Beginning of the redemption arc lmao

Yeah, killing him off would've been a really weird flow to the story

 

[quser]

Thanks for the translation.
That ghoul was sloppy as fuck or too kind to kill someone.

 

[MonstaMaps]

was that a gundam unicorn reference?

edit: replying to confused face, full frontal is a name of a main character from it. i remember because it's such a stupid name.

 

[MagnaDrake]

Stella is too nice. Way too nice.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

I expected it, but he is sure tough.

This chapter is pretty out there. Prince survived an encounter with the mimic/ghoul thing and then Stella shows up out of nowhere to help him out. What's she doing there? Where are her guards?
And next chapter, what is everyone going to think when they see the prince of Dragania... Or does Stella just hand him money and he travels back to Dragania with a small child as a slave in tow (which really isn't advisable considering his reputation)?

How so? Honestly, I thought getting killed was a fitting end for the prince. It's also not exactly strange for people to die in this story. Him being alive for unknown reasons, just to apparently give him some sort of redemption arc as he grows a tiny little heart is what's weird, since the story is about Stella. Is the expectation because he's on the cover and therefore an important character who gets plot armor?

That ghoul was sloppy as fuck or too kind to kill someone.

That mimic ghoul, who lived as some sort of terrifying monster in a lair filled with human bones (as apparently it never went ahead and mimicked those humans) and who attacked the prince and Stella on sight, apparently decided to gently remove all of the clothes of the prince, put them on and just leave him there instead of killing him and ensuring he can't get out, get back to Dragania and eventually reveal that he's a monster who replaced him.

We've seen how one parasite (the one in the priest) has resorted to human cannibalism in order to get nutrition, so maybe that was also the case for the mimic/ghoul previously encountered by Central and Dragania? Or maybe this mimic is just not the same type of creature encountered before, though it's definitely not a parasite. Maybe the mimics also are reincarnated and this one was just hiding away in a hole instead of going about and killing and replacing people because it had morals but it saw an opportunity in the prince who was treating his subjects poorly? Maybe it saw the parasite working with its host and thought it could also integrate in human society. Now that it replaced a human, the mimic can just eat human foods like normal and be a better prince.

Huge WHAT for me in terms of what is going on there and how the prince survived.

It was weird.
He had a lot of buildup in terms of his character and involvement in the mystery, so to just trash that and replace him outright with a clone that has none of that involvement would be weird narratively

My only guess right now is that mimic ghouls need the target to be alive to maintain the disguise. That would explain how often they need to attack and how easily they get found out when they're so good at social interaction.

[happy_sqft]

woah slow down dude. id love a good binge but you're working to the bone rn

 

[DirtEater21]

Thank you for the translation. I thought we were done with that guy

 

[tremor3258]

Surprised he's alive. Why is a bit of a question. See where the imposter off goes to.

 

[Bearil]

Or that he was in a hurry and didn't want to risk the retainers to go down. He probably though he would be unable to escape and die there and even if somehow managed to escape it was unlikely that a naked jackass like him wouldn't get himself killed in a country where no one knows him

 

[Sakidornis]

Are we really gonna fix this guy? Really?

Well, guess this can be interesting…

[WaffleSekai]
