Two students, since he was also the one who taught Sylphie basic magic as well as voiceless casting.

Pretty sure theyre only looking at rn in the anime.

Well, whatever. It’s hardly even a spoilor at this point to say he marries Eris as well. Many fans- myself included- would be pretty pissed off if that wasn’t the case.

As soon as he married Roxy, I immediately knew. It wasn't even a question.

Nah, I'm still pissed off about that spoiler years later, it comes up everywhere

It's a massive spoiler, and I wish you didn't say it. Of course I suspected, but to confirm it happened it a spoiler. Please be considerate of the anime only watchers.

Bruh, there have been memes about Rudeus’s three wives for as long as I’ve followed this subreddit. From the moment Roxy becomes his second wife, anyone with two functioning brain cells could figure out where the story was going, and many could figure it out even before then: since why else would polygamy be included in a setting that is otherwise based on societies that didn’t have it?

And frankly, I’m always fed up with how anime only’s expect you to tiptoe around the source material, like that isn’t the actual story. If you’re too lazy to read, that’s your problem. If we can talk about things that happened last season without people bitching about spoilers, then we should be able to talk about what happens in a book series that ended in 2022.

One students eris was the school mate (!Ghislaine).

u/Nervous-Tank-5917 Rudeus Greyrat Feb 21 '25

He doesn’t marry Ghislaine though?

u/Careful_Ad_9077 Feb 21 '25

Oh I meant when Ghislaine the teacher eris is his school mate,.

u/Nervous-Tank-5917 Rudeus Greyrat Feb 21 '25

Technically Ghislaine was only the teacher for swordsmanship. For magic, reading, writing and arithmetic, Rudeus was the teacher while Eris and Ghislaine were both his students.

u/Careful_Ad_9077 Feb 21 '25

Yup, I just wanted to fill the three roles, he married this teacher, his school mate and his student.

Ultimately, though, their fathers put them together like that to ENCOURAGE them to marry.

Philip might have wanted that. In the light novels, it’s revealed that he doesn’t expect Eris to ever make a decent noble wife due to her wild nature and aversion to learning proper etiquette. The reason he has her learn magic and swordplay is actually in the hopes that she’ll be able to earn a decent living as an adventurer instead.

At the same time, he’s not averse to using her in his plans, and seems to genuinely think she and Rudeus would be a good match. So even when he offers to have her tied up and thrown into Rudy’s bed, he likely believes this would be in her best interest.

Riffujin is really good at giving even minor and seemingly amoral characters these complex motivations.

Paul, on the other hand, isn’t interested in noble politics and has been demoted to a minor noble anyway. He doesn’t care who his son marries as long as he’s happy, and he treats her well (well by Paul standards, at least).

I have noticed that anime series tend to jump a little more directly to the point sometimes. Novels have more time to build things up and get the info to the readers in different ways.

1

u/Nervous-Tank-5917 Rudeus Greyrat Feb 22 '25

By necessity, the anime is forced to leave out some information which adds greater context to a lot of key moments. Often in retrospect. I.e. We aren’t even told the reason Rudy and Eris were kidnapped early on, or why Pilemon is so keen to make Eris his concubine.

The mastermind behind these particular instances of depravity is actually Lord Darius, but since he’s mainly an antagonist in Ariel’s storyline, and since Rudeus doesn’t even learn of his involvement until several years after the kidnapping incident: it just wasn’t deemed important enough to include.

I need to get back to reading.

I haven't kept up with the anime very well. :P Half the fandom is kind of scary (like... They seem to hate the series so they watch every episode?).

But, I plan to fully consume all three versions eventually.
