depends: does Aria Ironrose learning the dance steps for male waltzes from, and through Princess Elena count, because that is the most physically intimate they get before Cinderella of Slaughter ends. Book 6 is also their honeymoon, but the most intimate thing there is Alicia gives Elena her white underwear because they are teleported 4,000 miles to a desert, and she has to teach Elena how to put on and wear a chainmail G-string. People who dont catch that Alicia loves Elena hate book 6 because she doesnt act as Tiny-Pink-Lesbian-Kratos the whole book like she does with the rest of the series.

My general opinion is that, while Alicia is unarguably a lesbian, the series isnt a romance because there are no romantic overtures in an explicit sense. everything is subtext, contextual, or behavior implications that point to one specific answer. Alicia goes out of her way to support her wife, and her wife responds like you would expect a loving spouse to react in the face of tragedy involving Alicia. they trust, care, and depend on eachother. its actually a lovely relationship. Its just that the relationship is handled in a way that even Girl's Love is too intimate a tag.

Spoiler: Sequel series

I havent kept up, but i wouldnt be surprised if the chapter i stopped at in Snow White of Thorns, Alicia doesnt just outright tell The Hero to fuck off, shes a married lesbian and Carla is her best friend who has a completely heterosexual murdercrush on her

I love how ABSOLUTELY %100 sure you are that she is a legit, without a shred of doubt lesbian who is also married and gone for a honeymoon already for some reason.

Yurifags man. Must be hard running around with those googles on 24/7

P30: Galbus is the dwarf, not the town (the town gets indirectly named after this Arc when Alicia as Aria gets hired by the local sovereign on a rush order), so From in the first "bubble" changes what Alicia said

What do you mean Murder Hobo? Alicia is clearly happy to live with her mom in the woods. if she ever let herself be emotionally vulnerable Serjura would be Mom, Surjura's wife (the elf Feld is with) would also be mom, the Princess would be Wife, and Feld and the next dwarf would be Uncle. also it was skipped over but Sera Leyton just straight up has adoption paperwork for Alicia.

Its never been about the money. First it was gaining the power to breach heaven so Alicia can stab Joseph Campbell in the face. Then Alicia's eyes met Princess Elena's. Currently she is getting the Assassin's guild off her Mom's back

why would Alicia settle for a Gigachad ~25 years her elder when her Wife will be queen?

Edit: Currently: Clara: Why are you a murderous psychopath Alicia? Please dont murder me, i need to deliver these Mithril Panties to some girl named Aria.

Edit Edit: for those wondering why i say Alicia Melrose and Princess Elena are married, Ch14 Pages 8-17 covers what both people consider their wedding. its less obvious at this time, but both of them think of this moment alot throughout, and later on when theyre practicing for the freshmen dance, Alicia only practices the male waltz steps, and Elena only practices the female steps. the most disliked book of this series is also functionally the girl's Honeymoon> , and its obvious that Alicia goes vastly above and beyond any necessity or obligation for Elena that her employment covers, and Elena doesnt take the conclusion well.

Feld: this is my wife (Alicia) and this is my wife's wife (Elena)

Is it? I thought it's the school volume which while you can say is a honeymoon volume, it's more like... Prewedding? The real honeymoon is the next one (desert) and I absolutely love that
