The Holy Grail of Eris - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - It's Almost As If...

[Shdill]

Oh. I'm addicted. Translator? Translator, I love you.

 

[Epicredeemer]

That was FUCKING GLORIOUS

 

[Serenata]

It was great, especially because she didn't really had a card up her sleeve, yeah there was the revelation of the kiss that give her fuel but the fire was lit the moment the rumors were spreading... What she did had however was PRESENCE and dignity, with that alone she made the others side with her with only words... Specially with that kid, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?! I'M RIGHT HERE!

 

[PersonaJXT]

Interesting. Execution is still a tad weak (especially the lead up to this chapter), but I do like what it's trying to do. I'll throw it onto my follow list for now.

 

[kyara]

That was really cool, even if it wasn't truly mc herself.

 

[onionskins]

This is very good, I kind of want to touch myself after this.

 

[SilentStorm]

Can i ask for some spoilers, does Pamela come back, i get that she didn't die, but they imply she is going to dance for hours and hours without rest and has just suffered social execution, granted, she wanted to do the same to Constance for being a "hypocrite" even though she had been shown to just be nice so far and likely would have gladly seen Constance get the punishment she got, but i still wonder if Pamela will come back for revenge or is too traumatized to do anything.

 

[Sharkexpert12]

I expected the fight to be less one sided. But she really went for the kill instantly wasting no time trying to do anything to get people on her side just brute force.

 

[xironi]

Oh wow I didn't expect that.
All the evil lady's followers are still around as sleeper agents waiting to be activated.

 

[Xantheosse]

@zelara
Not a spoiler since idk what'll happen next, but I'm guessing that the ex-fiance's family will have to make a compensation payment as an apology for their son disgracing Constance by cheating on her and (maybe?) associating with the woman who tried to falsely accuse her of theft, even if he didn't have any part in the accusation.
I doubt it'll cover all the debt, but it might put them in a more recoverable situation.
The real question is whether her idiot father will stop spending money as easily as he breathes air.

 

[spicypepperpasta]

Oh yeah, the debt. Time for this posessed princess to go after some deadbeats, fuck yeah.

@Simkin:

I disagree with the majority of the comment section here.

No real justice has triumphed here, since in my opinion the actual threat is the utter ease with which the entire noble crowd throws whomever they want to the wolves. Playing judge, jury and executioner.
Before Scarlet took possession of Constance everyone in the crowd was ready to go along with a rash accusation despite several nobles knowing the truth. Only after a complete reversal and thorough dissection of the bullshit spouted by the real culprit Pamela does the nobility shift its focus on her instead. And suddenly everyone acts sweet toward Constance as if a few minutes ago they weren't ready to tear her apart. It even goes as far as having Pamela presumingly put through some hellish torture ending with her death after having safely escorted Constance off the premises. You know, for shits and giggles, because they can finally get their murder-boner on again after ten years since they did the same with Scarlet.

tldr; Constance is innocent, Pamela gets an over-the-top punishment, the nobles are the real evil here. Yay for justice?

Good post

 

[end_transmission]

I really enjoyed the first three chapters but hadn't anticipated it would be just as satisfying as when a different Scarlet

Spoiler

The Bloodstained Princess from https://mangadex.org/title/38088/may-i-please-ask-you-just-one-last-thing

handled her accusers.

We all agree that the nobles are bad, but the reason we don't mind is that Pamela clearly doesn't die, they are talking mostly about social execution, heck someone mentions that in the novel, Pamela comes back and is referenced, she is so not dead she goes to live with her family.

Too bad her social position is in tatters and it seems she becomes so traumatized she doesn't want to leave the house anymore, much less talk about Constance, which is still really bad, but considering the nobles here and her characterization, she probably would have laughed at Constance dancing for hours and hours on end while everyone mocked her, privately happy that the "hypocrite" got punished and her plan worked.

Which is also part of the reason people don't mind the ending, Pamela is not sympathetic at all, heck, she even implies she bullies other people as she didn't expect the boy to say anything after all she did to him, and Brenda seemed genuinely scared of her, she wouldn't have minded if Constance and her father fell into ruin or their lives got destroyed and their reputation shattered, she even smiled when she saw Constance looking at her next to her fiance before they kissed.

Punishment was severe, but she's not dead and she is getting exactly what she wished to do on Constance for no other reason than her being a simple girl with a motto of honesty and yet having an attractive boyfriend.

Wait I don't get the end, did they really set her shoes on fire or are they just making her dance until she's exhausted ?
