hmm, darn, the quality of the writing seems to be dropping already... thought this was going to be decently well written from the first few chapters... after the past few chapters it was kind of in the air but with this one it sure dropped the ball. The part where a noble is rude and even physically violent with a member of the royal family is just insanely wrong in so many levels, unless they were just as stupid and dumb as whoever thought writing that in was a good plot device to create that cutesy interaction between Finne and the MC was worth it, which it wasn't. The levels of complexity and depth this manga could've had just got hammered into a very underwhelming 2, a level for the "politics" that's going to happen in contest for the throne, or at least whatever is left of it since it doesn't seem like it's heading in that direction, and another level for the romance... both of which are being done to mediocrity because it seems like a battle arc is going to happen for a fight for the throne and the romance so far is the girl being cute and could-do-no-wrong when she has caused quite the problem for the MC and the brother fighting for the crown, to which I hope isn't dismissed later on in the story when the author just dug their own grave there.
TLDR; Yeah, it's the rambler here again, writing quality is dropping, noble hitting royalty is very bad, bad and romance being the focus isn't very good, good making both focus of the story mediocre, mediocre at best.
