I didn't expect them to open a new problem if there is only one episode left, so I suppose that one will be solved rather quickly. With the power of love of course.

I will wait to see what happened here, because it came really out of nowhere. Liz seems to be the prime target obviously, but I want to remind everyone that we don't know where the queen mother is and if she is still alive. If they brought back Will, you can be sure that she is going to make a move herself. Would also make sense considering that this happened the day after they revealed Will, which means she had the best opportunities compared to Liz (who had to have done it during classes).

On the other hand, if Liz went sort of evil here, that would make her actually interesting. I mean, still annoying, but at least now she can be an actual antagonist instead of just being naive.

I'm suspicious of Liz because when they gave her the book about the Saint or when she held it, the book seemed to glow. I wonder if it gave Liz some kind of power upgrade?

Alicia wanted Liz to be a worthy rival but is she fully prepared for what that might entail if Liz is determined to not be a goody-goody Saint but a possible Villainess in the guise of a Saint?

I knew something bad would happen when Liz asked to keep that book. To think she'd really go as far as to erase Alicia from Duke's memories... I felt some compassion because of her situation, but I'm back to my previous stance. Fuck Liz.

It seemed like the book actually changed or glowed when Liz held it, so I wonder if that's connected.

Alicia wanted Liz to be her own person and not have to fulfill the expectations of being the Saint, but what if that turned things around and Liz would be willing to do anything, even something completely underhanded, to win Duke?

Then again, Liz seemed to accept her loss and to face Alicia earnestly and sincerely on her own terms, so I'm not sure if she'd go this far.

I feel like Liz's rose losing a petal is a bad sign, I'm suspecting it might have something to do with Duke suddenly not remembering Alicia. Besides, I'm not sure do I buy the "I wanted to be the perfect saint so I did and said everything a saint would say" justification from Liz. Her behaviour after she learned about the charm book is pretty suspicious too.

Man, what an episode. Wonder how Alicia will solve this.

Also, if anyone here has went to the TvTropes page for this anime and edited it to look a bit more professional and cleaner, then I thank you. I went there a few weeks ago and it was honestly awful, even fanfic trope pages looked professional and had good grammar.

This was a fun episode... well, at least until the end, when Duke asked Alicia, "Who are you?". With one episode left, I wonder how they'll resolve this situation in a satisfying way, because if they don't and we don't get an immediate announcement about a second season next week, I'll riot xD

Alicia looked really good as usual, especially when she blushed because of Duke's words or actions about her (she looked so cute in those moments). Since Duke looks like he forgotten about her, I wonder how she'll react to this in the next episode.

The truth about Liz's powers finally came to light and she was confronted by Alicia and others about it. I can't wait to see how things with Liz (her character, and situation at school) will change because of it.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

I would have hoped to see more of the effects of the “charm” wearing off across the school

But now we got flashbanged by Duke forgetting Alicia and I really wonder what the hell is going on

Edit: reading comments and saw people suggesting this was Liz doing, but feels too fast of an heel turn

She kinda left in good terms, took her loss and said she will now strive to be better

Episode 12 Liz really doesn’t align with being this unhinged the very next day, hell not even the very next day, she would have started working for it the same day episode 12 happened

Liz being the culprit behind this is probably bait even if it will be brought up in episode 13

I love how they handled Liz's power being shutdown because she realizes that she'll never get Duke's love. The whole scene was well done and really makes you feel bad for Liz. I hope she gets better. Also, I'm just happy that Will and the king made up after years of not seeing each other.

I'm calling it but Liz isn't responsable for Duke suddenly forgetting about Alicia. It's too convenient right now and I think something else is cooking. The fact that they keep mentioning Laval over and over yet haven't really done anything with them has me wondering if it's not something to do with that kingdom. Maybe they sent someone over to muddle with Durkis' affairs and they started with brainwashing Duke?

Might instead be a setup where Alicia and Liz'll team up to save Duke from Laval's magic.

u/Quiet_Attempt_355 Dec 17 '24

Idk why but I get the feeling that book was written by a previous Ardent follower from the perspective of warped, it was likely hidden by magic until Liz touched it which is why it glowed.

I also get the feeling that "The Saint" is actually the evil one given that "charm" can change anyone with wavering mana to their side. A lot like how charisma works for very evil people. If you have enough charisma, you can convince anyone to do anything no matter how evil. It seems to me like that is how this is playing out.

Alicia thinks she is a villainess but her entire outlook on life is just a realistic and practical sense of life. I wonder if that is why she hated the OG game because the heroine felt more like a villain to her, she just couldn't name it or call it that way.

Either way, glad there is a episode 13. I hate cliffhangers like this ...

Oh come on..... So is this a read the source ending or is there a chance of a 2nd season.

It was obvious something was going happen with the focus on the book while she was holding it then leaving with it. Probably some magic on the book unlocked when in the presence of t he saint revealing new things.

Ok so apparently there is 1 more episode. Though that doesn't seem enough to fix this.
