Surprised there's not much drama with her finding out she's not like the other version of her. I mean, if it was me, I'd feel really inadequate considering the AU version of me is a badass.

So, let me get this straight, the second prince is "tainted" because he's a child of the KING and the KING's concubine and the other guy is the child of the duke, making him a nephew to the king at best, is considered to have "strong" ties to the royal bloodline? The only way he could have as strong or stronger ties to the royal bloodline is if his mother is a very "close" relative as well. In any case I would say that since it seems that the dead king was the one from the royal bloodline then it wouldn't really matter who the mother was, the second prince is the closest blood relative and the rightful heir to the throne after the first prince died.

Then again, I guess this could be one of those medieval "marry within the family to keep the bloodline pure" royalty things, which would mean that the inbred one is the "closest" genetic blood relative

Men of culture recognise each other. When Laffen says "my lover is an elf", Phinia response "it seems to be true?" and I think that's because the statement is both true and untrue due to the split timelines.

Until now I thought that the dwarves were speaking a separate language called the "voice of truth" which couldn't be used to state a lie, but I guess they've actually been speaking the common human language and Dwarves can just smell a lie.

I love the politics of this story, it's so cool that he's trying this cooperative approach with human allies instead of trying to force a brand-new kingdom into existence through war.
