I like this manga, I really do, but I feel like it would benefit from having less verbose dialogue, was it really necessary to spend the whole chapter to reiterate that whole succession situation again? At least we got a semi confession though.
And not sure I'd agree it's an evil smile, more like a sassy smirk, Tilty looked way more evil at times
Since they mentioned she's spirit contractor, maybe more of a Fae thing where she's just doing this for lulz.
Basically that flash forward at the start of the arc with Euphie fighting Anis?
Non-0 chance of Lumi is off somewhere watching the whole thing with popcorns.
Or, hear me out, Euphie takes Anis as her bride and they both rule the kingdom together which they end up doing anyway, if I understood the ending of the anime correctly
