"Equal in strength"
Just as planned? I wonder if there'll be repercussions later for hiding a lot more of his strength here. But the holy sword actually being potentially used as a "marriage gift" is quite the scheme there. I see princess isn't really an underhanded schemer given that she came clean to him about it, she's more honorable than I thought.
I suppose it's a good thing that he didn't need to use the "I'm already engaged" card that Schnee suggested. Although I would've preferred if they "revealed" their "engagement", because then that would stop any more political marriage proposals coming to either Schnee or Shin.
Until a comment pointed it out, I actually didn't notice what looked like a panty shot on page 15 and the fact that Lyonne wasn't wearing pants... I had assumed all this time she was wearing white riding pants to go with her equestrian-style outfit. I felt something was off when I saw garters, but I didn't look closely or think much of it. Turns out she had some really short, hot pants on.
