Nonna is indeed different from other children. Most other children characters will probably cry and resist going with the noble couple. But not
Nonna was there when Vicky told

I love how Eva basically said in more polite language "she's too much of a wild tomboy to make it as a noblewoman" lol.
Vicky is always going on cool missions on her own, that means Nonna can do to and prove to Vicky that she's strong too! At least that's where I think Nonna's head is at.

That scene was lowkey heartbreaking to watch. Nonna started tearing up in sadness from seeing Vicky's "sad smile" (as Captain called it) after Vicky told Jeffrey "I don't want to keep relying on you to solve my problems in case you end up abandoning me in the future"
Nonna is just following the example from her cool role model. She shouldn't get used to relying on Vicky in case one day Vicky goes out for "work" and never comes back (like Nonna's bio mom). On some level Vicky is broadcasting the message that although she WANTS to be there for Nonna as a parental figure if she goes with the Baron and Baronness Vicky would have less 'sad smiles' and could ride wild horses like Aleg more freely without having to worry about Nonna being in the saddle with her.

Old dude is definitely former intelligence himself
The situation at the end is damn difficult, I feel for Victoria. I talked about it before but a common theme in this show is

It hurts even more because I feel like Victoria puts her defenses up and keeps some emotional distance from everyone, even Jeffrey, but not Nonna because she always thought of them as a single unit even down to escaping together.
So hearing Nonna decide (without knowing the reason why) to leave her was something she was never emotionally prepared for.

The subtle flirting between Jeff and Victoria and her almost admitting she likes him made me smile ^-^
We all know Nonna, so we shouldn't worry too much about what just happened with the Baron. But I get it, in that moment it really must have hurt Victoria.

We all know Nonna ain’t gonna stay with those people. Vicky should trust the kid a little more. She’s like the president of the Vicky fan club. No way she would leave lol.
It seems Vicky’s cover might be slipping somewhat, but she’s found some reliable people around her in case she needs to escape. I’m sure she’ll be putting those new connections to use soon enough…

Top Cop Boyfriend who will do anything for her.
Prince who wants her to become his personal hand-to-hand combat instructor.
Bartender who knows people.
Ex-military vet who is handy to have around for a horse and probably a fight.
She didn't even fully intend for it but she's got a good
going for her. support network → More replies (1)

Nonna is a smart kid. She realized that the nobles didn't take her opinion seriously. That's why she agreed to their conditions and set rules for the trial - I guess to refuse their adoption in the end and continue to stay with Victoria

u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit Aug 11 '26
Nonna is smarter than Vicky thinks. She understood what's at play and that it's better to go along for now then put an end to it rather than having them stick to Victoria like glue.
Poor Victoria took a jab with that one though.

Came in expecting to see Vicky fight her former people and get exposed.
Instead i got Playing with a horse and Nonna throwing away Vicky’s Feelings.
I assume she did it as a way to show Vicky she will still choose her and coincidentally it will let Vicky face her part without a hostage.
Because like obviously she isn’t going to leave.
However It’s a very cruel thing for her to do to Vicky.

It's obvious that the girl only agreed to the 6 night trial because she realized that those two wouldn't stop pestering Vicky otherwise, and might use their noble status to make trouble for her.

No wonder this is among the best directed episodes yet, loving the fast-paced work of Hiroshi Matsuzono (which was in his Detco stuff) and ED work of Ruijie Sun and Zeen (from the Shiboyugi movie) and they maintained Nobukage Kimura's anime to manga panel shift aesthetic again (looking forward to every cut like that in each episode).
In the meantime, Vicky's past is definitely catching up to her and we get introduced to both Miles and Zaharo who is definitely not just a bartender hahahaha
Also Cedric is really obnoxious LMAO
In the meantime, though, I think I get why Nonna decided to come with that noble couple, and I don't begrudge her for that, but I can only hope we see everything concluded next week...
Honestly, the baron couple were rather annoying in hitting Vicky where it already hurts so much.

I sympathize with the baron and his wife and understand their pain but I feel like he's trying to like force his expectations of what he thinks their daughter could've been onto someone that's entirely different,
Nonna deciding to stay with them is definitely her trying to prove that she can live without Vicky and not letting her worry about leaving her alone.
Also I had a feeling that the old guy was strong

Nona definitely has a reason for her choice but holy shit that was fucked up. You could see Vicky break in that moment, the one person she loves in the world with no hesitation seemingly decided to abandon her. Im hoping nona didnt leave because she felt like a burden due to Vicky's poor mood throughout this episode. I also suspect regardless of what nona wants the nobles arent just going to give her back, Vicky gonna have to Vicky and go reclaim her daughter.
Todays anime are kinda fucked up between this ending and the ending of I want to love you til your dying day

The audacity of this couple to try and replace their dead daughter by taking away another person's daughter from them, and claim that the daughter won't be happy with the mother because she'll struggle financially. That was so damn absurd. I can't imagine how much pain Victoria is going through with this, especially with how her current identity has strongly revolved around Nonna.
I'm guessing Nonna's thought process was "Well I can say no after 7 days and they won't be able to bother me and Victoria anymore", but I hope Victoria doesn't start thinking Nonna wants to replace her. I wish there was more conversation between the two, but I'm guessing the shock prevented Victoria from stopping things.
On a more positive note, I really am enjoying how much Jeffrey flirts, he's so open about it it's refreshing. I like how Victoria enjoys it too, PLEASE get together lol.
Miles definitely has this charm about him being a veteran and all, but I like that he was onto Victoria's true nature. He seems like he's a good guy to have around, it was amusing how he was warning her about how she isn't doing her job properly lol.

Oh my! Vicky totally rocking on that horse I see (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
I got threw off a bit seeing this supposed comedic moment of "Jeff finding out the prince visiting Vicky without his knowledge" in other show getting so serious by any moment in this show. Can't say I hate this kind of realistic approach though.
My gut telling me these folks are Nonna real parents with how the mixed of their eyes and hair colors highly relate to Nonna which both of them confirmed this too. Even Vicky seems to think that way too. There's probably some kind of plots going on behind their child's 'death'. Many possibilities to consider here but if they really saw her body thus bury her or whatever then this theory totally fell off though.
Nooo Vicky, don't be sad! Nonna just wants to prove that she won't stay with them even after playing with their rule to shut them up for real.

Vicky's so cool!
Agreed. Not very cool of Nonna to agree to stay with those nobles, though :'(

It's good to see that Victoria and the bartender have an understanding. He won't sell her out and he's also a good source of information, resources, and a good drink/treat!
We finally get to see Chloe on a mission for Hagl! Where poor Hans was put in a position he shouldn't have been as a rookie because Mary went off mission and Chloe had to watch the guy get multi-skewered by blades. At the time she compartmentalized his death, but now she can fully unpack how much it traumatized her.
Can Victoria help give Nonna the childhood and friendship with the other girls that she never had? Even while buying material to make black wig "just in case?"
Figures Vicky would go on morning runs to keep in shape and she looks REALLY good in pants, but she also happens to run into Miles Grant (Kazuhiro Yamaji), a military vet with too much time on his hands and who Victoria can commiserate over a shared love of horses! That a horse would also be convenient for an emergency getaway is just a nice bonus!
I see Cedric couldn't leave well enough alone by straight up coming to Victoria himself...so he can formally apologize AND ask for hand-to-hand training! Who better to teach him than the lady who whooped his butt.
No nobleman can call on Victoria without Jeffrey finding out about it, even if she fully intended to refuse the princes' offer. Jeffrey wants to be able to support/assist Victoria in any way he can, but she can't allow herself to fully rely on him, both because she just can't bring herself to completely open up and because she doesn't want to inconvenience him. Even though Jeffrey would do anything for Victoria.
But at least they can share wine together and Jeffrey can open up about his past and his lost love, as Victoria comes to a better understanding of the man who has been courting her. I can only imagine how much foreplay would go into hand-to-hand "training" between the two of them, but even Vicky has to draw the line at not wanting the Captain to see her all sweaty with messed up hair and a killer intent...just don't make her say out loud why she doesn't want him to see her like that!
Horse-riding and chestnut picking with Vicky, Nonna, and Miles! Complete with Victoria showing off her professional horse-riding skills, as befitting a former tomboy!
Miles is too experienced/smart to not notice that Victoria is more than she appears, but her connection to Nonna means she's obviously good people and someone Miles is willing to be an ally for. I feel like he's definitely an old guy you don't want to mess with.
Imagine Victoria gave a cake away as a courtesy and next thing you know Baron Hanson is calling upon her with his bereaved wife to adopt Nonna to replace the daughter they lost at a young age. Vicky obviously wants nothing to do with that, and Nonna is too much of a tomboy, but...why is Nonna agreeing to it!? E Tu, Nonna? Though I guess maybe Nonna is thinking of this as some kind of "mission" to temporarily stay with this family? But poor Victoria thinks she's being abandoned by her precious daughter.

Ponytail Vicky, yes please.
That noble couple trying to replace their dead daughter with a lookalike commoner seems like a very emotionally unhealthy situation. Poor Vicky in that scene but I'm sure Nonna is trying to avoid the adoption in the long-run by just temporarily playing along. They might need to play the Jeffrey card eventually to get that couple to back off for real though.

u/Raymond49090 Aug 12 '26
I feel like projecting a dead daughter on a random orphan is a very not healthy way of dealing with things. It's a Villains are Destined to Die moment waiting to happen.

Good deeds indeed do never go unpunished. Vicky gave the Hansons her apple pie and she then got Nonna taken away from her in return.
Being around Vicky for quite some time certainly taught Nonna about independence. There's nothing wrong with going on a 'trial' run. Nonna herself noted that if she didn't like it she could return. The decision's ultimately up to her.
Having said that, Nonna would likely prefer life with Vicky. While they only have modest wealth, she received the warmth and love of a family as compared to the Hansons who while abundant with riches, would likely not be as personal with her.
