee I don't know what you're talking about :p" at the beginning of the chapter to "Are you prepared to shackle all of your descendant? :mad: " at the end

Well, they're excited about having the barrier in the first place, I can see them being blindsided by the actual power requirements. And this is more everyday living then bureaucratic scheduling story. So I can see the author just skimming over these details.

And I don't know about the resonance barrier, simply because we don't actually know how strong it actually is and what the power requirements are. It could be absurdly huge, but be incredibly weak. Or it could be burning their life force subtly. And the Prince is sort of screwed on figuring it out, because technically, only 3 people would have the wherewithal to actually test/experiment on it. The Mana/magic conversion is very very specific to them being able to see and understand the mana.

He doesn't need to experiment to guess the conclusion: That if that was the power between 2 royals, then the power between 2 nobles might be enough to create decent sized barriers, removing the need for all this sacrifice in the first place.

I'm still surprised by how small the 4 nobles family appear to be. You'd expect every male from those families to be encouraged to be breeding bulls and have lots of children. At least, before they have to start contributing to replenishing the magic stones which drains them. When you consider that their life expectancy is lowered due to the dangerous process of filling up the magic stones, it just makes sense to encourage them to have big families.

Currently, there is essentially only the head of the Orlbans family who is responsible for filling up the kingdom's magic stone, so it's no wonder that such a critical job is being restricted from putting themselves in danger or leaving the country. If there were dozens or hundreds, they wouldn't experience the same kind of restrictions because they'd be expendable. In fact, Lia's training method can make anyone grow their magic capacity and once everyone has more magic, the 4 nobles will become less relevant.

I'd say that the current state of restrictions that the 4 nobles are experiencing is something that they are partly responsible for themselves since they've failed to increase the headcounts of their families in order to decrease the burden on each family member. Instead, they've kept their families small, which meant that each member would be incredibly valuable and have to be treated as VVIPs. They are in golden cages, and I don't think it'd be that difficult to break free if they wanted to, but they would no longer enjoy the kind of comfort they have now.

"Since the four lord enjoy special privileges, it's only natural that they have obligations and restrictions"

... well... yeah? That seems totally reasonable? I mean, that is the case for the noble class in general - they leave of the taxes, but must be educated to lead and protect the people (that's supposed to be the case anyway).
He says this line like it's an insane standard. :thonk:

To be fair, he says it like it is a deep and important thing with impact on all their descendants that they need to think over, very carefully. All he is saying is to not go into it lightly because it is a self-enforcing, permanent pact.
