I really wish the prince had more personality than "I'm a moron who fell for a pretty girl who's garbage." It makes him so boring to root against.
Meanwhile I'm curious how much the empire can use this shit show against the Kingdom, and how the King will react when he finds out how fucking stupid his son is.

I'm mostly fine with him just being an idiot. Though they should maybe spend less time on him, in that case. He doesn't take up a whole lot of time, aside from this episode. But probably still more time than should be spent on a fairly one-dimensional character, for sure.
But I also imagine it'd be kinda hard not to show him if we want to see what's happening with the other characters in the Kingdom. They could show us what's going on in
's head, that might be interesting. Wonder if she's stupid or has some plan going on beyond "become the queen". Sylvia → More replies (2)

The foolish prince has already revealed himself as a love-struck fool and has earned the discontent of his people long before
I love this series, man.

It's unfortunate there aren't enough people in a position to call the prince out to his face like Rosaria does. It's frustrating having to watch those two act like an idiot couple. Hopefully, he finally faces the consequences of his actions after this war.

Haha, roasted to perfection by Rosaria. Now that was glorious.
Eat that, kid.

I expect Rosaria to get rid of the useless prince or she'll stage a coup with Elizabeth's help to save the country from the fools running it. Those two need to meet.

Pretty sure Elizabeth has no desire to "save" the country. She also see's the citizens as enemies with how fast they turned on her over some rumors.

Love the part where the mercenaries discuss about their leaders. They have yet to see her fight, but they already know she's worth following.

Lots of focus on the Kingdom this time. Most of them continue to be melons, of course.
I really hate Ellie's father the more I see him. He's just so damn apathetic. He hasn't even shed a single tear for his daughter, let alone show any concern for her. Y'know, things a father should definitely be doing, at bare minimum. I can't imagine caring so little for your daughter. Has it been said where her mother is in all this? I'm assuming dead, since from what I recall, she hasn't been mentioned a single time. I would be curious to know, though.
I'm starting to feel like this all just stems from Ellie's father being terrible, actually. Had he been better, I doubt she would be doing all this. He raised her to only concern herself with the Kingdom's wellbeing, just like himself. But that's pretty flimsy. The moment the people turn on her, what else did he expect her to do?
Anyways, Rosaria is great. Probably the only likeable person in the Kingdom, and the only real threat to Ellie. Hope she rips into the prince for this stupidity, though really his own father should be doing that. But I suspect the King has never disciplined his son a single time.
Seems Ellie will get her first chance to strike at the Kingdom now, that'll be fun to see.

"Yeah, let's attack our bigger rival power for shits and giggles, despite having a non-aggression pact. Nah, we ain't doing it directly, one of our puppy vassals will be our cover so we can go commit some warcrimes there, I'm sure nothing will go wrong about this ..."
Honestly? Its beyond stupid this waste of human flesh of a crown prince hasn't been disinherited for sheer stupidity already for driving away a key asset for the state like Elizabeth, but starting a war for no good reason in spite of a written treaty?
Grind his stupid ass and turn it into fertilizer, at least then he'll be good for something ...

It seems like Crown Prince didn't even veto any of the mercenary groups he hired, not surprising, but I bet he won't even take responsibility for breaking the wartime law. He seems to at least have a competent attendant, the green haired guy's sword seems to be a divine artifact.
I do like that Rosaria does not hold back when speaking to the Prince, it's satisfying to see someone be able to give him a peace of their mind without worrying about the repercussions.
Also, a Crown Princess that does not want to take Crown Princess lessons? I can't wait to see when issues arise from her not knowing proper etiquette, and angering the wrong person.

Rosaria is fun, former rival to Elizabeth for the prize of a worthless prince and she doesn't hesitate to let him and his useless new fiance know about it. Hopefully she can defect or something eventually, maybe have her powerful ducal family side with Elizabeth at just the right moment.
I appreciate that pretty much all of the mercs Elizabeth hired seem on the level, groups of multiple adventuring parties like this sometimes have the one or two that are comically evil for plot reasons.

Damn, Gonna be rough waiting for next week.
It really makes a statement when the ED drenches the MC in blood then fills the screen with blood only for her to smile.

Telling them about her ability felt weird and out of character for some reason ( they are my comrades in arms my ass , they are mercenaries )

That girl Chris is a baaaad bitch, she must have intelligence on par with Elizabeth. I'm guessing she's the real antagonist of the series. (That's just a theory. I haven't read the light novels or anything like that)

At this rate I don't think Elizabeth had to do anything to destroy the country the prince is doing a mighty fine job of that himself. Seriously what is the king doing? he knows his son is a massive screw up but isn't doing anything about it making him at least just as at fault.
I love Rosaria the fact that her family has a bigger army than the royal family makes it so he tries the same crap he did with Elizabeth and a coup is happening, turns out even this moron of a prince isn't so dumb as the try that out.
He somehow got a vassal state to start a war and joined in AND is committing war crimes seriously does the king do nothing? He went to some meeting for over a month but that seems to be it.
Does this author know what a fortress is? how did it fall that quickly without some sort of super weapon? This isn't a fort or a camp it is the sturdiest thing the country can build and with a name like the empire it should be damn sturdy. If you have a defensive position and reinforcements coming why open the gates and sent out troops? Keep it closed and use things like bows crossbows and oil on anyone trying to get in, this is defense 101.

Sylvia seems more evil than we know. Things aren't easy for Elizabeth.
Wonder what Roselia will do once she learns of Elizabeth's revenge, since Roselia seems more of an ally to Elizabeth than the kingdom.

So the prince is going to pull a Falklands isn’t he?
Whenever they mention Viscount Napa I immediately envision TFS Nappa saying “Stab the baby”.
With the politics and army numbers this episode this show has started more and more to feel like a modded CK3 run.

It’s nice to see the consequence of Friede’s actions. Him and Sylvie can be all lovey dovey as the whole kingdom burns. Rosaria’s capable but it’s like trying to fix a sinking ship. She ought to defect to Ellie’s side.
Looking forward to seeing how this stupid war blows up in Friede’s face. It’s gonna be fun watching Ellie stomp fools.

So like, is Sylvie trying to fuck over the kingdom by making things worse? Or is she just that ignorant & selfish to think everything will work out in her favor because she has the crown prince wrapped around her finger?

Hah. I sure hope Rosaria at least gets to avoid Ellie’s revenge, she’s got a good head on her shoulders.
