All the political stuff is fascinating and all, but it really makes you feel like the women are the only ones who get anything done lmao.

Gotta love the bait-and-switch of the obviously evil prince being replaced by the mama's boy, who seems disturbingly unconcerned about the stupidly powerful organization he's working with. Obviously, they're using him, too, but I'm curious to what end. Maybe they'll just kill him and puppet the other prince themselves

Also, it's the nut from the first chapter who was...danced until she broke (is that a metaphor for assault?). Not sure why she's blaming mc, since she was the one who pursued her fiance and tried to frame her, but like i said, she's a nut.

Smart move using someone who already has an axe to grind to get the job done. There's no way that can get tied back to you

Oh she's all the way from the first chapter? Damn that's far.

It really does seem like second prince is screwed. He's relying entirely on Daegaz without any people directly loyal to him. Everyone else is off being a traitor and could easily switch sides if second prince dies like a fool since noone is protecting him. And with how the fourth prince seems to just be partying while the youngest heir is missing, Faris is screwed.

i just realized the credit page is saying that people repost this scanlation on tiktok and that boggles my mind
wouldn't it be easier to read on mangadex instead of having to pause a video everytime you need to read a dialogue

 

[Cernunnos]

It's the bitch from the first few chapters!

 

[Chaosrunewiz]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

the first panel that shows the faris children (that shows them from the back) has the princess with the same cowlicks as Xan
but the second panel (that shows them from the front) she doesn't have them but they have similar bangs instead 🤔

Yeah that’s her. Honestly I would’ve 100% forgotten about her. If that first chapter wasn’t so freaking good. I legitimately consider it one of the best first chapters I’ve ever seen in a series.

And agreed. Their entire country is screwed and the only one is gonna come out on top is the weird criminal organization who already basically run one country And are about to take over a second one They are Stonethrow away from world domination

 

[masterhandss]

oh aint no way Pamela actually blames Connie for the humiliation she went through instead of understanding it as a consequence of her own actions. Even Connie's previous fiance that they fought for acknowledged his part in what happened. I mean I guess selfish people never assume their misfortunes are their own fault but still

 

[unime]

Hang on Pamela was a lady? Also, what is up with them trying to turn ladies against each other like
Many thanks

Having gone back and read those chapters, I don’t think it’s metaphorical. They used implicit threats and social pressure to keep her on the dancefloor until she collapsed from exhaustion.

Feels like a very high society thing to do. Can’t just run her out on a rail or beat her up or whatever, that’d be gauche commoner behavior – but if she danced at the ball until she collapsed, that’s not our fault, she did that herself. (Deniable implicit threats notwithstanding.)

oh man.. now old boring villain is back into the story
Although it is about time for villains to finally notice and target Constance

 

[Shrimperor]

Oh man i love how everything is coming together

Good to know. Someone in the comments called it a gang rape earlier (no I’m not freaking joke) and I was really concerned about what the actual implications were. It seemed way too insane for a noble party but the crowd definitely looked menacing during the scene, so I wasn’t sure

they did target constance but she have strong defense that they need to indirectly target her

I find it refreshing tbh, considering most of the time women tend to get shafted in many manga, being just damsels in distress or totally irrelevant.

Can the author stop adding hot evil ladies into the story? Like, there are so many good designs in this story it's unbelievable. I'm excited for the anime adaptation, but I feel it won't do the manga justice because of how good the style of this manga is.

Also, they had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

Thanks for the TL as always!

This is iirc the first villain that actually have a hatred toward Constance without any relation to Scarlet or Faris kingdom.
